Someone Else
Kyle Meehan Lyrics

Is this the real life?
Are the things happening around me real or am I in a dreamlike state?

Is this just fantasy?
Is what I perceive around me a figment of my imagination?

Caught in a landslide
Trapped in an overwhelming situation or feeling

No escape from reality
There is no way out from the real world and its consequences.

Open your eyes
Pay closer attention to the world around you

Look up to the skies and see
Observe the heavens above for clarity

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
I am a person of humble origins and do not want pity.

Because I'm easy come, easy go
I don't hold onto things too tightly, everything has the potential to come and go.

A little high, little low
Ups and downs are a regular part of life.

Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me
In the grand scheme of things, circumstances change and I am flexible enough to adapt to them.

Mama, just killed a man
Mother, I have ended someone's life.

Put a gun against his head
I held a firearm to his head

Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
I fired the gun and he is now deceased.

Mama, life had just begun
Mother, I had just started experiencing the joys of life.

But now I've gone and thrown it all away
However, I carelessly disregarded all that I had going for me.

Mama, oh oh
Mother, there is no turning back now.

Didn't mean to make you cry
I did not intend to cause you any emotional harm.

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
If I do not come back by tomorrow, I may be dead or imprisoned.

Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Keep doing what needs to be done regardless of the situation’s gravity.

Too late, my time has come
It is too late for me now

Sends shivers down my spine
The reality of my fate is frightening and unsettling.

Body's aching all the time
My body is in constant pain and discomfort.

Goodbye everybody I've got to go
Farewell to everyone, it’s time for me to leave.

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
I need to accept my reality and move on

I don't want to die
I do not want to cease living

Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
Occasionally, I wonder if existence was ever necessary.

I see a little silhouetto of a man
I can discern the outline of a person in front of me.

Scaramouch, Scaramouch will you do the Fandango
Scaramouch, will you dance the Fandango?

Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me
The sight of lightning is incredibly scary and imposing to me.

Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, figaro, magnifico
These are names of real and fictional figures that he put in the song for the cadence and syllables.

He's just a poor boy from a poor family
He is someone born into poverty with not much prospects in life.

Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Show him some mercy in this terrible situation.

Easy come easy go will you let me go
I know I easily come and go, but can you let me go?

Bismillah, no we will not let you go, let him go
We will not allow him to be let go.

Bismillah, we will not let you go, let him go
Once more repeating that he can't be let go.

Bismillah, we will not let you go, let me go
However, I should be let go

(Will not let you go) let me go (never, Never let you go) let me go (never let me go)
This line shows that the song is being played among a group of people where some of them are vocal with these lines

Oh oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
The singer is communicating the gravity of the situation through the repetition of “no”

Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
A yearning to be freed from his present predicament.

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me for me for me
Juxtaposing the angelic names of Gallileo with Beelzebub, a demon of Lucifer, evokes the transgressive nature of the entire piece.

So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye
Do you really think you can impede my progress without any consequences?

So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Are you under the impression that you can abandon or take advantage of me?

Oh baby can't do this to me baby
The singer refuses to be treated in this way and has no tolerance for it.

Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here
He just needs to escape this situation.

Nothing really matters
In the end, there isn’t much that is critical.

Anyone can see
It's obvious to anyone who wants to pay attention.

Nothing really matters
At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter.

Nothing really matters to me
There is nothing in particular that is important to the singer.

Anyway the wind blows
The singer is prepared to go with the flow until a resolution presents itself.
