Crowded bars and supermodels
Looks exactly the way it did inside my head
When I dreamed about it
All the things I could live without
I need 'em now 'cause they're all around me
Only thing that I can't afford is to lose myself
Tryna be somebody, somebody
You should've known better
Than to listen to your heart again
People change with the weather
(You know, just know what I like)
I don't really like anybody
So don't tell me I'm like anybody else
You put it back together
Don't let it fall apart again

The Chainsmokers feat. Drew Love's song Somebody is a reflection on the superficiality and materialism of society, particularly in a town full of fancy cars, crowded bars, and supermodels. The singer notes that this town looks exactly the way they had imagined it in their head, but also realizes that they desire all the things that they could live without before. They feel that the only thing they cannot afford to lose is themselves, as they try to become somebody. However, they acknowledge that they don't really like anybody and don't want to be told that they are like anybody else. They also express reluctance to listen to their heart and blame their faults again, suggesting that they may have been hurt before.
The chorus repeats the desire to be somebody, and the singer notes that they don't really like anybody but want to avoid losing themselves in the process. The repetition of "somebody" emphasizes the importance of this desire for recognition or identity.
Overall, the lyrics of Somebody critique the pressure to conform to societal expectations and values, while also recognizing the pull of materialism and desire for recognition and identity.
