Somewhere Now
Green Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm running late to somewhere now
I don't want to be
Where the future and promises
Ain't what it used to be
I never wanted to compromise
Or bargain with my soul
How did a life on the wild side
Ever get so dull?

All grown up and medicated
On my own cellular waves
I put the riot in patriot
And we all die in threes

I got a scene in the middle of the road
I'm gonna take my time
I shop online so I can bolt
At the speed of life
I'm like a drum way up in the sky
I'm the shooting star
There's a soldier that's freaking out
P.S. this is war

All grown up and medicated
On my own cellular waves
I put the riot in patriot
And we all die in threes

All we want is money and guns
A new catastrophe
Here goes nothing
There's nothing to lose
It's a small price we pay
When we all die in threes

Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Somewhere now

Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Somewhere now

Hallelujah, I found my soul
Under the sofa pillows
Congratulations, I found myself
Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Somewhere now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics express a sense of restlessness and discontent, with the singer feeling lost and out of place in a world that no longer holds the promise it once did. The first verse finds the singer running late to an undesirable destination, highlighting a sense of urgency and frustration. The second verse suggests that modern life is characterized by reliance on technology and a loss of individuality, with the singer feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. However, the song ends on a note of optimism, with the repeated refrain of "Somewhere now" suggesting that the singer has found some sense of inner peace, even if it is a long and difficult journey to reach it.


Overall, the lyrics of "Somewhere Now" can be interpreted as a commentary on the challenges of modern life, including feelings of rootlessness, anxiety, and disillusionment. With its focus on individuality and the search for meaning, the song speaks to a deep and universal human experience. At the same time, the music itself is driving and upbeat, giving the song an energetic and anthemic quality that makes it a standout track on Green Day's album Revolution Radio.
