Someone You Loved

In 'Someone You Loved,' ROSÉ delves into the depths of heartbreak and the struggle to cope with the absence of a loved one. The song opens with a sense of despair, as the singer feels like they are 'going under' and fears there is no one to save them. This sets the tone for a narrative of emotional turmoil, where the all-or-nothing nature of their past relationship has left them feeling unmoored and desperate for solace.

The lyrics poignantly express the need for connection and comfort, with lines like 'I need somebody to heal, somebody to know, somebody to have, somebody to hold.' These simple yet powerful words highlight the universal human desire for companionship and the pain of its absence. The repetition of 'Now the day bleeds into nightfall, and you're not here to get me through it all' underscores the relentless passage of time and the enduring nature of the singer's grief.

ROSÉ's delivery of the song adds an extra layer of vulnerability, as she conveys the raw emotion of someone who has been deeply hurt. The metaphor of 'pulling the rug' suggests a sudden and unexpected loss, leaving the singer feeling exposed and unprotected. The recurring theme of letting one's guard down only to be hurt again speaks to the difficulty of moving on from a significant relationship. Ultimately, 'Someone You Loved' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring impact of a broken heart.
