The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Somebody That I Used to Know" by the artist "Walk Off The Earth"

The song "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Walk Off The Earth explores the aftermath of a painful breakup and the bitter feelings left behind. The lyrics depict the narrator reminiscing about a time when the relationship seemed idyllic, but beneath the surface lay loneliness and a sense of fakeness.

He acknowledges his addiction to sadness and the inevitability of the ending. However, what hurts him most is how his ex-lover pretends their relationship never happened, completely erasing him from her life and memories.

The narrator feels betrayed and humiliated by her indifference, especially when she asks friends to pick up her things and changes her number. He tries to convince himself that he doesn't need her love, but her coldness and disregard sting more than he cares to admit.

The repeating phrase "Now you're just somebody that I used to know" emphasizes the bitterness of the loss and the narrator's attempt to move on by relegating his former love to a distant memory.

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

No 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 you're just somebody that I used to know

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

And 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

Somebody

I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody

I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to know

That I used to know

I used to know

Somebody
