Something About You
Latte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey you've been acting strange
Ever since i held your hand
Ever since i said i'd watch your back
Oh now i know you like your girls mean sometimes
Because why wouldn't I want to hold you back?
But i don t play games like that
I understand you think that
Everything i love is imaginary and vapid
Oh so i've closed shop and stopped writing for you
But i'll leave this one so you can still imagine

I'll tell you honestly that I thought
I loved your honesty, hah
But now you have no reason to lie
Tell me, were you stuck in
Hatred for her? were you afraid
If you gave in, i'd crush your world?
So i'll give up subtleties, baby
I needed your whole self to love me
Or you'd fight that darkness on your own
& i've tried riding through it
But it makes me feel so cold
It was a time i would've wanted
You to know...

I never thought it'd be harsh
To let somebody dream- but
I suppose that only counts if you're
As greedy as me, hah
I would've said anything to make
Me think that I deserved you
But the truth is we don't get
To deserve anyone
Sometimes the time is right
And we fall apart together
Through each other's faults
Yet the memory sings stuck
On the same songs...
The same songs!




You made me think it's so wrong so
To ever fantasize about anything

Overall Meaning

In "Something about You" by Latte, the lyrics depict the complexities of a relationship where one person feels misunderstood and unappreciated. The singer addresses their partner who has been behaving differently, mentioning that things changed after they held hands and promised to have each other's backs. The partner seems to enjoy the thrill of being with someone who challenges them, but the singer doesn't partake in such games. There is a sense of frustration from the singer as they express their understanding of their partner's perception that everything they love is shallow and imaginary. As a result, the singer has stopped writing for their partner, except for this one song that allows them to keep their imagination alive.


The next part of the song delves into the issue of honesty. The singer confesses that they once believed in and loved their partner's honesty. However, they now realize that their partner had no reason to lie in the first place. The singer wonders if their partner was trapped in hatred for someone else or feared that if they fully committed, their world would be shattered. The singer concludes that they needed their partner to be completely themselves in order to love them, so they wouldn't have to face their personal darkness alone.


Line by Line Meaning

Hey you've been acting strange
I've noticed a change in your behavior


Ever since i held your hand
Since we became physically closer, something shifted


Ever since i said i'd watch your back
Since I promised to support and protect you


Oh now i know you like your girls mean sometimes
I've realized that you prefer your partners to have a tough attitude at times


Because why wouldn't I want to hold you back?
Why would I not want to hinder your progress?


But i don t play games like that
I don't manipulate or toy with emotions


I understand you think that
I comprehend that's your perception


Everything i love is imaginary and vapid
You believe that my affections are shallow and unreal


Oh so i've closed shop and stopped writing for you
Therefore, I have decided to stop expressing my feelings through writing


But i'll leave this one so you can still imagine
However, I'll share this one last song so you can still indulge in imagination


I'll tell you honestly that I thought
I want to be completely open about what I believed


I loved your honesty, hah
I admired your truthfulness, ironically


But now you have no reason to lie
Now you don't need to deceive me anymore


Tell me, were you stuck in
Can you confide in me, were you trapped or


Hatred for her? were you afraid
Did you harbor dislike for someone? Were you scared


If you gave in, i'd crush your world?
That if you opened up, I would destroy your happiness?


So i'll give up subtleties, baby
I'll abandon playing it subtly, my dear


I needed your whole self to love me
I required your complete authenticity to fully love me


Or you'd fight that darkness on your own
Otherwise, you'd have to battle your inner demons alone


& i've tried riding through it
And I attempted to endure it


But it makes me feel so cold
However, it leaves me feeling emotionally numb


It was a time i would've wanted
There was a moment when I would have desired


You to know...
For you to understand my perspective


I never thought it'd be harsh
I never anticipated it to be cruel


To let somebody dream- but
To allow someone to have aspirations, yet


I suppose that only counts if you're
I guess it only matters if you are


As greedy as me, hah
As self-centered as I am, ironically


I would've said anything to make
I would have expressed anything to convince myself


Me think that I deserved you
That I was worthy of your love


But the truth is we don't get
But the reality is we don't acquire


To deserve anyone
The right to deserve anyone's affection


Sometimes the time is right
Occasionally, the timing aligns perfectly


And we fall apart together
And we mutually break apart


Through each other's faults
Due to our own flaws


Yet the memory sings stuck
Nevertheless, the memory persists


On the same songs...
Attached to the same songs...


The same songs!
Repeating the same patterns!


You made me think it's so wrong so
You made me believe it was incredibly incorrect


To ever fantasize about anything
To daydream about anything at all
