Someone (feat. Denitia)

Vanotek's song "Someone (feat. Denitia)" delves into the emotional turmoil and longing for stability in a relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is grappling with the remnants of a past love, seeking reassurance and a sense of belonging. The imagery of "falling apart of heaven" and "new lights" suggests a transition from a once-perfect relationship to an uncertain future. The streets being "torn to bright" could symbolize the harsh reality that has replaced the comforting darkness of ignorance. The protagonist finds solace only in dreams, as indicated by the line "Only when I close my eyes."

The repeated pleas for validation—"Tell me that you really want me," "Tell me that you really changed," and "Tell me that you made mistakes"—highlight a deep-seated need for trust and honesty. These lines reveal a desire for the partner to acknowledge their faults and commit to change, which is essential for rebuilding the relationship. The chorus, with its yearning for "Somewhere I can run, Someone I can trust, Someone I can hold on with all of my heart," encapsulates the core of the song: the search for a safe haven and a reliable partner.

The song also touches on the futility of clinging to the past, as expressed in the lines "I know it's useless but I can't forget, Days when you were on my side." This sentiment is further emphasized by the protagonist's frustration and confusion—"Don't know what to do, don't know what to do." The repetition of these feelings underscores the emotional struggle and the difficulty of moving on. Vanotek and Denitia's collaboration brings a hauntingly beautiful melody to these poignant lyrics, making "Someone" a relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the complexities of love and loss.
