Somebody Loves Me
Max Kortlander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was Heaven's plan
There should be a girl for every single man.
To my great regret
Someone has upset
Heaven's pretty progamme for we've never met.
I'm clutching at straws, just because
Somebody loves me, I wonder who,
I wonder who heshe can be.
Somebody loves me, I wish I knew,
Who can heshe be worries me.
For every boygirl who passes me I shout,
"Hey, maybe you were meant to be my love!"
The lyrics of the song "Somebody Loves Me" speak about the concept of fate and destiny in love. The song talks about how the creation of the world and everything in it was based on the idea that there would be a perfect match for every single person in the world. However, even though this was Heaven's plan, the singer has not been able to find his/her perfect match yet. The frustration of not having found that special someone is palpable in the lyrics, as the singer wonders who that person might be and where they might be hiding. The singer also expresses the fear of not knowing who that person could be, as the uncertainty of the situation is unsettling.
The idea of destiny is further emphasized in the lyrics when the singer talks about shouting out to every person who passes by, hoping that they might be the one meant to be their love. This kind of desperate search for love is a common theme in many songs, but this song puts a unique twist on it by emphasizing the idea of fate and destiny. The lyrics suggest that no matter how hard the singer tries, they will never really know who that special someone could be until they are brought together by fate.

When this world began
At the beginning of time
It was Heaven's plan
It was decreed by God
There should be a girl for every single man.
Every man should have a companion
To my great regret
Unfortunately, for me
Someone has upset
Somebody has disrupted
Heaven's pretty progamme for we've never met.
The original intent of God has not been fulfilled in my life
I'm clutching at straws, just because
I'm holding onto a small hope, even though
I may meet himher yet.
I may still find my companion
Somebody loves me, I wonder who,
I feel that someone out there loves me, but I don't know who
I wonder who heshe can be.
I'm curious about the identity of the person who loves me
Somebody loves me, I wish I knew,
I yearn to know who this person is
Who can heshe be worries me.
I'm anxious about the mystery surrounding this person
For every boygirl who passes me I shout,
I call out to every potential partner who crosses my path
