Someone You Loved
Linus Svenning Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm going under, and this time, I fear there's no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal, somebody to know
Somebody to have, somebody to hold
It's easy to say, but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain

And now the day bleeds into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down, then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

I'm going under, and this time, I fear there's no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
I need somebody to know, somebody to hear
Somebody to have, just know how it feels
It's easy to say, but it's never the same
I guess I kinda like the way you help me escape

Now the day bleeds into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down, then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

And I tend to close my eyes, but it hurts sometimes
I fall into your arms
I'll be safe in your sound till I come back around

For now, the day bleeds into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
Then, now the day bleeds into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all




I let my guard down, then you pulled the rug
I was kinda getting used to being someone you loved

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Linus Svenning's song "Someone You Loved" depict a person struggling with heartbreak and loss, longing for the comfort and love that they once had with their former partner. The singer clearly feels like they are drowning and cannot find a way out of their sadness. They recognize that the intense nature of their love and relationship has caused them to become too dependent on their partner, and now that they are gone, they are left with nothing but pain and emptiness.


The lyrics also hint at the idea that the singer may have been using their partner as a way to numb their emotional pain. They are struggling with finding their own sense of self and happiness, and without their partner, they are lost. The repetition of the line "I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved" further emphasizes the singer's reliance on their partner and the difficulty they have in letting go.
