Somebody Wants You
Oscar and the Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tap, tap on the ceiling
Another night with this feeling
I really need you to talk to me
To me
Heavy heart, heavy breathing
Or can a blood rush be healing
I'm really stuck on you like clover
Oh

And now I'm trying to get over and over and over you
Tryna get over and over and over you
Told me forever, you said it would be you and I
You and I

I don't know how to be somebody without you
I don't know how to be somebody without you
It's pain in my chest, 'cause you're careless
And now your soul stuck in my head
I don't know how to be somebody, be somebody
Be somebody without you

So what you said, was all I knew
Doing me harm was all I found in you
And, baby, you left me and left without notice
Well, I noticed
You are my highlight coming through
Tryna believe, but it was never true
Did I be a heart, be a love, be a star
The sun in your eyes

And now I'm trying to get over and over and over you
Tryna get over and over and over you
Told me forever, you said it would be you and I
You and I

I don't know how to be somebody without you
I don't know how to be somebody without you
It's pain in my chest, 'cause you're careless
And now your soul stuck in my head
I don't know how to be somebody, be somebody
Be somebody without you

Be somebody without you
(Be somebody without you)

You're a heartbreak, baby
And I noticed too
It's getting so much harder lately
To move on to something new
I don't know how to be somebody without you
I don't know how to be somebody without you

See, I don't know how to be somebody without you
I don't know how to be somebody without you
It's pain in my chest, 'cause you're careless
And now your soul stuck in my head
I don't know how to be somebody, be somebody
Be somebody without you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Somebody Wants You" by Oscar and the Wolf is a song about a man who is trying to come to terms with his conflicted feelings towards a woman. The song starts with the singer admitting that he is unsure of what is on his mind but acknowledges that he wants her for sure. However, he also realizes that their love is no longer genuine in its core, and he cannot love her anymore. He then accuses her of being typical and critical, saying that their love has broken its syllable.


The lyrics reveal the emotional turmoil that the singer is going through as he comes to terms with his feelings. He is torn between his desire for the woman and his realization that their love has turned into a shallow affair. The lyrics, "Using me for pleasing you / Can't you see it's for me too," suggests that there is a mutual dependency between them. However, while the woman is content with the arrangement, the singer is not.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's desire for the woman to move on, as he wants to break free from the relationship. The repetition of the phrase "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh" and "Woah, woah, woah, woah" emphasizes the urgency and frustration he feels.


Line by Line Meaning

This may take a little time
I need to think things over before I can respond


Wondering what's on my mind
You are curious about my thoughts and feelings


Baby I am not to sure
I am uncertain of my emotions toward you


But damnit you know what it's for
You know that we are using each other for pleasure


Using me for pleasing you
You are only interested in your own satisfaction


Can't you see it's for me too
I am also seeking pleasure from this relationship


Knowing you just want to stay
You want to continue this relationship


But lady I just gotta say
However, I must be honest with you


Oh, baby
Expressing affection for you


I want you for sure
I desire you


But love down it's core
But at the core of love


I cannot love you no more
I cannot continue to love you


Why you so typical
Why are you so predictable in your behavior


Our love so critical
Our love is in a fragile state


Our love broke that syllable
Our love has been destroyed


Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ohh
Vocalization conveying emotions


Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah woah
Vocalization conveying emotions


Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, won't you
Asking for agreement or understanding


Move, ooh, ooh, ooh
Asking you to leave or change your behavior

Watch the nightfall
Thinner than darkness, turn to me
Watch your own face
Take human darkness to my place
Of course so you might breathe
I'll take you with me
So take it off
Don't make it with you, love
Don't break the dice

But at least you're not bitter
Somebody wants you now
Control the heartbeat
Take me under
Focus on the breathing
Don't watch my heart
Take me under
Show me on the backseat
You give it to me slow
It's you and I
I'm not making you choose, love
Don't make me bite

But at least you're not bitter

Watch the nightfall
Thinner than darkness, turn to me
Watch your own face
Take human darkness to my place
Of course so you might breathe
I'll take you with me
So take it off
Don't make it with you, love
Don't break the dice
But at least you're not bitter

O kadar harika duygular hissettiren bir şarkı ki bende oluşturduğu duygular sıradanlaşmasın, sıkılmayayım diye sürekli dinlemekten kaçınıyorum 7 yıl oldu ve her defasında aynı his aynı heyecan ile tekrardan buradayım bu frekans bambaşka

Bütün haftanın iş yoğunluğunu ve stresini atmak için yıllardır sürdürmüş olduğum hobimi pazar günleri gerçekleştirmek üzere sabahın beşin de kalkıp dalış yapmak için aracımla denize doğru yola koyulurum. hava ne kadar soğuk olursa olsun sabahın beşinde denize doğru yol alırken aracımın camlarıyla birlikte BU ŞARKIYI SON SES AÇIP ciğerlerime sabahın ilk çiğ kokusunu doldururum. Yol boyunca bu şarkıyı tekrar tekrar dinler DERİN SULARA Konsantre olurum.. sahile vardığımda ise gün doğumuna bakar nazlıca güneşin doğuşunu izlerim ve yine bu şarkıyla birlikte güneşin ilk ışıklarının denize yansımasını doyasıya izler kendimi mavi derinliklere bırakırım... Bu çok farklı bir müzik çok farklı bir tarz...

@Musa1527

tibel gülkan yaşadığın kafayı her türlü kimyasalı denedim yaşıyamadım sen bir müzik ile başarmışsın tebrik ediyorum

@enginfirol
