Something Just Like Lyrics


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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
