Somebody To Love
Twilley Dwight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blowing since I don't know when
Ever since the child was born
Holding on to something warm
Somebody to love
Somebody that you can depend on
Some place in the sun
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Nothing's the same inside
When there's nobody there by your side
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Stand by you
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
The rest of your life
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
Wherever you go
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
It don't matter if you want
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
Think about what won't forget
Everyone that ever was
Trying to find that piece of love
Somebody to love
Somebody that you can depend on
Some place in the sun
One feeling there's no denying
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
It gotta be somehow
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
To wave goodbye
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
To hold you tight
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
For the jealous mind
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
To let you go
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
Break your heart
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
Spend your money on
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
Make you cry
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
Whenever, let go
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
Doesn't matter if you want
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
When he just keeps going on
(Somebody to love, somebody to love)
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
Somebody to love
The lyrics to Twilley Dwight's song Somebody To Love explore the universal human desire for love and companionship. The opening lines liken the search for love to a paper blowing in the wind, symbolizing the feeling of being lost and aimless without direction. The lyrics then shift to the idea of finding warmth in someone else's company, specifically, finding someone to love and depend on. This search is described as a never-ending quest, with the line "Trying to find that piece of love" conveying the idea that the search for love can feel like an eternal pursuit.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of having someone to love, someone whose presence provides a sense of security and happiness. The line "Nothing's the same inside when there's nobody there by your side" highlights the loneliness and emptiness that can come from being without a companion. The bridge of the song speaks to the many different ways in which love can manifest - standing by someone for the rest of your life, holding them tight, waving goodbye, or making them cry. Ultimately, the song suggests that finding somebody to love is a deeply personal and important undertaking that can bring immense joy and fulfillment to one's life.
