Somebody That I Used To Know
"Somebody That I Used To Know lyrics Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love and it's an ache I still remember You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end Always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well you said that we would still be friends But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened And that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough You didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records And then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I'd done And I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know... But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened And that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough You didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records And then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know I used to know That I used to know Somebody..."
Been listening to this song day and night these few days. Today, i've been listening to this song on repeat for the whole day.
The video shows the beginning and end of their relationship, and he sings the end of it. He stands there naked, alone, and the walls became painted just like a the blooming relationship. He becomes painted, becoming a part of it. Then it shows her, already painted as his partner. They fought and she realized that she doesn't want this and strips herself of the relationship by loosing the painting and he looks at her in sadness of it's loss.
To my understanding, a relationship can be divided into 6 stages:
Stage 1- The sparks
U see someone, got attracted to a certain charm of the person and developed a sense of attachment. At the same time, the other party expressed the same kind of attraction. They exchange texts, smiling at the texts like a moron. 2 contented morons.
Stage 2- The honeymoon
The 2 person decides to be together and have more time to spent with each other. They never get sick seeing each other 24/7 and more than willing to spend their entire span of life with his/her partner. They make promises, they hug, they kiss. They thought so strongly that they'll never part.
Stage 3- The pickings
After a period of time, affection starts to fade. Its like love acts like a curtain to cover the flaws and shortcomings of the person. Once love starts to diminish bit by bit, the flaws and shortcomings start to reveal and slowly becomes clearer and clearer to the other party. And the more the flaws and shortcomings begin to show, the more love disappear- its a vicious cycle. Everything just start to turn sour. All negative feelings start to build and u start to get sick seeing the other person. No matter what the person says, what the person does all seems so wrong. Everything about the partner begin to seem so irritating or intolerable. Also, promises are broken too.
Stage 4- The quarrel
Finally, the couple cannot stand the negative feelings that built up and a quarrel break out. This is the turning point: If the couple managed to talk out the issues, they may revert back to stage 2 (meaning they'll still be chances that they'll proceed to stage 4 again as time passes). If not, either they'll quarrel more frequently or they'll start to ignore each other. In either way, its going to deteriorate the relationship further.
Stage 5- The end
If the couple are trapped in stage 4 for a very long period of time, one party (or sometimes, both) couldn't take it anymore and decides to end this relationship to save themselves (for the sake of himself/hersef, or for the other party) from the misery. They may treat each other like strangers cos they hate the sight of each other. Some say, they'll still be friends. But deep in their hearts, they know that everything will not be the same anymore.
Stage 6- The rebirth/ The fallen
This stage doesnt apply for everybody, cos some just died at stage 5, so they cant proceed on to this stage. If some are lucky enough, they let go of whatever that they experienced in the relationship and start a new life. Perhaps, they can still fall in love again. For those who cant get out of it, they start to despise the world. They may out-cast themselves or some.. take revenge.
Above is just my pure opinion about relationship, based on my experience. Its not an absolute.
What are the chances of 2 person to fall for each other and get together? I cannot imagine how much effort and fate it is to take for the 2 person to be together. But when they break up/quarrel, they act like strangers. How sad that is.
What about the love that they once had? What about the promises?
I cannot understand.
