Hey everyone its bethkay and for this week's theme ive decided to sing something just like this by the Chainsmokers and Coldplay.
"Something Just Like This" by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay combines emotional storytelling with the energy of EDM, creating a track that’s both reflective and uplifting.
At its core, the song is about the contrast between larger-than-life expectations and the desire for something real. The lyrics talk about superheroes and legends — figures from stories who seem perfect and powerful. But instead of wanting a relationship that lives up to those impossible ideals, the narrator realizes that what truly matters is something simpler, more human. It’s about accepting imperfections and being loved not for being extraordinary, but just for being yourself.
In the EDM context, this theme is amplified through soaring synths and a powerful drop that contrasts the vulnerability in the lyrics. That emotional build-up, followed by the release in the chorus, mirrors the emotional highs and lows the song talks about. This is a common structure in EDM — creating a moment that’s both cathartic and unifying on the dance floor.
The track becomes an anthem for modern love — not based on fantasy or perfection, but on connection and authenticity. It resonates because it taps into the very thing EDM often does best: turning personal emotion into a shared, uplifting experience.
Lyrics
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
But she said, "Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this"
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
I want something just like this
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits
She said, "Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can miss
I want something just like this
I want something just like this"
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
