Someone Else
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your eyes don't see me no more
When we kiss you're looking at the door
Your hands don't reach out for me
My friends say it's clear to see

You've got someone else on your mind
You've got someone else on your mind
I hear a name when your talking in your sleep
You see your best friend seven times a week
You changed your hairdo, changed your perfume
But not to please me I assume

You've got someone else on your mind
You've got someone else on your mind




You've got someone else on your mind
You've got someone else on your mnid

Overall Meaning

The Busters's song "Someone Else" is a poignant portrayal of a crumbling relationship. The singer is lamenting the fact that his partner no longer looks at him the way she used to. Her eyes don't meet his, and when they kiss, she seems distracted, looking at the door instead. He's also noticed that her hands don't reach out to him as they once did. He suspects that something is amiss and when he talks to his friends, they confirm his fears - his partner is thinking about someone else.


The second verse provides further evidence of his partner's infidelity. The singer can hear a name being whispered when she talks in her sleep, and she spends a lot of time with her best friend. He also notes that she's changed her perfume and her hairstyle but these changes are not meant to please him. It's clear that she has lost interest in the relationship and has moved on.


The singer's heartbreak and vulnerability are palpable in the melancholic melody and expressive vocals. The lyrics speak to the universal experience of love and loss, and the pain of betrayal. Ultimately, the song is a reminder that even the strongest relationships can falter, and it takes courage and honesty to move on.
