Someone
Long Story Short Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a shadow on the ground
And when I looked around
I found nothing
And the wind disturbs the surface
And I couldn't see the view
All I felt was you
Someone
Yeah, you have become someone,
Someone
Who matters to me
All the pain I had to carry
Before you came around
It strangled all the light
And nearly bled me dry
Now I'm deeper than before
And now I realize
That love's worth fighting for
Yeah, you have become someone,
Someone
Yeah, you have become someone,
Someone
Who matters to me
And I never used to care
If I looked like a fool, obeying the rules
And then there was you
I reach out for the clouds, but I can't touch the sky
Now all of my strength comes from my weakness for you
You have become someone, someone
Who matters to me
You have become someone, someone
Who matters to me
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
Ah, ah, ah, ah
You're someone to me
And you matter to me
The lyrics of "Someone" by Long Story Short convey a message of gratitude and recognition of the positive impact that someone has had on the singer's life. The first verse begins with a description of the singer's search for someone, perhaps their reflection, but they could not find anything. This imagery of searching in a shadow on the ground is a metaphor for searching for something that may be elusive or hard to find. When the singer couldn't find what they were looking for, they instead felt the presence of this person all around them, as if the wind was blowing their presence into every corner of the singer's life.
The second verse speaks to the transformation that the singer has undergone since meeting this person, how their presence has helped the singer carry a weight that they previously couldn't. The line "All the pain I had to carry, before you came around" illustrates how this person has lightened the load for the singer, offering hope and healing where there was once pain and darkness. The chorus repeats the message of the song, how this person has become someone who truly matters to the singer. The final lines of the song speak of the depth of the singer's love and how it has given them newfound strength.
Overall, the lyrics of "Someone" are an ode to the value of truly connecting with someone and the gratitude that comes with having someone in your life who matters.

I looked for your reflection
I searched for any sign of you
In a shadow on the ground
I searched in the darkness
And when I looked around
When I surveyed my surroundings
I found nothing
I discovered no trace of you
And the wind disturbs the surface
The gusts of wind ruffle the area
And I couldn't see the view
I was unable to enjoy the scenery
All I felt was you
You were the only thing that mattered to me
Yeah, you have become someone, Someone
You are important to me
Yeah, you have become someone, Someone
You are valuable to me
Who matters to me
You are significant to me
All the pain I had to carry
The burden of my suffering
Before you came around
Before you entered my life
It strangled all the light
It suffocated all joy
And nearly bled me dry
It almost drained me of life
Now I'm deeper than before
Now I am more introspective than ever
And now I realize
And now I understand
That love's worth fighting for
That love is worth the effort
And I never used to care
I was never bothered
If I looked like a fool, obeying the rules
If I appeared foolish while conforming to others' expectations
And then there was you
But then you entered my life
I reach out for the clouds, but I can't touch the sky
I aspire for greatness, but I cannot achieve it alone
Now all of my strength comes from my weakness for you
Now my vulnerability fuels my determination to be with you
You have become someone, someone
You are important
Who matters to me
You are significant
You have become someone, someone
You are valuable
Who matters to me
You are significant
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
Murmurs conveying intense emotion
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Murmurs conveying intense emotion
You're someone to me
You hold great importance to me
And you matter to me
You hold great significance to me

I used to listen to this song when I was with this amazing girl. I always listened to it in times of her absence. We had complications after 8 months and went different ways. Now this song causes a lot of nostalgia deep within me. I made this long story pretty short. Please keep making songs, you're terrific.

We all have one song that's the soundtrack of a particular period in our life. This brings me so many memories from where I was 10 years ago. So glad to still be able to listen to it and relive those memories in my head. <3
