Ghost of the demon that I cast off, slasher
Fabulous crash that I can't stop, thrasher
All the pretty horses running backwards, rapture
I could use some time in a dream, in a forest, in the sea
Underwater we could breathe, yeah
I could use a vacay from my head, like I wish that I was dead
Do you love somebody else?
Don't apologize for things you really felt
Point out all of my mistakes
Why's the subject always change?
Tell me honestly
How could I love somebody else?
(How could I love somebody else?)
(How could I love somebody else?)
(How could I love somebody else?)
Too late, too drunk, listening to punk rock
Tryna spend this money like I got some, awesome
Bitter like a sinner with the gospel, awful
Tryna say I need you through a bottle, thoughtful
I could use some time in a dream, in a forest, in the sea
Underwater we could breathe, yeah
I could use a vacay from my head, like I wish that I was dead
Just so you could resurrect me
Do you love somebody else?
Don't apologize for things you really felt
Point out all of my mistakes
Why's the subject always change?
Tell me honestly
How could I love somebody else?
(How could I love somebody else?)
Here's to first impressions
With good intentions
Chasing what my heart was missing
Your worst incentives
Caught my attention
Will I ever learn my lesson?
Do you love somebody else?
Don't apologize for things you really felt
Point out all of my mistakes
Why's the subject always change?
Tell me honestly
How could I love somebody else?
(How could I love somebody else?)
The lyrics to "Love Somebody Else" by lovelytheband explore themes of self-doubt, confusion, and the struggle to love oneself while also trying to navigate relationships with others. The opening lines "Glass jaw, grave yard, slip and break your neck hard" paint a vivid image of vulnerability and fragility. The singer feels like they are constantly on edge, afraid of making mistakes or getting hurt. The references to a ghost and a slasher suggest that they are haunted by their own past and the mistakes they've made.
The chorus reflects the inner turmoil of the singer, expressing the desire for escape from their own thoughts and emotions. They yearn for a break from their own reality, fantasizing about being in a dream, forest, or underwater where they can temporarily forget their troubles. The line "Just so you could resurrect me" suggests that they are seeking someone else's validation and love as a way to find redemption or meaning in their life.
The second verse continues to delve into the singer's feelings of inadequacy and their attempt to drown their sorrows and seek temporary pleasure. However, they acknowledge the bitterness and emptiness of their actions, as shown in the line "Bitter like a sinner with the gospel, awful." It becomes clear that they are aware of the self-destructive patterns they are following.
The bridge of the song introduces the idea of first impressions and the singer's tendency to be drawn to the wrong people. Despite their good intentions, they keep repeating the same mistakes, suggesting a pattern of falling for people who may not be right for them.
Overall, "Love Somebody Else" explores the struggles of self-acceptance and the difficulty of maintaining healthy relationships when they are constantly doubting themselves. It reflects the universal yearning for love and validation, while also acknowledging the complexities and challenges that come with it.

Caught my attention
Captured my interest and focus
Will I ever learn my lesson?
Questioning whether I will ever understand and grow from my experiences
