LYRICS
Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine
You have lost
Too much love
To fear, doubt and distrust
(It's not enough)
You just threw away the key
To your heart
You don't get burned
('Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see...
Love ain't fair
So there you are
My love
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you can't live like this
Love ain't safe
You won't get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don't wanna waste my love - เพลง

Come back Gotye, please!
Ye
@Pluto ikr
@Pluto Agreed, but his solo work has a different charm too, I miss that
He's been gone so long, that he's someone that we used to know.
@@Nalianna he's right there with his own band.
I love how timeless Gotye's music is. Criminally underrated artist!
Bunkuio gotye isn’t underrated, and neither is ah ha.
I'm very surprised this is from 2006, or even beyond in term of the song itself.
It looks really good
Bunkuio you know gotye has other songs that are popular aswell? And they also made “somebody that I used to know” which hit a billion views? Gotye is not underrated, and neither is ah ha. They both have a good following that is pretty big.
its not even that old
Monarchy Of Forlorn Ed Sheeran has 2 billion views and its overrated af instead of gotye
15 Years had passed and it still a great song
such a classic go to song for years will always be a great song
@@sonnie720 I like that.
That's surprising after 15 years?
@@thomasclements5353 yep!
Cause ppl will forever have issues with the heart, the love... or ? What do you think ... ?
This was actually released in late 2006. That’s now 17 years. My word.
I remember how much I loved this when I was little. Of course my music taste has changed by now 😔Edit: 17 YEARS????
Lol
i wasn’t even alive when it released lmfao
The visuals are almost as outstanding as the words.
@@NeedyBoBeedyBut look at you now . . . all alive and shit. Good job!
What I don't understand is that Gotye hasn't made a major career worldwide, except for one song everyone knows. This guy is a great musician, totally unique.
Not everyone is in it for fame
One song that everyone used to know
It's clear that he wants to stay sort of underground his new band is also super hidden
@@chickpea what is that band?
@@armandoguerrero7314 The Basics
I knew this song even before his hit song. He says he do not want to sell his music, and if anyone wants to use his work for a movie is free to do so. The most humane artist that ever existed, his music is from the heart for the heart and not for the money.
Source?
What a guy
Ezequiel Magnaye yeah no shit he will make money off of people listening to it because it’s an art and he should still be able to eat off of his art
Tristan Lavictoire A lot of people are. What are you talking about?
@Tristan Lavictoire You joking??? It's literally everyone's dream. Famous artist. Famous meaning well known and RICH. But yeah have fun in your fantasy world where people don't ever do anything for the financial aspect 😂
I personally think this a better song than Somebody I used to know. Under rated track
Fr
A lot of his songs are better than his one hit (and I like that song plenty, don't get me wrong).
Agree. I love this song more than SIUTK
Agreed. 'Somebody I Used To Know' makes me know Gotye, but Heart's a Mess is what make me stay
Facts
Anybody still listen to this in 2024 or is it just me?
Hi
Una y otra vez, ❤
sin parar
still here
Hi
"it makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect"
I deeply relate to that line
You are not the only one. I think in 2021 this particular sentence is so relatable. As we become more and more connected in truth we are becoming more and more disconnected. I really miss a deep connection sometimes.
@@archevil22 True
I noticed as time goes on, it’s harder to connect with people. So many have become so closed off and disinterested to even keeping a conversation. i miss sharing something with someone else
I gave you a notification listen with me🖤🇬🇭
Even the ending part hits too when he says, “but I don’t want to waste my love.”
Lyrics wise it is a lot sad than someone that I used to know because the meaning that the relationship is done and they don’t want to waste their time into something that isn’t there.
The way he says “connectttttttt” gives me goosebumps
Remund me of Carlos matos
oh yeah, this is pretty much my favorite part of the song
yesyes
Stop lying
The 2nd verse too
Anyone 2024 ?

Acá 🙋🏻♀️ desde hace un mes escuchando este músico talentoso

I accidentally clicked on this video and was like WTF. Never heard of this guy or the song. Long story short, that mis-click just changed my life. Holy shit. What a revelation. I'm absolutely obsessed.....replayed like five times!!! Amazing. A true artist. I just love him.
How had you never heard somebody that I used to know ?
Gotye is my favorite singer of all times😁 im mechanic i can fix his car for free for ex i can do the timming as a discount only if he can sing a song for me live😂
Make sure you know his other hit song somebody I used to know
I didn't know a song could make me sob. Therapy I didn't know I needed.
What! you've never heard of " somebody that i used to know" where have you been?? living in a cave...😊
Something oddly seductive about this song and yet something so nostalgic and sad about this video
emmallieh music for me its low key disturbing but I’m addicted and can’t help but watching it for the 39838384995 time
You took the words right out of my mouth. I don't know how he married loneliness with seduction but he pulled it off here
The Nostalgia aspect is cause its Gotye and you remember that hes somebody we all used to know (Get it?)
@Brenda Duesman thank you very much for explanation 💕💕💕💕 love this song soooo much and just found out that there is a video to this song, but couldn't get the video at all.... But thanks to you, now I do... Much appreciated it and lots of love from England 😏❤️
2020 and still loving it.
One day he'll come back to us
he is a band called the basics, check their yt channel
Amen
th-cam.com/channels/Mf5H2IgwK1IjfcP2rfISzw.html
Nope 👎
He doesn't need to come back because his music will always be here.
just discovered this masterpiece. Love Gotye's style
sucks no other song has this weird song type vibe. i want more like this
@@cannaisuer2091 yeah. But he's still very creative. 👌
So did I and omg. This could be a Tim Burton theme song
@@annabellegadabu7566check out Missy Higgins like a version cover of this.. both versions are amazing.

You did the lords work here. However is there a chorus just after the bridge or I should let go of the wine. Just after “Let me occupy your mind” comes “your hearts a mess…” 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ it’s so nice to read the the lyrics.
Basically what my husband told me 40 years ago. I'm glad I heard him.
An underrated, anonymous, forgotten masterpiece!.. Gotye is a genius!
With 25 million views I strongly disagree with you.
@@superkatarsis it's been overshadowed by Somebody You Used to Know
@@sarvo_1 You are very right about that I think 😃
Agree. Damn good song
It's not that forgotten if we are listening to it
I kind of feel bad that I am listening to this song now for the first time.
Same
One of my favs after searching up gotye after listening to the other more popular song. This song is beautifully sad.
I'm just glad more people are listening to his other work, I cringe every time I see someone say he was a one hit wonder.
Hahaha its great!!
Fr
Who's still here?
ME!!!
Me!!
I clicked this in 2020 after thinking I hadn't heard any other Gotye songs other than Somebody I Used to Know, but I got this really weird feeling, and i know I've seen this before. Freaked me out, but I'm glad I found this masterpiece again.
This song is on the Great Gatsby Soundtrack album . Perhaps you heard it there?
@@binkiebunnie Nah, mate. I've seen this video before somewhere. When my mom and I lived in Mexico, we'd go to a pizzeria for a treat sometimes and they played MTV on their TV a lot. You know, when that channel used to play music videos? And I think that might've been where. Gnarly tho.
Pun Queen I think I saw this when I was like 8
Gives me james n the giant peach vibes

Michael Stanton and u can’t live like this
This is one of my favorite songs. Period.
Can't believe it's 15 years old. Has a timeless sound
18. Song from 2006.
When your internet / Wi-Fi is.down
" I'm desperate to CONNEEECCCCTTTTT............ "
LOL
Basically Gotye has a slow internet so he's still uploading a 7 year old clip
😂
3:54 that part always got me. It's like that final plea, that burst of emotion and energy to try to make it work, when you already know it's over, and you're empty and exhausted, but have to give it that one last push to say you did all you can
Too accurate 😕
This is exactly how I've felt about that part as well...that feeling behind the last push... this whole song is just perfection
damn… your comment really stuck to me when listening to this song
daamn, man, thats true…😭🙌🏻
Yea me 2
Let me tell you something, it gets better when you listen to it as you grow up too.
100%
I feel this deep in my bones 🦴 🥹😌
2024 anyone with me ?
I'm here
I have had this song on my playlist for years now but 2024 is when I finally watched the video. I love it.
Totally
Of course :)
2024 feeling it
Me n the boys going to the grocery store at 11 at night to get soda and carrots

I love how it have to be specifically carrot

wtf ? XD
"But I'm desperate to connect"
I felt that.
It hits you right in the feels
😎
Ha caught you
No you see, he was just trying to connect to a tech support guy on the phone. He goes into detail in Thanks For Your Time.
Gotye really hits us hard with his voice when he adds so much emotion to the "But I'm desperate to connect!" part, we can literally feel the pure dread within that lyric.
I agree
Still one of the most healing tracks I’ve ever heard
Seeing Gotye as a tall, depressed bean is all I ever wanted

Goes.
@@almamakoni4740 so glad someone else noticed that. 😂😂
It feels like this song sums up the human condition of losing a piece of your heart over lost love until you can lose no more… thanks Gotye for this timeless masterpiece!!
Makes sense why it was in the great Gatsby
This song lives in my head rent free. It makes my heart ache and my brain light up with so many emotions and thoughts. When gotye said he's an ARTist, he was NOT joking. Forever in love with this whole record. Thanks Gotye, for inspiring a generation of artists. love u. rant over. bye.

Something that really gets to me is the "I'm desperate to connect" line. You can find so many people to be with in the world, but it's remarkable how hard it is to find someone you can connect with.
You read my mind.
So true
And when you do find someone...they slip away.
I love the song, but let's talk about the video:
Gotye starts out resting on what is very clearly Earth's moon. Then he drops down onto what looks like a devastated Earth. Its skies are darkened to night. The only things we see on the surface of the planet are a few destroyed buildings. He is followed by a mechanical spider weaving a dark shadow. As he walks, he holds a megaphone up to his lips, calling out a message.
He walks through a formation of soldiers forcibly marching a creature with a tank of water on its back, a tear in its eye and moving on trembling crutches. The last of the clean water. It leaves the soldiers to join Gotye.
As the trio approach a collapsed home, three little spirits precede it and jump into the beak of a seemingly dead crane that is laden down with a broken fishing shack, a fishing line, and a stork's baby bundle. It has a Radioactive sign on its side, and its eyes have been bound shut. When the little spirits jump into its beak, it rises and joins the group.
They continue to traverse the wasteland, the spider walking backwards as it watches the ever-growing shadow that it weaves, cover the land. They pass through the burned remains of a forest, where the eyes of what used to live there watch them. A logger with an axe in its hand and laden down with a cargo of felled trees, joins them.
"You just threw away the key."
Ahead, the only seemingly living things are the still-polluting factories and an oil refinery, still belching out their poisons long after life has left the planet; in the foreground a crane with a wrecking ball mindlessly demolishes what's left of the apartment buildings; it's made for destruction and is driven to destroy until everything is gone. As the group passes it, it looks up from its mission, sees them, looks over the buildings it has been wrecking, and leaves its work to join them.
As they leave that area, the dirty glare of the factory lights and the oil refinery's gas flare gleam sickenly in the distance.
Above, to the left, the light of a tiny craft shoots up and out to escape through a thinner patch of sky where sunlight struggles to shine through weakly. It is not night after all; the sun has been blotted out by the thick cloud of pollution.
They stop by the sea's edge. A lonely sea monster with the head of a fish rows in on the last remaining piece of sea ice, which is rapidly melting. The sea monster joins the exodus as the spider gently pulls a blanket of shadow across the planet - it is almost completely covered now.
They pass through a cemetery where the Big Five (Exxon, Chevron, Shell, BP and TotalEnergies) finally grieve and wring their hands while surrounded by the gravestones of the protesters that were killed for raising the alarm. A tortured spirit rises from the ground, his mouth bound and silenced. He has a flower on his head and twisted around his body is the spirit of the thing he died trying to protect: life. With a backward glance back at the tycoons, he too joins the parade.
They reach the place Gotye first landed when he jumped down from the moon, and the spider finishes pulling the funeral shroud over the Earth.
The members of the little parade climb each other up past the reach of gravity, and float into space. Farewell to the home we destroyed and lost. Is it a kind of suicide?
The song is sad but the _video_ is so full of grief.
there’s nothing left to be done but to give up. it’s inevitable, just like it appears to be with his unreachable muse
I could be wrong but this is my theory. The themes represent man, war, homeless, deforestation, polution, global warming and death. I thought the spider meant the end of the earth. Mankind is leading the charge. He has those no noise ear muffs because his hearts a mess and can't admit to it, he doesn't want to hear it. In the end you can't live like this. Literally... Look at the water at 3:51 the earth becomes barron, and there's nothing left.
Thx for sharing🔥❤️
You are a legend for this comment, tysm for this
with gotye, you don't have to separate the art from the artist
It’s so weird but like I’m addicted to the way they walk
Louise Belcher felt that
Same
you're a fan of nightmare before christmas then
Same lol
Mei lmao I actually am, that’s my favorite movie
I really wish some of Gotye's other stuff had been played on the radio along with (or instead of) "Somebody I Used to Know". Because that one had never really struck me, I hadn't bothered to look him up until a few days ago, when I heard "Eyes Wide Open". Now that I've checked him out, I feel that he's terribly underrated.
I don't know if underrated is the right word. I think it's a combination of things such as poor promotion considering how big he got, also combined with the fact that he doesn't appear to enjoy getting too much publicity and dipped out of the public eye for a more behind the scenes role in the music industry.
It's actually insane that this song is 15 years old as of now. It still holds up, sounding fresh and unique
Unpopular opinion: this song is better than somebody that I used to know.
The fact that this was made 13 years ago and sounds like something made this year is absolutely mind-blowing
It doesn't sound like something made this year. It sounds like nothing made at any time.
That was just indie music back then. It took the mainstream music industry 10+ years to pick up on all these great artists that were mostly getting famous through word of mouth.
@@Electricshrock Bjork
Why? I don't hear any difference between music from 2010 and 2020, it's like there has been no defined shift like from 80s to 90s, or 70s to 80s.
It’s like a lighter version of Tool imo

My interpretation is that it's about a failing relationship. The lyrics seem to suggest this. Each of the creatures that follow him are the negative emotions piling on as he's stuck in a relationship that can't be saved. The creature on crutches is hurt, the one with the bundle on the stick is feeling like you don't belong (don't have a home), the crying creature in the woods is sadness, the wrecking ball is anger, the snake on the ice is isolation, the skeleton is grief, and all of them are followed by the spider that is taking away the light on the planet they inhabit. Also, note that Gotye's creature is wearing headphones and carrying a megaphone. I take this to represent that the people involved are shouting, but not listening to what's being said. In the end, all the emotions pile on, until the only solution is to let go entirely, shown by the scattering into space.
I really appreciated this description pf the video and I wanted to see it at the top of the comments section again.
YES! Same!! Thank you for finding this comment and reposting it, I remembered looking for it again a while back but was unable to find it. I was really upset that all these comments that basically repeat the same three things somehow knocked this one into the depths, when this is such a perfect description!! Especially the bit about Gotye wearing headphones and carrying a megaphone! Love this interpretation!!
That makes so much sense
omg you're a genius
Now the one I need is the one talking about world disasters
I always appreciate people like you in the comment section 💕
You searched this in 2024. Welcome. We're still here and enjoying.
Just heard it for the first time today!

actually this came into my recommended last year.
I didn't realize this was that old, its a pretty good song with nice CGI for 2007
It's a fucking masterpiece deep lyrics and a good melody and a perfect voice
His voice is quite phenomenal
I'm seeing this for the first time (and hearing) I can see all these references, like obviously The Police and Pink Floyd, .... Brilliant!!! In lock down again Auckland, trying out new true wireless earbuds but still not enuff BASS.!
bro so true
This is an amazing song and one of my favorite songs of all time but the lyrics of this song are not that deep.
it get better with time 14 years and i still love this song so much
I agree 🤍😭
Just running by to say that I appreciate your name - a unique one

This was my first Gotye song- blew me away!
Why am I listen to the song for the first time in the end of 2019

Same what?🤣
You're just in time. Listen to all of his albums in their entirety. I feel bad for those who only know *Somebody That I Used To Know*
Don't get me wrong. It's still a great song. But all of his songs are just as great, if not greater. Heart's A Mess, Easy Way Out, and Bronte are three of my favorite Gotye songs. I just hope he makes another album.
2020 here
13 years🥺 if you’re watching this in 2020 (edit: or other year) you’re a legend

Absolutely same

big same
...Maybe this song do not exist cause the other one did ....
I remember when i always used to play this music video on my mum’s iPad over and over again, good memories.
Youre telling me this song is 15 years old and its first now that my Spotify recommends me this song!
He finds someone to love so he takes a dive into her heart and finds her and everything negative, lonely, depression, useless, fear, unhappy, and sad, he wants to make them seem small and her bigger than she really is, he tries as hard as he can but no matter how hard he tries she just gets smaller and smaller and everything negative surrounds her, he eventually gives up in the end and finds a way out of her heart and leaves because he doesn't want to waste his love on someone who won't let him in and makes him depressed that he cant do anything to make her happy like she once was.
Beautifully said!
I think that I live that song and it's painfull.
:/ yep
Idk why but there’s something so nostalgic about how dark and unusual this song is, yet something so oddly familiar, it’s as if we’ve experienced something similar to this in a dream, or at least I have, i mean, probably
The melody of the chorus was borrowed by Craig Armstrong for The Great Gatsby, when Daisy is talking about how she wishes that her daughter grows up a fool. Perhaps it reminds you of that, or perhaps it's just a really nostalgia-inducing song and that's why Armstrong picked it.
The music video gives super Mirror Mask vibes if you’ve seen that! I get all the nostalgia from that!
JGR I never saw the great gatsby Is it a musical?
And CrippledArms I never saw Mirror Mask but I have heard about it and saw a few scenes like that scene where the girl is in her bedroom and she thinks she’s finally back safe at home but then she opens the door and the troll things are all outside and she finds out it’s all just an illusion. 👁👄👁
Detective Pikachu it also reminds me of the Ruby Gloom intro!
Just leaving this comment here so that my kids know their dad had great taste in music.
8 years later, and this is still the main song I go to after a heartbreak... sigh.. so timeless

Gotye is in a band as the drummer, the band is called "The Basics"
(Im gonna get r/woooosh-ed but whatever)
Well you already can download it anyway
Pink Floyd meets Gorillaz, and Tim Burton.
you forgot Sting
That's, like, scarily accurate.
lol
Yeah
...and Sting
I know the world is obsessed with one song, but you put on one of the best shows I’ve ever seen live and I’ve been to concerts of all genres and sizes. Your work is so original and creative …thank you. 🙏🏻
15 years later. I still love Gotye works.
Who's listening in their own private cave under their mansion.
has anyone ever told you that you look a LOT like Bruce Wayne?
Who tf is Bruce wanhe
This is my favorite I know the houl song I know the whole song
I am
Is it because you parents died no need to be rude
It pisses me off to know that a song I love so much has existed for 7 years without my knowing. Just makes me wonder what else I would love is out there that I haven't discovered yet
THIS! I was thinking the same. It's quite annoying, right?
@@Gsquared300 hmm..
Deadly Deva What are you on about?
Gunship- when you grow up your heart dies ❤
There's fckn alot bro
I come back to this on a regular basis, such a work of art visually and musically
I feel like I missed out on a childhood not discovering this song earlier, the aesthetics im in love with, every instrument and section really sings its part.
thnx Gotye for zero commercials...
you're welcome babe
you're welcome
while you thanks an artist, i thank an extension named adblock
half of me: wow this is really cool.
the other half: what the actual FUCK.
damn right tho :D
ANIMAL CROSSING
TRIGGERED
excuse me, but animal crossing is life.
kill me yes it is love
Now gotye is somebody we used to know
Love the pink Floydesque march! Great video - Great job
I really don’t understand how something like this could possibly have a single dislike
People who have a different taste in music disliked this, I have no idea why they couldn't have just chosen a song they liked instead of having to feel like they have to make their selves known.
People who do not understand it and its beauty disliked it. It has always been so. Understanding something never bred contempt.
People are ignorant..and cant really appreciate good music.
They just haterz
Tone deaf.
I was listening to "Somebody I Used To Know" because it was one of those few songs that I automatically liked from the first listen and I've loved it for years. Figured I'd give some of Gotye's other stuff a chance. Don't regret it one bit.
same thing happened to me
Snap! ✋ so glad I did
Nicoolio same
So did I
Kaehyon I mean I get why it frustrates him I think every or almost every one hit wonder is frustrated when it comes to music. Only being known for one song must suck.
"somebody i used to know" is great but this is my favorite song on the album
I found this song 2008, when my Tinnitus started, and it was on my playlist for every night to fall asleep. It feels like the world has stolen my healing song.
LYRICS
Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine
You have lost
Too much love
To fear, doubt and distrust
(It's not enough)
You just threw away the key
To your heart
You don't get burned
('Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see...
Love ain't fair
So there you are
My love
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you can't live like this
Love ain't safe
You won't get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don't wanna waste my love
So simple, but powerful...it's genius
Thanks 👍
Thank you
Thanks 😊
its already in the description tho
This is a very kind song.
That's quite rare nowadays.
So what....it is the music that counts not the year. Check what years the cover versions come from.
I find this song really sad yet the beat reminds me of something really happy which is the song from this game called Rayman 3: Hoodlum's Havoc.

thanks for the info really necessary.. it was
This isn't kind. He said, this chick is a monster . But he's desperate even if it means he gets abused. And she wont stop lying and it makes no sense. That's sad. Who could live like that, or around that? He's right. Why waste his love.
This guy can't disappear. He's connected to youth and people through his music
his song really catches my melancholy
He isn't in it for the fame or money. Purely for the love of the craft! A true artist.
Why do I feel like I'm watching THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. LOVE THIS SONG AND GROUP .
