The Janes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief
Lord
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord, somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me, somebody to love?

(He works hard)
Everyday, I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm O.K., I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!





Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Overall Meaning

The Jane's lyrics in their song "Somebody" are a heartbreaking plea for someone to love. The singer is at a low point in their life and feels helpless, like they are falling apart. The song's opening lyrics are a cry for someone to help them, as they don't want to be alone anymore. They feel like they have given everything they have to others, with no reward in return. But they just can't cope alone anymore, and they need somebody to love in their life.


The second verse speaks of hard work and dedication, but the fear of going crazy and the pressure they feel from people around them. The singer is struggling to keep focused on their dreams and desires, and they are letting the doubts get to them. They are a prisoner of their own thoughts and emotions, and the only thing they want is to be free. The chorus comes back in again, repeating the plea for somebody to love, with more desperation in their voice each time.


Overall, the song is incredibly emotional and relatable to anyone who has felt alone, desperate, and hopeless at some stage in their life.

Bella and Llyra don't sing enough!!! Need more of their incredible voices!!ย 

@leogiulherm

Girls, please, stop staring to the cameras. Just sing as you really mean it and don't care if it's being recorded or not.
Also I know you all have great voices, so stop putting too much autotune, try to make the song as natural you can.
You girls have potential!
