Someone Else

Tory Lanez's song 'Someone Else' delves into the emotional turmoil and coping mechanisms following a breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man struggling to come to terms with the end of a relationship. The repeated lines, 'We don't talk no more and it's hard to not call you my baby,' and 'You're fuckin' someone else,' highlight the pain and confusion of seeing a former lover move on. This sense of loss is compounded by the realization that the relationship is truly over, leaving the protagonist in a state of emotional disarray.

In response to this heartbreak, the protagonist turns to substances and parties as a form of escapism. The recurring mention of 'purple in the soda' refers to the use of lean, a recreational drug made from codeine cough syrup mixed with soda. This, along with the lines 'I'm about to call the bitches over' and 'I'm about to have me a party,' suggests a desperate attempt to numb the pain and fill the void left by the lost relationship. The use of drugs and casual encounters serves as a temporary distraction, but the underlying sadness and longing for the ex-lover remain evident throughout the song.

Tory Lanez's musical style, which often blends elements of R&B, hip-hop, and rap, is well-suited to convey the raw emotions and complex feelings associated with heartbreak. The repetitive nature of the lyrics emphasizes the cyclical thoughts and actions of someone trying to cope with loss. The song captures the essence of modern relationships and the often-destructive ways people deal with emotional pain. It serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges of moving on and the lengths to which one might go to escape the harsh reality of a broken heart.
