Moby found commercial and critical success with his fifth album Play (1999), which, after receiving little recognition, became an unexpected global hit in 2000 after each track was licensed to films, television shows, and commercials. It remains his highest selling album with 12 million copies sold. Its seventh single, "South Side", featuring Gwen Stefani, remains his only one to appear on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 14. Moby followed Play with albums of varied styles including electronic, dance, rock, and downtempo music, starting with 18 (2002), Hotel (2005), and Last Night (2008). His later albums saw him explore ambient music, including the almost four-hour release Long Ambients 1: Calm. Sleep. (2016). Moby continues to record and release albums; his twenty-first studio album, Resound NYC, was released in May 2023.
In addition to his music career, Moby is known for his veganism and support for animal rights and humanitarian aid. He was the owner of TeaNY, a vegan cafe in Manhattan, and Little Pine, a vegan restaurant in Los Angeles, and organized the vegan music and food festival Circle V. He is the author of four books, including a collection of his photography and two memoirs: Porcelain: A Memoir (2016) and Then It Fell Apart (2019).

Someone to Love
Moby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like no-one else
It came in now, a professional
Oh, it's over
Oh, it's over
Oh, it's over now
Well i, fall in a sleep and I let go
Make me a being without a soul
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love
I was on my knees
In front of her
When I feel like going down I know it's everywhere
Oh, it's over
Oh, it's over
Oh, it's over now
You make me another hell
I can't live but I'm no-one else
Somebody live my life I've got to know what dead men know
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love
Like I said before
It's over again
And no-one left but me and
And no-one lifted me no
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love
In Moby's song "Someone To Love," the lyrics depict a sense of loneliness and desperation for connection. The singer is cold and wet, feeling isolated in their own feelings. They long for someone to love, someone to share their life with, and someone to make them feel alive. The repetition of "Oh, it's over" implies a sense of finality, perhaps a relationship that has ended or a feeling of being stuck in a rut.
The line "Make me a being without a soul" suggests a feeling of emptiness, as though the singer's soul is missing and they are searching for someone to fill the void. The repeated line "Somebody live my life, I've got to know what dead men know" hints at a desire to feel truly alive, to experience life to the fullest, and to understand what it means to be human.
The second verse continues the theme of desperation for love and connection, with the singer on their knees in front of someone they seem to idolize. However, the repeated line "Oh, it's over" suggests that even this idealized love is fleeting and doomed to fail. The ending of the song echoes the chorus with the singer repeating the desire for "Someone to love."
Overall, "Someone To Love" is a poignant song about the struggle to find meaning and connection in life. Moby's haunting vocals and the simple yet effective lyrics create an emotional resonance that many listeners can relate to.
Line by Line Meaning
I was cold and wet
I was feeling miserable and alone
Like no-one else
In a way that no one else could understand
It came in now, a professional
Suddenly, an expert at love entered my life
Oh, it's over
The pain and loneliness is finally gone
Well i, fall in a sleep and I let go
I can finally relax and not worry anymore
Make me a being without a soul
I want to escape the pain of being human
Somebody live my life I've got to know what dead men know
I want someone else to experience my life so I can understand what death might be like
I was on my knees
I was humbled and vulnerable
In front of her
In front of someone I cared deeply for
When I feel like going down I know it's everywhere
When I'm feeling depressed, it seems like there's no escape
You make me another hell
You're causing me more pain and misery
I can't live but I'm no-one else
I feel like I can't go on, but I can't be anyone else
Like I said before
As I've mentioned earlier
And no-one left but me and
I'm alone now
And no-one lifted me no
No one has helped me
Someone to love
I need love
Someone to love
I need love
Someone to love
I need love
Someone to love
I need love
Someone to love
I need love
Someone to love
I need love
Someone to love
I need love
Someone to love
I need love

I have to admit that after listening to music since early seventies, of all the good artists I have heard, listened to and liked, Moby is very likely the one whom I rate the best.
