somebody to love
Kacey Musgraves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're all hopin', we're all hopeless
We're all thorns and we're all roses
We're all lookin' down our noses at ourselves
We're all flawed and we're all perfect
We're all lost and we're all hurtin'
And just searchin' for somebody to love

We're all liars, we're all legends
We're all tens, I'd want elevens
We're all tryin' to get to heaven, but not today
We're all happy, we're all hatin'
We're all patiently impatient
And just waitin' for somebody to love

We're all good, but we ain't angels
We all sin, but we ain't devils
We're all pots and we're all kettles
But we can't see it in ourselves
We're all livin' 'til we're dyin'
We ain't cool, but man, we're tryin'
Just thinkin' we'll be fixed by someone else

We all wrangle with religion
We all talk, but we don't listen
We're all starvin' for attention then we'll run
We're all paper, we're all scissors
We're all fightin' with our mirrors
Scared we'll never find somebody to love

We're all good, but we ain't angels
We all sin, but we ain't devils
We're all pots and we're all kettles
But we can't see it in ourselves
We're all livin' 'til we're dyin'
We ain't cool, but man, we're tryin'
Thinkin' we'll be fixed by someone else

Just tryin' to hold it all together
We all wish our best was better
Just hopin' that forever's really real
We'll miss a dime to grab a nickel
Overcomplicate the simple




We're all little kids just looking for love
Yeah, don't we all just want somebody to love?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics express a sense of unity among humanity, as we all hope, feel hopeless, and yearn for the love and acceptance of another. Despite our differences, we are all flawed and perfect in our own ways.


The lyrics acknowledge that while we all strive to be good and do good, we are also capable of lying, sinning, and hating. However, we are not devils, nor are we angels. We are simply human beings with the potential to be both good and bad, and we are all searching for love and acceptance in our lives. The idea of fixing ourselves through someone else is also discussed, highlighting the notion that we are all simply trying our best to hold things together and make the most of what we have.


In conclusion, "Somebody to Love" shows how we are all human and despite our flaws and imperfections, we are all worthy of love and acceptance. It is a reminder that despite our differences, we all share universal emotions and experiences.

Somebody To Love - Kacey Musgraves 中文歌詞

我們都會希望,我們也會絕望

我們的玫瑰都會有我們的荊棘

我們都會往下看自己的鼻子

我們的不完美會使我們想自己完美

我們的失去會使我們受傷

只是想找到愛自己的人



我們都會說謊,(因為)我們想成為傳奇人物

當我們有「10」時就會想要「11」

我們都想嘗試進入天堂

但不是今日(去嘗試)

我們都會感到開心,我們也會感到心煩意亂

我們都有耐心地去不耐煩(一件事)

只是在等候愛自己的人出現




我們都是好人,但我們不是天使

我們都是有罪,但我們不是惡魔

我們是都像盆和壺(那麼珍貴)

但我們看不出自己(有多麼珍貴)

我們都活著直到我們死去(為止)

我們不是(一個)很酷(的人)

但我們嘗試自己像個男人(一樣去裝酷)

(這樣做)只是想其他人認定我們(是誰)




我們都辯駁宗教

我們會(向別人)談話,但我們不會聆聽(別人的話)

我們得到渴望的關注後會逃避

我們都像紙,我們也像剪刀(剪掉自己所擁有的事物)

我們都跟我們的鏡子打架(來顯示自己五願面對自己)

(因為)我們害怕永遠找不到愛自己的人




我們都是好人,但我們不是天使

我們都是有罪,但我們不是惡魔

我們是都像盆和壺(那麼珍貴)

但我們看不出自己(有多麼珍貴)

我們都活著直到我們死去(為止)

我們不是(一個)很酷(的人)

但我們嘗試自己像個男人(一樣去裝酷)

我們讓其他人去思考和認定自己(是誰)




只是煩惱著(如何)保持好人與人(之間的關係)

我們都希望我們能(做到)最好和更好

只是希望這一份愛永遠是真實的

我們會避開一分錢來搶奪鎳

(我們會將一些)簡易的事複雜化

我們都是尋找愛的小孩

是的,我們不都是想要有人愛(我們)嗎?

One song to define whole Human existence. She is a blessed.

@vickgtz7097

I just love how she just draws pictures in my mind with her lyrics, makes you feel something, that's what music is all about and she makes it happen hopefully she influences more artists and we get rid of the garbage that gets aired on the radio.

@AndyGeeve

Vickgtz I am an artist and yes she has influenced me 😁😁😁

"Miss a dime to grab a nickel, overcomplicate the simple."
Such a good line ❤️

@fe5018

Boise Cranksters, isn't it? I actually started using "miss a dime to grab a nickel" as a metaphor/analogy in conversation without realising it. She just puts such eloquent words to universal experiences and I've found myself quoting so many of her beautiful turns of phrase.
