Something Just Like Lyrics

In This Article:


Something Just Like This is a melody by American electronic music pair The Chainsmokers and band Coldplay.

Something Just Like This is the collab between Chainsmokers and Coldplay. The track shows one's frailty of not being somebody who is all around as uncommon as the hero. The song is about a boy/man conversing with his girlfriend, telling her he doesn't feel that he is perfect for her. She tells him, she does not want a superhuman who will guarantee her a fairy tale like "happily after". She needs somebody whom she adores, who shows up for her. She needs what she as of now has with him (something very much like this). At some point, the lyrics show a conversation between son and mother about the superheroes and books he likes to read. The track length is almost about 4 minutes.

The Chainsmokers & Coldplay - Something Just Like This (Lyric)

Lyrics Meaning of Track:

In the first verse, the vocalist sings about "reading books of old / The legends and the myths. The vocalist is trying to compare himself with heroes of each era some are known as superheroes and gods. There is an interesting discussion to be had about how superheroes are the new "gods" of our era. Well, whether they're new or old, The Chainsmokers and Coldplay say in the something just like this lyricsall the heroes, new or old, are not like us they don’t feel real. Then it’s about the women’s narrative relationship, talking to her boyfriend or husband He doesn`t have to be superhuman or have special abilities or even sweep her off her feet into "fairytale bliss. "All she wants someone whom she can depend, can hug him. Who is willing to be with her through thick and thin. She needs somebody who is dependable, sincerely present, and tender.

I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spider-Man's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that lis

The chorus is obviously the point in listening to the song when dancing is supposed to be at its craziest and when emotions are supposed to be at their highest. In the second verse of Something Just Like This The Chainsmokers and Coldplay revisit the concept of verse 1 and further describe heroes and epic events that make the narrator feel inferior. The reference to Superman, of course, makes sense because he`s the strongest, ablest superhero of all.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
