Somehow.
Phony Ppl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Paranoid as hell
There′s nothing I can do
Yesterday's tomorrow
My dreams are never true
But somehow
I keep on lovin′ you
'Cause something happened that
No one can help
I broke out of my shell
Just to find that
That I don't belong
I broke out of my shell
Just to find that
I′m living by myself
Paranoid as hell
There′s nothing I can do
But somehow
I'll keep on lovin′ you
I keep on lovin' you
Oh oooh Oh oooh oooh
Lovin′ you
Oh oooh Oh oooh oooh
Lovin' you
Oh oooh Oh oooh
I keep on Lovin′ you
Oh oooh Oh Oh Oh
Lovin' you
Oh oooh Oh oooh oooh
Lovin' you
Oh oooh Oh oooh oooh
Lovin′ you
Oh oooh Oh oooh
I keep on lovin′ you
Oh oooh Oh Oh Oh
The lyrics of Phony Ppl's song "Somehow" describe a sense of confused emotional attachment. The first verse opens up by describing the singer as living alone and paranoid, indicating that there is a sense of unease and dissatisfaction with their current situation. The second line reinforces this, hinting at a sense of helplessness and a lack of control. The third line identifies the source of this feeling, suggesting that the singer's past experiences have led them to a disappointing present. It's as if they're trapped in a cycle of hopelessness, symbolized by the phrase "yesterday's tomorrow."
The chorus adds further nuance to the lyrics by emphasizing the idea of an emotional connection that has persisted despite these difficult circumstances. The phrase "somehow I keep on loving you" implies that this attachment is something the singer hasn't been able to shake, despite everything else that's going on in their life. The repetition of this refrain seems to suggest that it is the one constant in a life marked by uncertainty and confusion. There is a sense that the singer is both comforted and troubled by this connection, as though it brings both solace and distress.

Living by myself
I am alone in this world
Paranoid as hell
I am anxious and worried all the time
There's nothing I can do
I feel helpless and powerless
Yesterday's tomorrow
My future seems bleak and uncertain
My dreams are never true
I don't achieve what I aim for
But somehow
Nevertheless
I keep on lovin' you
I continue to have feelings for you
Emotions are attached
My feelings are invested
'Cause something happened that
Due to an event that occurred
No one can help
Nobody can assist me
I broke out of my shell
I put myself out there
Just to find that
Only to discover
That I don't belong
I don't fit in
I keep on lovin' you
I continue to have feelings for you
Oh oooh Oh oooh oooh
