Somebody To Love
Nikki Gil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's quite a lot since you left
But still I know nothing
That can release me from this
Sweet sense of longing
No one to fill in that space
But I'll tell you embrace
If I called you would you be there?
If I tried to, would you still care?
Chorus:
It's a long road when you're all on your own
It's a slow world
Getting through the day without
Somebody to hold
Since you left I don't know
What it's like anymore
Having someone to adore
Somebody to love
Did I desert you?
Or did I keep you too near?
I didn't mean to hurt you
Oh 'cause I still want you here
Repeat Refrain
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Someone who'll hold my hand
Someone who'll take a stand
Someone who'll let me know
That I'll never, ever, be alone
Repeat Chorus
The lyrics to Nikki Gil's song Somebody to Love express the profound feelings of loneliness and longing that come after a relationship ends. The singer realizes that it has been a long time since the person she loved left, and even though she has been thinking about it a lot, she still feels lost and unable to move on. She yearns for someone to take that person's place and to fill the emptiness in her life, but no one seems to fit the bill. The powerhouse vocals in this song show the depth of emotion that the singer feels and the pain that comes with not having somebody to love.
In the refrain, the singer asks a poignant question: "If I called you would you be there? If I tried to, would you still care?" This expresses the fear that many people feel after a break-up, wondering if their former partner will still be there for them if they need them. The chorus repeats the theme of longing for somebody to hold and adoring someone, and the bridge introduces the idea of finding someone who will never leave you. Overall, the song captures the essence of heartache and the search for love that persists even after a relationship has ended.

I've done some thinking
During my time alone, I've had a lot of thoughts
It's quite a lot since you left
It's been a long time since you left
But still I know nothing
Despite the time that's passed, I still don't know how to move on
That can release me from this
I haven't found a solution to my longing
Sweet sense of longing
A yearning feeling that's difficult to ignore
No one to fill in that space
There's no one to fill the void you left
But I'll tell you embrace
But I'll still hold on to the memory of your embrace

It's hard to get through the day when I don't have
Somebody to hold
Someone to share physical affection with
Since you left I don't know
Since you left, I haven't experienced or felt
What it's like anymore
What it feels like to have someone in my life
Having someone to adore
Someone to love and cherish
Somebody to love
Someone to share love and life with
Did I desert you?

Someone to communicate with and share feelings
That I'll never, ever, be alone
Someone to remind me that I'll always have their love and support
