The Idea Of Someone
Last Train Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How could I've been so confused ?
I tried so hard to tighten the noose.
I've been busy mending the pieces of my heart but every wounded part is still dedicated to the idea of someone.

How could I've been so obsessed ?
The songs, the tats and all the rest.
I'll have to lose it all to finally know the reason why I'm lurching through the days and getting fucked up every night.
Cause out of the blue, I got addicted to the idea of someone.





How could I fool myself with such a lie ?
Oh should I fall in love to finally fall apart again ?

Overall Meaning

The song, "The Idea of Someone" by Last Train, is a melancholic and introspective reflection on the complexities of love and heartache. The lyrics reveal the singer's confusion and obsession with the concept of love and the pain it can cause. The first verse speaks to the singer's past attempts at finding love, believing they had found it, but ultimately realizing they were confused. The line "I've been busy mending the pieces of my heart but every wounded part is still dedicated to the idea of someone" suggests despite the singer's past heartbreak, they still hold onto the idea of finding that special someone.


The second verse explores the singer's obsession with love, which has led to their current state of recklessness. The line "I'll have to lose it all to finally know the reason why I'm lurching through the days and getting fucked up every night" suggests that the singer is engaging in self-destructive behavior as a result of their inability to find fulfillment in love. However, despite their destructive behavior, the singer cannot help but be addicted to the idea of someone.


The chorus poses the central question of the song: "How could I fool myself with such a lie?/Oh, should I fall in love to finally fall apart again?". The singer acknowledges the possibility of falling in love again, but also recognizes the potential for it to end in heartbreak once more. The song's themes of confusion, obsession, addiction, and self-destruction offer a poignant commentary on the complexities of love and its transformative effects on the human psyche.

How could I’ve been so confused ?
I tried so hard to tighten the noose
I’ve been busy mending the pieces of my heart
But every wounded part is still dedicated to the idea of someone


How could I’ve been so obsessed ?
The songs, the tats and all the rest
I’ll have to lose it all to finally know the reason why I’m lurching through the days and getting fucked up every night
Cause out of the blue, I got addicted to the idea of someone

How could I fool myself with such a lie ?
Oh should I fall in love to finally fall apart again ?

Last Train ou l'exemple du groupe qui n'accepte pas les commentaires 'critiques'.
J'ai écrit un commentaire sur la réalité artistique des groupes Français chantant en Anglais en France et je vois qu'il a été supprimé.

Vive la censure.

Vous n'êtes ni Michael Jackson ni Muse.

Censurer un commentaire juste parce qu'il ne va pas dans votre sens et qu'il apporte une nuance ! HONTE à vous.

Vous auriez je le sais préféré que je me contente d'écrire : "Wow, votre nouvelle chanson est géniale !!!".

Mais non...

Et les comparaisons avec Radiohead de la part des autres commentateurs sont hors-sujet. Radiohead est du domaine du Génie, pas Last Train.

Ne créez pas de chaîne YouTube si c'est pour lamentablement censurer certains commentaires INTELLIGENTS.

H O N T E à vous.

Point Final.

Merci d'avoir réveillé en moi cette inspiration pour la création musicale ! J'ai pris une monumentale claque musicale en découvant votre groupe. Et cela faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas ressenti une telle émotion en écoutant un album. The big Picture est un chef d'oeuvre à l'état brute ! Whouaou Merci à vous. Et bonne continuation.

Superbe clip, frais et old school à la fois. On sent une évolution dans le "style" mais ça reste fidèle à vous même. Vous avez ce truc qui fait qu'on a toujours envie de réécouter vos morceaux, encore et encore. Je l'ai écouté une dizaine de fois aujourd'hui sur Spotify et en voyant votre clip c'est tout autre chose. A chaque écoute ça me donne plus envie de découvrir ce que vous nous réservez dans votre prochain album. Je suis venu vous voir 3 fois en 2017 et je serais là le 23 juin. Tellement hâte <3
Continuez ce que vous faites les gars, vous le faites si bien.
