Novelists - Somebody Else Lyrics






Drifting on the airwaves
Stuck with earphones on
Can't feel no connection with the world around you

Like overwhelmed by signals
Caught in a million wires
I keep on trying to believe
It's not too late to change, no

It's like everyone needs to share
And wanna be adopted
How many likes just to feel alive?
Are we all disconnected?

Can't get no reception
Yet every streets are crowded
And all is too intense
But nothing is ever made to last here

Plasticize these feelings
A dozen filters on the face
And tell me how you're feeling

How can we find ourselves in their world
If we're all dreaming to be somebody else...
And only suffer the difference?

Drifting on the airwaves
Like tryna forget what's wrong
Can't feel no connection with the world around you

Like seeing the world expire
Caught in a million wires
I keep on tryna believe it's not too late to change

I'm sick of seeing ads
Sick of being forced to watch
So sick of being told who I am
I'm sick of hearing lies
So sick of hearing lies
So tired of trying

How can we find ourselves in their world
If we're all dreaming to be somebody else...
And only suffer the difference?

Can't get no reception

  4. �.... �....

  5. f.... ....

    This song is very good, Brazil listens to you!

  11. �.... �....

    A nashy nisho ne skajut,?

  19. k.... k....

    Matteo and holcomb collab would be sick!

  20. Z.... ....

    Although the song itself is frickin awesome, does anyone else think the mix sounds a little off? The drums are fine, but the guitars are feeling lost in the mix.

  21. S.... A....

    God I've missed this

  22. T.... ....

    Magnifique ! You guys never disappoint

  23. D.... 6....

    Lyrics:



    Man I felt that

  24. D.... N....

    Звучит как ремикс какой-то старой песни. Годно

  25. A.... C....

    I feel more polyphia than periphery in that intro tbh...

    A.... C....

    There is no way it sounds like polyphia. Novelists are known for their uniqueness and fresh music.

  26. M.... C....

    Yo ! 🤘im a musician from france that is part of a band called suks....
    we just came out with a new single not too long ago and would love it if you could check it out and give it your opinion ^^
    The link on youtube is: https://youtu.be/3QjIHZqU3tQ
    It would mean the world to us if you could give us 5 mins of your time 🙏🏼

  27. D.... ....

    This is NVLSTS FR ❤️💯🇫🇷

  28. 7.... 4....

    I hear a slight Van Halen influence

  29. C.... P....

    Is this the same band Novelists?

  30. H.... G....

    Matteo's voice is astounding as usual. Cant wait for the new album

  31. C.... V....

    Dammit. I promised I would only listen to Novelists new songs once every couple days. I cant stop with this song for some damn reason. You're killing me, Matteo.

  32. B.... S....

    I really love that intro

  33. e.... ....

    See you soon in Budapest! ;)

  34. R.... ....

    I thought i was listening to Polyphia at first. Great!

  35. M.... ....

    I fucking love this direction for Novelists. It's got the technicality of Souvenirs, but even more musical

  36. B.... ....

    Saw this song on my recommended and this sounds amazing

  37. R.... ....

    Amazing song!

  38. C.... M....

    Simply amazing

  39. B.... T....

    This is what happens when Anatares and The Way The News Goes by Periphery have a baby. Diggin it!

  40. J.... b....

    Love these boys.

  41. T.... ....

    I got a very 'Antares' vibe at the opening. It sounds very much like their other stuff, with isn't a bad thing. They've made such a unique sound for themselves and I'm glad they're sticking with it while a lot of other bands are changing it up a bit. Man I can't wait until this releases

  42. G.... o....

    Doesn't matter what music I'm in the mood for, Novelists always feels right

  43. J.... A....

    Playthrough pleeeeaaaaase! 🥺❤️

  44. D.... I....

    Why did they add the FR
    France?

    D.... I....

    Yeah. They had a legal dispute with another band called The Novelists and had to add FR to their name to diferenciate. Something similar also happened to Kublai Khan

  45. w.... ....

    i found this band a few years back and LOVED the last record. I play guitar and I remember the guitar player saying that the new stuff would be a bit more techy. Im all for that but personally I usually dig the more basic groovy stuff and ive never been a huge fan of a ton of leads. So for me the 2 new singles are not my favorite but its all good! There still dope songs and i still haven't had that proper time to let them soak in im sure they will grow on me.

    w.... ....

    The tech side of this band is the best side

  46. J.... R....

    I love Novelists. Guys you're French you could easily come to Barcelona some time soon huh just saying just saying

    J.... R....

    we are coming in litteraly 2 weeks!

    J.... R....

    @Nicolas Delestrade good try mate you almost got me there

    J.... R....

    OH SHIT IT WAS TRUE THO

  47. P.... B....

    Amazing!

  48. r.... ....

    Next level music.

  49. A.... X....

    La crème de la crème novelists 💙

  50. w.... ....

    I'm gonna see them on the next saturday, omg im so hyped

  51. R.... S....

    I found love for the first time...

  52. D.... D....

    The new Sound is great...i like the clean parts

  53. k.... w....

    i'm so glad novelists are still together

  54. K.... ....

    Every jams by Novelists always become a new addiction RIGHT AWAY and i think that’s insane. You go guys!! 🖤 CANNOT STOP PLAYING THIS ONE.

  55. D.... ....

    Damn I just listened to this a few times but the opening still is getting to me. 00:41 - 1:00 is just to cluttered. When Periphery does it in TWTNG, it works because Spencer draws out his notes and plays off the rythym of the song. I don't feel like it works here. What do you guys think?

  56. D.... ....

    Metal guitarists are really eating up these split tones.

    D.... ....

    I know. I love it

  57. S.... S....

    New from the guysss💜

  58. O.... B....

    No hate - very excited for the album, BUT - Can someone explain to me, as far as music theory goes, what is it that I DON’T like about the music as soon as he sings the note at 2:03? The chord progression goes lower or something. I’ve been trying to figure this out for years. Same sort of sound is in the single ‘Drift’ by ERRA.

  59. D.... K....

    Once again you make an awesome song...thank you for making music guys

  60. T.... ....

    I love, love, love y'all as a group; a cosistenly evolving set of artist. And that shit shines, because, this is quite possibly your best single since The Lichtenburg Figure or Heartfelt!

    One question, why the FR?

    T.... ....

    Th47M4r1n35n193r France. Another group probably made a band named novelists

  61. R.... D....

    Yeah......this is may be the worst song they've written imo. It happens, hopefully the rest of the album is better

  62. M.... 9....

    Awesome!

  63. F.... G....

    This sounds great and is highly underrated

  64. T.... ....

    Definitely hear that Periphery influence, I totally forgot I was listening to Novelists.

    T.... ....

    Periphery rarely writes stuff like this anymore

    T.... ....

    hcaz ikr 😔

  65. l.... k....

    Me watching YouTube videos
    SO SICK OF SEEING ADS!!!!

  66. W.... ....

    release date, january? good way to start a new year

  67. l.... k....

    I sense a new album a bomb album please tour back in texas ill always come out to see you guys

  68. H.... ....

    Holy shit, they just took their notes and instrumental playing to the next level, God bless.

  69. C.... T....

    Yussssssss

  70. B.... S....

    this band can do no wrong, I have never heard a bad track from them...they have changed my life with their music.

  71. r.... R....

    Durand always has some of my favorite guitar tones!

    Even if the production is a little off

  72. B.... C....

    Destiny Potato vibes in that opening

    B.... C....

    sounds more like CHON or Polyphia

  73. M.... A....

    In love with this perfect band looooove you so much

  74. S.... C....

    Seriously what's with the FR?

    S.... C....

    It means France

  75. D.... ....

    The graphics are sick! The song is amazing as well!

  76. E.... P....

    YESSSSS

  77. A.... ....

    Their music speaks to your fuckin soul!

  78. J.... C....

    Don't mind me, I'm just waiting for Nik Nocturnal to show up.

  79. M.... O....

    These guys can never make a bad song love novelists fr you guys are amazing

  80. l.... ....

    why january???
    you can release it next week :D

  81. G.... ....

    I have never been disappointed by a Novelists song. All of their songs speak to me, their music is like drugs. You want more and more, you can never get enough.

    G.... ....

    But it's not bad unlike drugs!

  82. R.... S....

    Incomunicated in the age of comunication. Ironic, huh?

  83. Q.... C....

    I'm going to buy the full table in Madrid huehue

  84. O.... J....

    Always so accurate and defined - lads its brilliant every time

  85. J.... H....

    I've been fuckin with y'all for bout 3 years now. Keeps getting better, and better💜💜

  86. V.... B....

    What a fantastic message in this song, too. I think I sense a theme to this album.

  87. H.... ....

    Le batteur est une putain de pépite, cette musique c'est de l'or, ce groupe c'est une putain de banque. Métaphore filée en commentaire... check

  88. J.... C....

    Love this!! The guitar riffs and leads are amazing. Vocals are amazing as well. This stuff is like a fine wine of music!

  89. L.... ....

    I'm a simple man. I see Novelists and I hit like.

  90. D.... P....

    Novelists/20, parfait comme d'hab ^o^

  91. D.... T....

    -3 days to see you again, cant wait. Ps. that key variation 🔥🔥

  92. N.... I....

    Dear NOVELISTS❤️❤️❤️❤️
    Love u from Bangladesh

  93. M.... ....

    🔥🔥🔥

  94. T.... M....

    Got that Polyphia vibes to it. I love it.

    T.... M....

    @hcaz that intro is straight up Polyphia though

    T.... M....

    @Ruok lol no

    T.... M....

    @hcaz oh but it is

    T.... M....

    @Ruok just because something is a split coil clean tone dosen't mean its polyphia

    T.... M....

    @hcaz Its not the pickups dumbass. its the chords and melodic phrasing thats very Polyphia. If you hadn't seen the title of this video and first time listening to it, you wouldnt even expect its Novelists at the intro.

  95. A.... B....

    perfect
