Interpretation
In the lyrics of the song 'Something Just Like This' by
The Chainsmokers, it's about the singer comparing himself to the great heroes and myths, like Achilles, Hercules, Spiderman, and Batman. He realizes that he doesn't see himself on that list of superheroes.
Then he meets a person who asks him where he wants to go and how much risk he's willing to take. The singer responds that he's not looking for someone with superhuman powers or who is a superhero. He simply wants someone he's attracted to and can kiss. He wants something simple and real, not the superhero myth.
The chorus of the song repeats the singer's desire to find something that is just like him. He wants something that makes him feel it's real and gives him hope. He doesn't want superhuman powers or fairy tale happiness, but something he's attracted to and misses.
The lyrics of the song express the desire for a normal and real relationship, rather than an idealized version of love. It's about saying that it's not necessary to be a superhero to be close to someone and have a meaningful connection.
