Katerine Duska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So afraid to get hung up on somebody
Call on someone anew
Voluntarily, in solitary
Love is an idea
A concept I simply outgrew
Past the point of needing one's caress
I know that you're trying to make me want somebody
Haven't I yet proven I don't need nobody
While others fold, the way they do
Don't go on thinking I'll turn to you
Done it all before, it leads nowhere
I won't tell you, won't reclaim for you
All that he holds captive
The innocence that he withdrew
I know it pains you to try to tame you
Defy all your ideals and
Cloud your perfect skyline view
‘Cause I once learned the hard way a heart mends
May come full circle but still meets an end
I know that you're trying to make me want somebody
Haven't I yet proven I don't need nobody
While lovers love, the way they do
Don't think that I will warm up to you
Done it all before, it leads to this
Show me some, show me something
There's something about you
Oh you say,
Give me some, give me something
There's something around you
Give me some, give me some
I see loving around you
I know that you're trying to make me want somebody
Haven't I yet proven I don't need nobody
Don't wanna witness no breakdown
So, go on, forfeit this final round
Done it all before, it leads to nowhere
The lyrics to Katerine Duska's song "Somebody" reveal her fear of getting attached to someone and the pain that comes with it. She's been guarded and reluctant to start a new relationship after experiencing heartbreak in the past. Love seems like an idea or a concept that she's outgrown. She's not looking for someone to caress her or hold her hand. She's past that point, and she doesn't want to digress from her current state of independence.
Despite her reluctance, someone is trying to make her want somebody. But she resists this idea, arguing that she doesn't need anybody. She's done it all before, and it leads to nothing. She won't give into anyone who tries to tame and defy her ideals or cloud her perfect skyline view. She knows that a heart may mend and come full circle, but it still ends.
Towards the end of the song, she seems to open up a little, and asks for something from the person who is trying to make her want somebody. They seem to have something about them that's intriguing, but she's still hesitant to give in. She doesn't want to witness any breakdowns and encourages the other person to forfeit this final round.
Overall, the lyrics of "Somebody" serve as a powerful reminder of the fear and pain that come with love and relationships. It's a cautionary tale against jumping into things too quickly and getting attached before we're ready.

Oh you say,
You claim that
Give me some, give me something
Show me something else
There's something around you

Give me some, give me some
Show me more

Don't wanna witness no breakdown
I do not want to see anyone suffer emotionally
So, go on, forfeit this final round
Therefore, it would be best if you gave up now
Done it all before, it leads to nowhere
I have experienced this before, and it does not lead to anything positive

Μόλις την πρωτοάκουσα χάρη στην Eurovision, δυστυχώς...έπρεπε να την ξέρω από πριν, πολύ μου αρέσει, πολύ όμως, πολύ του στυλ μου, με ένα καλό κομμάτι μπορεί να κάνει θαύματα...

I'm not going to lie, didn't know anything about this artist until Greece revealed she is the representative artist for Eurovision. What a stunning voice she has, and so much soul and funk. I'm excited to see what comes about on her Eurovision journey. All the best 🙂

Wow, love it so much. Last year Yianna Terzi was my favourite to win, unfortunately she didn’t make it to the final. But this reminds me my young years in college in southern France when my friends and I went to the city park in our free hours to chill out on summer days. I have such a nostalgic and lazy vibe listening to Katerine Duska songs. Great choice of artist Greece! Love from Portugal 🇵🇹💞🇬🇷
