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...

Kimbra's part of the song completely changes how you perceive this song.
TRUE
Big deal its Baa Baa Black Sheep, not very original...
@@alwaysright3718Write a better song then lol
Would any one explain in that phrase "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" Is her ex saying she was not expecting him to be with someone else means he made a new gf or his imaginary gf is saying that she was not expecting him to still missing herself .
@Madhav_Tripathi oh wait, is this a grammar question? Oh, he's definitely stuck on the girl he's singing about the entire song. He doesn't even love her really, he just tells himself that because he's addicted to the heartbreak. He's an idiot.
Maybe he's been camouflauging into our walls this whole time. Maybe he never left.
Lol

Love the symbolism of the vid. He is buck naked representing that he is expressing his raw thoughts with nothing hidden then as he begins to become camoflauged he expresses his hidden thoughts of anger and resentment. And she starts out camoflauged expressing the hidden thoughts of anger and resentment she had but as she becomes buck naked she does not reveal her raw thoughts. As if saying that the only time they were connected was when they were both hidding from each other and that he never truely knew her and now that she is showing her true self he has become hidden, unwilling to expose himself again Because they are now both strangers or Somebody that they used to know.
When she says she thinks about the times he screwed her over, and he takes that breath to handle the honesty. That seems so real. So brilliant.
I never realised how deep the lyrics were
Ikr
Kyla Main like the twist when she comes in to give her side of the story.
when he sings somebody that i used to know i'm singing to my nutella now you're just somebody that i used to know LOL🍩🍫
What are you talking about?
Yes what? I have no idea what you're talking about
This guy dropped this banger and left
Now he’s just a guy we used to know
He still made music, just didn't keep the mainstream "appeal".

The lyrics are extremely thought provoking. The dude clearly plays victim while the lady has done her best to walk away from a toxic relationship. The ending was cherry on the top, how the man has belended into the wall, as a faint distant memory while the woman who was unseen, unheard before, has come out as a whole person.
I thought that too.
Bro made a banger and dipped, now he's just somebody that we used to know.
