I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you, and all you know, and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
I've been roaming around,
Always looking down at all I see
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you, and all you know, and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
I've been roaming around,
Always looking down at all I see

What a tit!!!!
I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach
He´s passing through a prostitute lane, just looking at the girls,
"painted faces fill the places I can´t reach" i interpret like he´s had terrible luck
with a girlfriend or with women in general, and the "painted faces" of these girls fill in the place of a good real relationship wich is what he wants but haven´t been able to get. So he is recurring to a prostitute to get something as close as it can get for him.
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
He needs someone to be with him, anyone.
Someone like you, and all you know, and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
One of the prostitutes catches his attention.
"Countless lovers under cover of the street" She´s a prostitute, countless lovers then, and under cover of the street is because there is where she works.
Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
You work at night, when everyone else is sleeping,
Working hard to make your clients believe that you are giving something more than just sex to them. Telling them nice things, making them feel like you particularly like them more than just a costumer. (...the poet and the beat)
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me, somebody
I hope that even though, you notice that I´m really special.
He hopes that she doesn´t fake those thing with him, that she really care
for him, cause that´s what he really really needs.
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
I've been roaming around,
Always looking down at all I see
That´s my interpretation.
Use Somebody by Kings of leon (Won)
Halo by Beyoncé Knowles
I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas
Poker Face by Lady Gaga
You Belong with Me by Taylor Swift
2010 nominees wasn't that strong but they deserved it
He could "use" somebody to keep it real with him, somebody that understands, that isn't superficial and doesn't wear a painted face (some chick he likes?)
He thinks she is smart and he admires the fact the she can relate to the way he feels and he is shy and subtle so he hopes she notices that he writes lyrics and music to impress her (with all you know and how you speak, waging wars to shake the poets and the beats)
He hopes she notices.....
When I first heard it I thought;
That he was lonely, just wandering through life, seeing people and just going through life to finish it.
And then he's remembering somebody, and thinking he could really use somebody like you in his life. Like he needs someone to be there with him, and that all he thinks about is that person. But then maybe he or she just doesn't even bother noticing him. And that makes everything worse because he just WANTS to be noticed. He wants someone like HIM(anything could be meant by this) to be noticed by a person he thinks is really special. And he just feels bad that he wont have that persons attention because it means everything to him.
The question was: what does this song mean to you?
"I really like this song."
"me too..."
"I love Caleb!"
"I like Kings Of Leon"
Now I can expect any Kings of Leon concert to be full of people with IQ's less than 10.
I won't even bother to say what this song means to me. There is no point to sharing anything with morons.
FUCK YOU.
:)
that felt better
