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 TH-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
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🤧🥹🥹
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! 🎯
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.
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.
He couldn't have chosen a better singer to duet with.The whole song is beautifully put together.❤
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
"you treat me like a stranger and it feels so rough", hits hard
Nekalakeninahapamewenetin hits harder
@@cooljim4476 fr nothing can beat that
@@cooljim4476 mekalakanevahapininawewanothin
That line is paused on my screen rn and I agree
Nope
It is not hard
A song about a suppressed relationship that lay dormant until it couldn't last any longer! A song about most people's love lives!
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.
Who's listening in 2024??
Right here my lord.
😊
This song and Wicked Game❤
Me daily sometimes cries 😢
Right here babyyy
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.
Dropped a banger then left us like someone he used to know
2024 ❤ immer noch eines der besten songs
😉
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.
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!
"I don't even need your love" hits too hard..💯🔥
Damn this song got me into some feelings I thought I forgot.
Same stuff
Now your feeling feelings that you used to know 😅
Us
"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
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
2024, anyone?
Me

no
Oh yeah
This song is like wine, the older it is, the better it sounds
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
I’m watching dis in April 2024
Ja!
Same
Shut up bot

I like how they sing separately; talk/yell over each other. They are not on the same page.
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.
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.
Such simplicity, absolutely amazing
Gotye Ft. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know
Great lyrics. Sums up a lot of relationships.
This guy had the dopiest lyrics. Straight fire
Dopest, dope-est. Not dopiest, dopy-est. Big difference
what really brings this song together is Kimbra.
Uhnmm can someone tell me how this doesn't have billions or views??
the official account is more than 2.
Anyone 2024 ?
Mee
Ich auch 😊!

Yep
Yes, and sharing it in relation to my feelings towards government via a post hidden with a political message.
This guy 100% rocks that haircut
Who's listening 2025?
Me
Always and forever😂
Bruh it's 2024
Yeah, it's 2024 ya egg! 😅
Bro...i'm in 2028!👋
The lyrics,the music, the cinematography just brilliant ❤
This song is a real defination of ghosting
2024
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 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.
Pure piece of art
Omg it's the real tony stark
Absolutely
unironically, it is.
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
This song really gives the chills
Thank you so much for including subtitles!

Their voices together is the perfect match, majestic ✨️
I always thought it was Sting singing the chorus. Such beautiful vocals ❤

Damn this song hits soooo hard that it can fit into my reality exactly
❤
Real.
What did the 4th class after all didnt got canceled?
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.
When she comes in at the high point it's really just perfectly done, gives me chills.
Most relatable Narcissistic breakup song ever
So true, and it doesn’t become completely apparent until you hear her side! Some of these comments people are exposing their narcissism!
when i was 10, my dad used to play this song for my mom in the car during their divorce process. i couldn't understand the meaning until now im 21 and i get it...
😢😢
I can't stop listening to this, it is pure artistic genius with hard hitting lyrics.
You can actually see pain in his eyes when he sings this song. This song is so mesmerizing i can listen to them over n over.
In every way that matters both the song and the video are FANTASTIC!!!
What a fantastic song this was .... brilliant!
This lyrics in this song , happened in my life exactly , very 2 meaningful to me,I can listen again and again this song
The 3 hours I spent searching for this song were worth it.
dropped a legendary banger and left...
Back in 2022 to listen to this classic, what a great song, the album is good as well.
THAT´S A FUCKING MASTERPIECE!!! Everything...music, lyrics, voices.... (is there a METAL version of it? 😃)
I'm crying, damn it hit a nerve!
🙏
I was supposed to call an old flame today. We even set a time to talk by text and everything. He didn't answer. Now he really is just somebody that I used to know.
I love this. To all of us who have loved and lost.
Cet artiste finalement peu connu est remarquable car sa voix haut perchee rappelle beaucoup pour de nombreux fans celle De sting!
I STILL LOVE this song! And the video is perfect.
Stumbled across this timeless masterpiece! Artist par excellence! So painful...
If that ain't a story about being the insignificant other of a narcissist I don't know what is.
Idealized at first, future faking,
feeling empty around them, everything's your fault, bad mouth you to their friends, cut you off, out, discarded, then you didn't exist at all and nor did the thing called a relationship except you know it did. It's just that person you used to know never ever existed. Twas a front, a facade. A con to get you to love them just so they can abuse you in a weird kind of personality syphon
i really don’t understand this that way. i feel like he had some type of love for her, he put a pressure on her to be as perfect as he made her up to be in his head. he felt empty in her presence because the person he loved didn’t exist, she couldn’t be up to the expectations he put on her, she wasn’t as perfect as he wanted her to be.
he made her feel guilty for not being who he wanted her to be (which you can understand in her lyrics, saying he screwed her over, always gaslighting her into thinking she was the problem). but when they broke up, he wanted to be friends because he was attached to her, but she didn’t want to be caught in that loop again and preferred to have him become a stranger. he felt it was unjustified for her to cut him off but she was so hurt that she didn’t think the friendship was worth saving.
i really think it’s about two people mutually sabotaging each other, whether it’s during the relationship or after.
i really don’t understand how the woman could be seen as a narcissist here, and i don’t see him as such either. i feel like he just wasn’t ready to let go & ended up realizing that he lost someone great despite her not being up to his expectations. to me this is about him not willing to let go of her because he realized who she really was - not the idealized version, the human version - only when he lost her.
i also think the woman has these lyrics especially to make the audience understand her side, to which he still responds with a "but" ;)
& yeah, the paint coming off of her is his mind letting go of the grasp of idealization on her. she was still painted into the perfect women, but when she cut him off it came off, she didn’t have a place in his perfect geometric mind anymore, she was free to be a stranger to him :) he’s himself painted because he doesn’t think he did any wrong, he doesn’t realize his cycle of idealization. he painted himself when she came into his life & thought they lived in a perfect world
I think you heavily misunderstood the song, to me the song is more about him loving someone and during the relationship blamed all the bad things on her , in the end they broke up and even though she told him that they would still be friends she simply treated him like a stranger by pretending that they never had a relationship in the first place. Im basically just qouting the lyrics but they are straightforward as hell.
this is instantly what it made me feel. He cut her part short when she expressed herself and made it about him saying “okay well you didn’t have to cut me off” that’s what narcissists do. You can tell them how you feel and they play the victim. also she said “you said you could get over me and I won’t catch you hung up on me so I left” and the removal of her part in his picture. I just got out of a narcissistic relationship and this is exactly what I felt
2022 n I can't deny how am I love with this song and the guy himself,
A million dollar face💜💜💜💜💜
opening of this video stunning and the message is thought provoking
Producer: What song next???
Gotye:no more songs
this song is amazing it helps me a lot like A LOT
I'm happy for her. She's got read of the abuser according to the song.
That's a fresh perspective!
From the words of the girl, yes...
But listen to what the man is singing. He used the words lonely, ake, sadness. She hurt him.
"You said you were so happy you could die". That's a bit exaggerated, don't you think?
To me, it sounds like the love-bombing stage of a narcissistic relationship...
And finally, they decided split up. "I'll admit that I was glad that it was over" - he wasn't happy in there, it's obvious.
And now, that it's all over, he holds a grudge against her. "We were nothing", if she used those words... he can still remember that, and it haunts him... "You treat me like a stranger", he is obviously in pain.
And finally, "now you're just somebody that I used to know." - From my perspective, he is glad to be rid of her... after all the pain she's caused him.
If she was a narcissist for example, she pretended to be nice in the beginning... I'm no expert, but I believe it's called masking. At least in autism, there is such a thing as masking...
Gradually, the mask falls off. From the love bombing stage, the devalue stage starts. And then finally, the discard.
For me, the "hung up on somebody that you used to know" part is: he fell in love with the mask, the nice version of her, that she portrait in the beginning...
And once he got to know the real her... he didn't want to be with her any more.
Or maybe, it was the other way round, maybe she didn't want to be with a looser... because once she devalued him, that's what he became in her eyes.
I speak from personal experience. The girl has to be the villain... - it's skewed, I know!
This song is about me and my wife: Nice at first. And now, hurting me practically every time she opens her mouth. Her mask, fell off long ago, the day we got married... And ever since, it's been torture.
I enjoy the part close to the ending while Gotye is venting and Kimbra is melodically screaming at him
I heard this song for the first time 2 days ago ❤ Where have I been 😂
