I been roaming around always looking down lyrics

I hope it’s gonna make you notice/
Someone like me…

In the strictest sense, “Someone Like Me” by Kings of Leon is an autobiographical song about a performer who is looking for love. More generally it is a song about an introvert who is initially attracted to an extrovert and wonders if she could be the missing piece in his life.

The narrator sees himself as a poet—you might think of him as a rockstar–but he thinks of himself as a boring guy who goes to bed early to maintain a touring schedule while trying to retain the energy to write new songs. He is lonely and looking for love.

Then he meets her. The eye-catching woman is seemingly everything he is not. She is adventurous, a partier and has countless lovers. He…goes to bed early. Apparently even Rockstar’s’ can have insecurities.

Sometimes our inner thoughts don’t pump us up, or necessarily align with reality. We see someone attractive, and we immediately think he or she is probably out of our league. But maybe…what if…she could be looking for someone like him?

The verse is strong, and the chorus is great. The song is driven by a solid rhythm and lead guitar that adds a sense of urgency to the song. The backing vocals are particularly well done—they blend well with the music and add a depth to an otherwise simple sounding rock song. The best part of the song is the end of the chorus. The pace slows and then accelerates into the great line: what if she could “notice…someone like me!?”

I’ve been roaming around,
Always looking down and all I see…
Painted faces fill the places I can’t reach.
You know that I could use somebody,
You know that I could use somebody.

Someone like you
And all you know and how you speak.
Countless lovers,
Undercover of the street.

You know that I could use somebody,
You know that I could use somebody,
Someone like you.

Off in the night while you live it up,
I’m off to sleep.
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat.

I hope it’s gonna make you notice,
I hope it’s gonna make you notice

Someone like me.
Someone like me,
Someone like me, somebody

Go and let it out
Someone like you, somebody.
Someone like you, somebody.
Someone like you, somebody.

I’ve been roaming around,
Always looking down and all I see.
