Somebody That I Used To Know lyrics
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
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 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
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
I used to know
That I used to know
Somebody...

Like a fine wine, this song gets better with age. Truly memorable
agree .. it also has an interesting memory :-) and that memory relates someone I used to know who died .. lost a fun person
You better believe
It’s a classic, pity he had to pass
Also why does this video have almost 10mil views but 12k subs
@@benlo369 you don't have be subbed to watch a video mostly ppl will get a song into their head and just play it on UA-cam id imagine it's just the song and ppl aren't subbed to him as artist,
After all these years I'm only realising he gradually blends into the background as a metaphor to the relationship fading out, clever
Bumped into this song few months ago loved it then today decided to watch the video of it i just saw that right away (the blending and fading of of the paint)
What about the paint disappearing off her at the end of the video?
@@nicholasmaude6906possibly, he is now in the background of her life?
Being a survivor of this kind of relationship, I view it as her choosing to remove herself from the picture he's so carefully and intricately created.
Painted a picture 😎
the part when he says somebody that i used to know and the paint is disappearing off her body is perfect
It has always amazed me how quickly love can turn to hate when a couple breaks up. They go from wanting to love each other to wanting to hurt each other.
Or, like the song suggests, just forget you ever existed. Like; "Really? For 4 years we ate together, slept together, spent holidays together and now you won't even speak to me on the street???"
I totally agree with you on that one
Wisdom abounds. Why are relationships so difficult?
@@loriwest610 You erase someone from your life when it's too hard to keep knowing that the person you used to love, and still love, has become someone different from the person you fell in love with. It's kind of like you loved someone, and someone else killed her, took her skin, and is now walking around wearing it.
I agree with you on that one.
In 2007 I met this young woman who became my best friend, she made me laugh better than nobody, the sun in my life. In 2011 we start a relationship but the begining was very difficult for several reason (our exs, the jealousy…) and we break up at the same time this song came out. I was so sad… but few weeks after we got back together. And today she is my wife since 2015, and she sleeping next to me as i write these lines. The only love of my life. The break up songs exist, but in the real life, sometimes, the ending is better 😉
For me more and less similar story connetcted with this song. i was deadly in love with guy who does not care too much about me
Well f**k you!
Just kidding, nice to know there are some happy endings 👍
Beautiful story brother 👏 don’t take anything for granted
Hell yeah brotha theirs still hope for the rest of us coming back to this song 😅😂
Aww🤧🥹🥹
He couldn't have chosen a better singer to duet with.The whole song is beautifully put together.❤
"you treat me like a stranger and it feels so rough", hits hard
Nekalakeninahapamewenetin hits harder
@@cooljim4476 fr nothing can beat that

That line is paused on my screen rn and I agree
Nope
It is not hard
It's September 2023 and this song just never gets old. The video is so beautifully done and their voices are perfectly blended together and against each other. I never tire of listening to it or watching the video...
I agree

November now😂
I sit here singing along with tears and a clenched jaw after mine happened April 13th of this year. 7 years I gave her and she won't even have a phone conversation with me after I admitted that I knew she was having an affair. I don't think I will ever tire of this one as well
I'm still listening to this in 2024, and I still find the song and the video a powerful message. Painting one into your picture or taking them out
I AM CRYING
Me toooo I am listening it to right on repeat
this song feels very personal, being through a manipulative partner
I've been cut out and cast aside so many times, I've found myself somewhat jaded. People these days seem to get off on rejecting. I feel that we live in an era of cruelty and apathy.
@@msnunu0526--- me too.
I like how they sing separately; talk/yell over each other. They are not on the same page.
This song needs to go on at least three times as long - we need to hear more of her side of the story.
Yeah, and why it matters to him now, b/c he was relieved it was over. He shouldn't want it both ways.
@@letsbereal9455that’s how a narcissist works. Hear his words, and how angry/lost/vulnerable he is that she just upped and left when she was done. He treated her so badly she left. And yet he’s so caught up in his own worth that her leaving, making her own choices, hurt. He said ‘he wouldn’t get hung up’ on her, but that just was not the case. No more story required.
@@ValeriePallaoro what about her attracted a narcissist, like what kind of personality do yo need to have to attract a narcissist and also, how low does your self esteem need to be to stick around for abuse ?
What was she wearing, right? C'mon dude. Its embarrassing for y'all at this point. Therapy can do wonders. ✌🏻@dantepula5096
@@ValeriePallaoro nailed it! Bullseye! 🎯
Who's listening in 2024??
Right here my lord.
😊
This song and Wicked Game❤
Me daily sometimes cries 😢
Right here babyyy
"I don't even need your love" hits too hard..💯🔥
Dropped a banger then left us like someone he used to know
A song about a suppressed relationship that lay dormant until it couldn't last any longer! A song about most people's love lives!
There’s two sides to every story. He thinks he’s the victim, then she comes in and tells her side and the audience realizes he possibly cheated and may have caused the breakup. It’s such a brilliant song, and such a great video. Makes me sad that the guy behind it felt like the popularity ruined his sanity.
Sounds like a narcissist victim story
Remember when he dropped this and then just disappeared of the face of the earth
Now he's somebody we used to know
@@412Nails lol
He said what he needed to say.
And now he's just somebody that we used to know
Its a stolen song.
2024 ❤ immer noch eines der besten songs
😉
Such simplicity, absolutely amazing
Gotye Ft. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know
As someone who has gotten out of an abusive relationship this song hits differently. When you think that somebody was your whole life and you could not live without them but once you actually start doing it, you see that they were slowly killing you. I've gotten to a point in my life that I never thought was possible with actually being free of suicidal thoughts, being able to feel joy and living my own life instead of my whole life being about making the other person happy and being manipulated into Stockholm syndrome. After someone has screwed you over so many times and made you believe it was always something you did, you do want to cut all the ties to that person. For your own safety.
Don't let anyone tell you that abuse is a normal thing that happens in every relationship and you should just deal with it. If you think this is the case for you, do some research on narcissism and you might be surprised how many things it will clear up. Love bombing is not love, it's not worth it to let someone destroy you just so you can have some good days every now and then.
I agree!
A Song about Narcism!
Er hat sie schlecht behandelt, beschwert sich aber dann weil sie Schluss macht und komplett die Brücken abbricht.
Aus Rache jammert er dann rum und rächt sich indem er sie behandelt wie jemanden den er nur mal gekannt hat.
A*schlochverhalten nenne ich als Mann sowas!
damn...
I have no words 👏
I was married for thirty years in such a relationship..... mentally abusive always I was at fault only stayed as he was a good father.....then when my children had left home at 52 I stood in the kitchen and thought why am I here? I told him that day and left.......have met a wonderful man and am able to be equal in love and life with my partner....
@@lorrainehamiltonhamilton1142 I'm so glad you were happy to get through this and find someone you deserve.
This song is like wine, the older it is, the better it sounds
Me, I'm listening in 2024.
I loved the music, but had not tuned into the lyrics properly before seeing this.
God! Talk about singing my life!
This song is genius. I get goosebumps every time I hear it
My 1992 was but she k m off and still does it to this day teesside love to meet up one day

Thank you ,yes
There is a deep and dull pain with someone You use to know. It hurts
In the best way.
@@Exxeron-ob3tvNot if they disappointed you for some years.
@@pauljordan4452Not wanting to dump on you or anything, but if mere disappointment is your gauge then perhaps your pain isn't deep enough.
If you get to the point where your existence becomes an afterthought, you'll get it.
It's surreal when you look up someone from your past on FB. It's like; "Did we ever really know each other?" We're back to being total strangers now. Crazy.
@@loriwest610 Its a crazy surreal indescribable feeling really...
the drum and voice change then the shouting, it goes so unbelievably good.
...
the absolute master piece
the most song i have ever known.
and the words are good too
Yes, I have noticed this too. In the beginning, her voice is so soft and quiet. And towards the end, she is standing close and shouting into his ear! Like between me and my wife.
I don't have many goosebump songs and I've been around the planet a few times but this is one of them. The tune, the video, brilliantly put together.
Damn this song got me into some feelings I thought I forgot.
Same stuff
Now your feeling feelings that you used to know 😅
Us
The song works on so many levels. And the constant building up to the climatic end is genius. Not to mention picking the perfect female foil to increase the magic of the piece. I don’t know what he’s doing now, I’m just elated that he did this then.
@@chilipeen7265 Lol… everyone is entitled to an opinion.
"you can be addicted to Sadness"
every person who struggles with Depression understands this.
I get it to much even when things are going well.
Oh no😅
I do get it but also I drank myself into a pitiful fat away lonely existence
Ion feel sadness
Pure piece of art
Omg it's the real tony stark
Absolutely
unironically, it is.
what really brings this song together is Kimbra.
Great lyrics. Sums up a lot of relationships.
The lyrics,the music, the cinematography just brilliant ❤
This guy had the dopiest lyrics. Straight fire
Dopest, dope-est. Not dopiest, dopy-est. Big difference
Thank you so much for including subtitles!
🐝
Just caught this and wow!!
The lyrics perfectly depicting emotions twisted and torn, the two way hurts, the wronged and the wronged, just their different perspectives. At odds, yet so harmonious with each other. Voices, pained and resolute. Art imitating life.
I will never get tired of this personally lived song.
This song really gives the chills
Their voices together is the perfect match, majestic ✨️
I always thought it was Sting singing the chorus. Such beautiful vocals ❤
I’m watching this in April 2024
Ja!
Same
Shut up bot
me to

What a fantastic song this was .... brilliant!
I can't stop listening to this, it is pure artistic genius with hard hitting lyrics.
I never even heard of this song on the car radio back when it first came out in 2011. The first time I heard this song was 2021 and it was driving me nuts because it was so damn good. I loved it.
Mam najlepsze wspomnienia przytej piosence ❤❤❤❤❤❤
When she comes in at the high point it's really just perfectly done, gives me chills.
This guy 100% rocks that haircut
2024, anyone?

dropped a legendary banger and left...

Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know)
Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know)
I used to know
That I used to know

Somebody
This song came out just after the end of a 10 years relationship, the only woman I've loved (except my mum ofc), and now.... She is just somebody that I used to know...
Right in the feels :)
A classic, great song. Thanks. The acappella version is AWESOME.
😮😮😮😅😅l
Yup, shit happens, but not this song, this song is great :D@@StaceyMJoLovoy-gs4wf
Masterpiece ❤. After so many years still love this
So mad I’m just now hearing this song but everything happens for a reason 😩 perfect timing.
God dang that’s a powerful song!
Haven’t heard this song in such a long tine
This is true art! Stunning.
Just discovered- late but loving it!! ❤
This song is on the level of "Twist of my sobriety" by Tanita Tikaram and "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega. The same unbelievable concentration of expression and deep meaning delivered by the simple at the first sight words.
God it hits my soul
Me,AND I"ll always listen to it over AND over again,take it for granted !!
Great tune!!!
Who's listening 2025?

Always and forever😂
Bruh it's 2024
