Someday
Two Door Cinema Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a difficult one.
Are you running faster and further away,
Or are you trying to keep up?
Sticks and stones have left you alone,
And all your words will soon desert you.
Are you waiting?
There is no time
For wasting any time.
This is the end of the line,
The definite sign
Of what we will be
Someday.
Where do we start
If we will end apart?
Where do we go from here?
It's head versus heart.
It will all be clear
Someday.
We hear that rumbling song in the distance.
It's coming closer, but we don't like to talk about it.
The sticks and stones won't build you a home,
And every word it will exert you
'til your done.
There is no time
For wasting any time.
This is the end of the line,
The definite sign
Of what we will be
Someday.
Where do we start
If we will end apart?
Where do we go from here?
It's head versus heart.
It will all be clear
Someday.
The lyrics of Two Door Cinema Club's song Someday discuss the conflict between the head and the heart, and the struggle to determine the direction of one's life. The first verse poses the question of whether the singer is running away from something or trying to keep up. The second verse references the isolation of the singer as "sticks and stones have left you alone," and the forthcoming end of their words. The chorus alludes to the urgency of time and the need to use it wisely, as well as the certainty that the end of the line is approaching. The final verse refers to an impending and ominous danger that is too difficult to address, and the use of words as a source of exhaustion until one is "done." Despite the uncertainty, the hope is that all will someday become clear.
Line by Line Meaning
Is it a race, or a chase?
Are we competing or following each other, we can't tell
It's a difficult one.
This is not an easy question to answer
Are you running faster and further away,
Are you trying to distance yourself by running faster
Or are you trying to keep up?
Or are you struggling to catch up
Sticks and stones have left you alone,
You have been left alone by all the hurtful words and actions
And all your words will soon desert you.
You will soon run out of things to say or express
Are you waiting?
Are you just waiting for something to happen instead of taking action
There is no time
We don't have any time to waste
For wasting any time.
We can't afford to waste any time
This is the end of the line,
This is the final destination
The definite sign
A clear indication
Of what we will be
Telling us what the future holds
Someday.
At some point in the future
Where do we start
We don't know where to begin
If we will end apart?
If we know we will part ways at the end
Where do we go from here?
What is the next step in our journey
It's head versus heart.
The struggle between logic and emotions
It will all be clear
Everything will eventually become clear
Someday.
At some point in the future
We hear that rumbling song in the distance.
We sense trouble approaching
It's coming closer, but we don't like to talk about it.
Danger is approaching, but we ignore it
The sticks and stones won't build you a home,
Hurtful actions won't bring comfort or security
And every word it will exert you
Every word will drain you physically and emotionally
'til your done.
Until you can't do it anymore
