Somebody (feat. Kimbra, Gotye, Chris Lake & Sante Sansone)

Fisher's track 'Somebody (feat. Kimbra, Gotye, Chris Lake & Sante Sansone)' delves into the complex emotions that follow the end of a significant relationship. The lyrics poignantly capture the sense of addiction to sadness that often accompanies a breakup. The opening lines, 'You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness / Like resignation to the end, always the end,' suggest a familiarity with the melancholy that comes with the dissolution of a relationship. This sentiment is further explored as the narrator reflects on the confusion and relief that come with the end of a tumultuous partnership.

The song's narrative continues with a recounting of the emotional manipulation experienced during the relationship. Lines like 'Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over / But had me believing it was always something that I'd done' highlight the gaslighting and self-doubt that plagued the narrator. This introspection leads to a realization of the unhealthy dynamics that were present, and a desire to move past them. The chorus, with its powerful declaration, 'But you didn't have to cut me off / Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing,' underscores the pain of being treated as if the relationship never existed.

The repetition of 'Somebody / (I used to know)' serves as a haunting reminder of the person who once held significant importance in the narrator's life but is now just a memory. This repetition emphasizes the transformation of a once-intimate connection into a distant, almost unrecognizable past. The song captures the universal experience of heartbreak and the struggle to reconcile the past with the present, making it a relatable anthem for anyone who has navigated the end of a meaningful relationship.
