somebody to love
Wasp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know the joy within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You Better find someone to love
Find somebody to love
Find somebody to love
When the dawn is rose, they are dead
Yes and you're mine, you're so full of red
Your eyes, I say you eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in you head, baby
I'm afraid you don't know where it is
Tears are running
Running along down your breast
And your friends baby
They treat you like a guest
The song "Somebody To Love" by Wasp is a plea for love and companionship in a world where truth and joy are hard to find. The lyrics explore the idea that when the truth is revealed as lies, it can destroy the joy inside a person. The chorus repeats the phrase "Don't you want somebody to love" as a way of emphasizing the importance of finding someone to share life with. The singer urges the listener to find someone to love before it's too late.
The verses of the song describe the pain and loneliness the singer sees in the listener's life. The line "When the dawn is rose, they are dead" suggests that the listener is surrounded by death and darkness. The singer also notes that the listener's eyes may look like someone else's, but their mind is lost and confused. The final line of the verse, "Tears are running, running along down your breast," evokes a sense of despair and hopelessness.
Overall, the song is a powerful meditation on the human need for love and connection in a world full of pain and confusion.

God I love every cover WASP has ever done. Blackie always add such a unique touch. I've always wondered what Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood would sound like coming out of Blackie's vocals and Chris Holmes' guitar.

Their original songs are already so damn badass as it is but W.A.S.P. is definitely one of the best bands at doing cover songs that there's ever been ! They're a classic hard rock song's best friend if there ever was one!Scream if you like it!!!
