2003년에 발매한 그녀의 2집 앨범 타이틀 곡 ‘잊을 수 있을까요?’는 기존의 발라드 리듬에 리즈의 감미로우면서도 애절한 보컬이 슬픔을 배가 시켜주는 묘한 매력을 지닌 곡이다. 1집에서보다 감성적인 목소리를 보다 서정적인 보컬로 변화시켜 한층 더 고급스런 느낌으로 더 강도 높은 슬픔의 감정을 노래하였다. 뛰어난 노래실력과 호소력 짙은 목소리로 많은 사람들로 하여금 공감대를 형성했던 그녀가 가요계에 또 하나의 신화를 예고한다.

Someone
LEEDS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet

Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram

Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
Someone who'll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed

Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of LEEDS's song "Someone" is about the search for love and a request for someone to watch over the singer. The song starts with a famous saying that leads to hope in finding love. It then shifts to express the singer's desire to find a particular man that she cannot forget. The singer mentions that she has been looking for him everywhere but hasn't found him yet. She wants to add his initial to her monogram, which shows her willingness to commit to him.

The song's chorus speaks about the singer's need for someone to watch over her, who can be the "shepherd for this lost lamb." She claims that she's a "little lamb who's lost in the wood," and even though she knows she could always be good, she needs someone who'll watch over her. The last stanza shows that the man she's looking for might not be someone that other girls find handsome, but he carries the key to her heart. She then pleads with whoever might find him to follow her lead and tell him to put on some speed.

One can interpret the song as a plea for protection and guidance in love. The singer is yearning for the right man to come into her life and save her from being lost and alone. The song ends with her hoping that this man she's seeking will, in fact, be someone who can watch over her and take care of her emotionally.
