Something Just Like Lyrics

In This Article:


Something Just Like This is a melody by American electronic music pair The Chainsmokers and band Coldplay.

Something Just Like This is the collab between Chainsmokers and Coldplay. The track shows one's frailty of not being somebody who is all around as uncommon as the hero. The song is about a boy/man conversing with his girlfriend, telling her he doesn't feel that he is perfect for her. She tells him, she does not want a superhuman who will guarantee her a fairy tale like "happily after". She needs somebody whom she adores, who shows up for her. She needs what she as of now has with him (something very much like this). At some point, the lyrics show a conversation between son and mother about the superheroes and books he likes to read. The track length is almost about 4 minutes.

The Chainsmokers & Coldplay - Something Just Like This (Lyric)

Lyrics Meaning of Track:

In the first verse, the vocalist sings about "reading books of old / The legends and the myths. The vocalist is trying to compare himself with heroes of each era some are known as superheroes and gods. There is an interesting discussion to be had about how superheroes are the new "gods" of our era. Well, whether they're new or old, The Chainsmokers and Coldplay say in the something just like this lyricsall the heroes, new or old, are not like us they don’t feel real. Then it’s about the women’s narrative relationship, talking to her boyfriend or husband He doesn`t have to be superhuman or have special abilities or even sweep her off her feet into "fairytale bliss. "All she wants someone whom she can depend, can hug him. Who is willing to be with her through thick and thin. She needs somebody who is dependable, sincerely present, and tender.

I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spider-Man's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that lis

The chorus is obviously the point in listening to the song when dancing is supposed to be at its craziest and when emotions are supposed to be at their highest. In the second verse of Something Just Like This The Chainsmokers and Coldplay revisit the concept of verse 1 and further describe heroes and epic events that make the narrator feel inferior. The reference to Superman, of course, makes sense because he`s the strongest, ablest superhero of all.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
