Someone That Loves You

HONNE's 'Someone That Loves You' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the complexities of being attracted to someone who is already in a committed relationship. The song's lyrics poignantly capture the internal conflict and longing experienced by the narrator, who is deeply infatuated with someone they cannot have. The repeated refrain, 'You have someone that loves you,' serves as a painful reminder of the boundaries that cannot be crossed, despite the intense desire and emotional connection felt by both parties.

The song explores the duality of emotions, where the narrator is torn between their feelings and the reality of the situation. Lines like 'It's beautiful in a way we move, but what's a girl to do when you can't seem to choose?' highlight the struggle of wanting to be with someone who is emotionally unavailable. The metaphor of 'the comedown plays' suggests the inevitable disappointment and heartache that follows moments of closeness, as the narrator grapples with the futility of their desires.

HONNE's signature electronic-soul sound adds a layer of melancholy to the lyrics, enhancing the sense of longing and frustration. The repeated pleas of 'Don't touch me, boy I want you, not allowed to' underscore the tension between physical attraction and moral restraint. The narrator's patience and self-awareness, as expressed in lines like 'I'm waiting, and I'm patient, I'm deluded,' reveal a deep sense of self-sacrifice and emotional vulnerability. Ultimately, 'Someone That Loves You' is a poignant exploration of the pain and complexity of loving someone who belongs to another, capturing the bittersweet essence of unfulfilled love.
