Don’t think your dreams are sane
They’re taking over your life
I stuck to you but I found out
That you was the crazy kind
Now way inside your heart
Do you have a grain of love for me
‘Cause all I see is decadence
And the end of everything
You can bend over backwards
I ain’t gonna kiss your ring
Somebody
I looked into your eyes
And saw a real bad thing
I saw desires that burned in you
The need for power to be a king
And I saw that you would use this world
You know you might have to crawl
But it’s one of my eyes for one of yours
And you’ll never get no love at all

About Lyrics and Somebody by Fleetwood Mac

When you decide to study the lyrics to Somebody, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1973 song by Fleetwood Mac. Some of the lyrics to Somebody have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Fleetwood Mac and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Somebody if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Somebody" means the words set to the music of Somebody, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Fleetwood Mac. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Somebody and the lyrics to Somebody are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Fleetwood Mac who came here looking just for the lyrics to Somebody, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
