SOME BODY
ionnalee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could see your face
Like somebody that I used to know
If I could say your name
And my heartbeat in a steady flow

Comes and goes like that
Nowhere seems like home
(Ooh)
And we remember the good times
Leaving splendour at all times
See the sun on the new sky
(Ooh, goodbye)
Wave our memories goodbye
With the end of humankind
Make it rain on the blue sky
(Oh-ooh)

Ch-ka
Hey!

Yeah, why won't you play my game?
Love is sadness of tomorrow, ah
You just blew out the flame
Come on bring the age of sorrow, ah

Ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh)
Ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh)
Ooh

(Ooh)
And we remember the good times
Leaving splendour at all times
See the sun on the new sky
(Ooh, goodbye)
Wave our memories goodbye
With the end of humankind
Make it rain on the blue sky
(Ooh)

Why won't you let me talk 'bout the sadness of tomorrow?
(Oh-ooh)

Yeah, if I could see your face, huh
Like somebody that I used to know, ah
If I could say your name, hmm




And my heartbeat in a steady flow
Why won't you let me talk 'bout the sadness of tomorrow?

Overall Meaning

The song "SOME BODY" by ionnalee is a nostalgic ode to a past lover. The lyrics are filled with longing and bittersweet memories of what once was. The singer yearns to see their ex-lover's face one more time, to say their name and feel their heartbeat in a steady flow. The singer is also caught in a state of limbo, feeling like nowhere is home, as the memories of the past linger on. The chorus provides a ray of hope amidst the sadness, as the singer remembers the good times and bids farewell to the memories with the end of humankind. The final plea of the singer is to let them talk about the sadness of tomorrow, possibly hoping to find closure or a way to move on from the past.


The lyrics of "SOME BODY" are somewhat ambiguous and open to interpretation. On one hand, the song could be interpreted as a tale of lost love, where the singer is reminiscing about a relationship that has ended. On the other hand, the song can be seen as a metaphor for the end of a phase in one's life. The singer is bidding farewell to the memories of the past and accepting that everything must come to an end eventually. The song can also be seen as a commentary on the fleeting nature of life and relationships with the chorus indicating the acceptance of the inevitability of change.


Line by Line Meaning

If I could see your face
If only I could catch a glimpse of your face, just like I used to in the past


Like somebody that I used to know
It feels like we've drifted apart and I don't know you anymore


If I could say your name
I wish I could call out your name again, just like before


And my heartbeat in a steady flow
I long to feel my heartbeat steady and calm again like it used to when I was with you


Comes and goes like that
It's unpredictable, the way these emotions ebb and flow


Nowhere seems like home
Everywhere I look, I feel lost and out of place


And we remember the good times
We look back and reminisce about the happy memories we shared


Leaving splendour at all times
We always tried to make moments special and memorable


See the sun on the new sky
We hope for a bright and hopeful future


Ooh, goodbye
It's time to say goodbye, with a hint of sadness in our hearts


Wave our memories goodbye
We bid farewell to the memories we made together


With the end of humankind
Even if the world were to come to an end, those memories will still exist and live on


Make it rain on the blue sky
Let it pour, let the emotions flow, like rain on a clear blue sky


Hey!
Hey!, listen to me


Yeah, why won't you play my game?
Why won't you cooperate with me and give me what I want?


Love is sadness of tomorrow, ah
Love can bring about pain and sorrow in the future


You just blew out the flame
You extinguished the fire that burned between us


Come on bring the age of sorrow, ah
You're making things worse, bringing about a new era of sadness and pain


Ooh, ooh
The emotional pain and turmoil is overwhelming


Why won't you let me talk 'bout the sadness of tomorrow?
Why won't you listen to me when I want to talk about the potential pain and heartache that could come in the future?

Eli Silva

Is she talking to us in this song? Like the approach that she did in "Everyone afraid to be forgotten" when she did deconstruct the "essence" of a famous person? And her career?

Eli Silva

Also, thanks for the lyrics!

Juan Cainelli

@Eli Silva Totally! She always conveys a direct message to her public on her songs! She knows us very well

CANADAbeston

She's speaking to LORD BAAL I believe but it may be that she's on drugs and she's gimmick happy

Ravell Medeiros
