Meaning of Love Somebody Else (String Version) lyrics by George Ezra

May 28, 2023

"Love Somebody Else" by George Ezra is a song that is about the feeling of being lost and giving up on oneself. The song tells the story of a person who has been searching for happiness but they are unable to find it. The lyrics suggest that the person has been looking for happiness in the wrong places, and they have reached a point where they feel like giving up on themselves.

The lyrics, "It's all for the taking, Happiness and warmth, It exists but not forever" indicate that happiness exists but it is temporary, and one must always be mindful of this impermanence. This notion is also supported by the line, "Else you wouldn't see it coming and it's been a while", which suggests that happiness often comes and goes unexpectedly.

The chorus of the song, "Love, love somebody else, 'Cause I'm giving up on myself," is about the person admitting that they are unable to find happiness on their own. They are acknowledging that they need to love somebody else because they are giving up on themselves. The verse, "And I bought an old Mercedes, And drove it down the motorway, And on every inch of that old car, babe, I spraypainted your name" seems to be about a past lover and the ways in which one may try to hold onto memories of them. The act of spray-painting the person's name on the car and then setting it on fire is symbolic of letting go of that relationship and moving on.

The bridge of the song repeats the phrase, "Nothing's gonna last forever", which reinforces the idea that everything in life is temporary. The song seems to be conveying a message of hopelessness but also acceptance; the acceptance that the narrator is unable to find happiness on their own but that everything in life is temporary, both good and bad.
