R.I.O Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Knew that it was wrong the first night I met you
When I sneaked back into bed and you said, "I love you"
Up in this house, blood runs cold
Secret codes, are all we know

We gotta tear it all down, set it on fire
Watch it burn to the ground, it kills us just a little
But a little's alright, 'cause, oh, it ain't forever

You'll find someone, find someone who loves you better
Yeah, you'll find someone, find someone who loves you better
Babe, you'll find the one, you'll find someone

Your friends have always liked me but I told you that you shouldn't listen
'Cause picking wings off of angels, has always been my religion
You been stickin' 'round far too long
And I've been runnin' 'round and it just feels wrong

We gotta tear it all down, set it on fire
Watch it burn to the ground, it kills us just a little
But a little's alright, 'cause, oh, it ain't forever
You'll find someone, find someone who loves you better
Yeah, you'll find someone, find someone who loves you better
Babe, you'll find the one, you'll find someone

We gotta tear it all down, set it on fire
Watch it burn to the ground, it kills us just a little
But a little's alright, 'cause, oh, it ain't forever
You'll find someone, find someone who loves you better
Whoa, babe, you'll find someone

Yeah, someone who could love you better
Whoa, babe, you'll find the one, you'll find someone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of R.I.O.'s song "Someone" express a complex relationship dynamic, where the singer knows that the relationship is wrong but cannot resist the other person's love. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that they knew from the first night they met that the relationship was "wrong." However, they are caught up in the other person's affection, as evidenced by the line "When I sneaked back into bed and you said, 'I love you.'" The second verse builds upon this dynamic, with the singer acknowledging that they are not a good person and that they have been "runnin' 'round" while the other person has been "stickin' 'round far too long." The chorus serves as a release from this tension, with the singer acknowledging that they need to let the relationship go and allow the other person to find someone who loves them better.

The overall effect of the lyrics is to create a sense of conflicting emotions and internal struggle. The singer knows that they are not good for the other person and that the relationship is doomed to fail, but they cannot resist the other person's love. The use of imagery, such as the "secret codes" and the metaphor of "picking wings off angels," serves to underscore the sense of forbidden passion.
