In the realm of popular music, there exists a compelling narrative that explores the human desire for authenticity and simplicity in relationships. The song's protagonist expresses feelings of inadequacy when comparing himself to mythical heroes and comic book characters, signifying a struggle with societal expectations of masculinity and heroism. However, his partner reassures him that she doesn't seek extraordinary qualities or grandeur but yearns for realness, comfort, and emotional intimacy. This resonates with the audience as it challenges the unrealistic standards often portrayed in media and highlights the value of genuine connection over superficial attributes. The repeated phrase "I want something just like this" underscores the acceptance of ordinariness as enough – a poignant commentary on modern love and relationships.
Something Just Like This
Lyrics
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
But she said, where d'you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
I want something just like this
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits
She said, where d'you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can miss
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
I want something just like this
I want something just like this
