Gotta Be Somebody

Sometime last week, I had a chat with my sis(Kak Long), we were talking about some random stuffs and then we get into music, which we often does.

I was showing her the new Creed's song, and then she asked me to look for songs that have motivational quality to its' lyrics like Bon Jovi's It's My Life & Nickelback's Gotta Be Somebody.

I've known the Nickelback's song for a while now, even learned the guitar parts, which is actually quite simple. Real mainstream stuff. Really catchy. But I've never really looked into the lyrics before.

Yesterday, when I had some free time, I remembered this song(Nickelback - Gotta Be Somebody), and decided to look into the lyrics and finding out why my sister likes this song so much.

First time through... I'm freakin' in love with the song! I liked the song before but just as I like any other catchy songs.

I'm maybe not a good interpreter in terms of songs' lyrics and stuff but at least I'm sure I know what I like. For some, maybe this song doesn't mean much, it's just another love song written for a rock tune. The lyrics for this song straight forward, nothing fancy, but its easy to understand for a change. I can easily relate to the song, which I rarely do. And thus, this song has become one of the few songs that makes me feel touched.

Here's the song:

This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing, I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting, will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holding my own breath, right up 'til the end
Until that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And damn it, this feels too right
It's just like deja vu, me standing here with you
So I'll be holding my breath, could this be the end?
Is it that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

You can't give up (when you're looking for)
A diamond in the rough ('cause you never know)
When it shows up (make sure you're holding on)
Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, oh

Nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
