Like Someone in Love
Ralph Lalama Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Bump into things like someone in love.
Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
The lyrics of the Ralph Lalama Quartet's song "Like Someone in Love" express the emotions of someone who has fallen deeply in love. The singer describes how he has been affected by his love, such as finding himself staring at the stars and hearing guitars as if he is in a romantic movie. He also admits that he is astounded by the things he does in the presence of his beloved, and how he walks as if he has wings and bumps into things as if he is floating. The singer also confesses that every time he looks at his lover, he feels weak and powerless like a limp glove, unable to resist the power of his love.
The lyrics of the song are simple but elegantly crafted, expressing the raw emotions of love through metaphors and imagery. The use of stars and guitars as poetic symbols of romanticism is a familiar trope in love songs, but Lalama elevates it with his smooth and soulful delivery. He captures the essence of falling in love, the sense of exhilaration and vulnerability that comes with it, and the way it transforms a person's perceptions of the world. Through the singer's confession that he feels "like someone in love," Lalama invites the listener to experience their own sense of romantic longing and possibility.
Line by Line Meaning
Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Recently, I have been spending my time staring at the stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
The sound of guitars makes me feel as though I am in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Occasionally, my own actions surprise me
Mostly whenever you're around me.
Especially in your presence
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
In recent times, I walk with a light, almost floating-like motion
Bump into things like someone in love.
I am easily distracted and may bump into things due to being infatuated
Each time I look at you,
Every single time I glance in your direction
I'm limp as a glove,
I completely surrender and become powerless
And feeling like someone in love.
Overwhelmed by emotions of being in love
