I'm gonna do another song this week - it's been a couple weeks since I decided to analyze a song. Another Nickelback song, Gotta Be Somebody, to be precise.
This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing.
I'll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we´re meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holdin' my own breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There's gotta be somebody for me like that.
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.
Tonight, out on the street out in the moonlight
And ****it this feels too right
It's just like déjà vu
Me standin' here with you
So I'll be holdin' my own breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There's gotta be somebody for me like that.
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.
You can't give up!
Lookin' for that diamond in the rough
You never know but when it shows up
Make sure you're holdin' on
Cause it could be the one
The one you're waiting on
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There has gotta be somebody for me
Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.
How many of us actually WANT to live a lonely existence, without friends, love, or support? Human beings are social creatures. Even the most introverted person has some friends and family that they spend time with. This song illustrates one of the deepest desires of the human heart - to be loved.
We all want someone to be there for us, no matter what happens. Someone to share our hopes, dreams, and fears with. Someone to love us, even at our worst. Someone to hold us and tell us that they love us, even when we're at our most unloveable. Someone to love us even when we can't love ourselves.
None of us is perfect. We all have failed. But we can continue to love.
The best example of this love?
"This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends." -John 15:12-13
