The song "I'll Probably Never Be Somebody" by Vlad Holiday explores the feeling of inadequacy and the desire to be seen as someone important or special. The lyrics center around the idea that the speaker feels like they will never be recognized as a significant person in the world, but still has the hope that they can be seen as "somebody" in the eyes of a loved one. The song touches on the idea that sometimes we feel like our words are not heard or our voices are not loud enough to make a difference. The speaker acknowledges this, but still holds onto the hope that someone will see them as important and hold them in high regard. They wonder if they can pretend that life could be different and hold on to this hope. The use of old movie stars in the lyrics suggests a desire to be seen as glamorous and important, like those from the past. However, the speaker knows that this may not be possible and questions if it is wrong to want someone to hold them as if they are somebody special. Overall, the song portrays a longing for recognition and validation, while also acknowledging the reality that some of us may never achieve the level of success or fame that we aspire to.
