Some Other Level
Andrea Parker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No place like here
On some other level
Imaginary time
Another place of mine

Playing hide and seek
In the palm of your hand
Reality you never
Quiet ?? for understand

What lies ahead
How to define
The movement unchange
On suspended time

Moving forward
To cover different ground
Postcards from another planet
Waiting to be found
Waiting to be found

Sound experience
Everything I see
Impossible to resist
A journey of discovery

No place like here
On some other level
Imaginary time
Another place of mine

Moving forward
To cover different ground




Postcards from another planet
Waiting to be found

Overall Meaning

Andrea Parker's song Some Other Level is a contemplative and introspective piece that deals with the idea of escaping reality and finding a different space to exist in. The lyrics suggest a sense of alienation and dissatisfaction with the current state of things, and yearning for a place beyond what is known and familiar. The opening lines "No place like here, on some other level, imaginary time, another place of mine" set the tone for the rest of the song, invoking a sense of uncertainty and longing for something beyond the tangible realm.


The second verse describes a game of hide and seek "in the palm of your hand", which could be interpreted as the artist trying to find meaning in something that is elusive or difficult to grasp. She suggests that reality is something that is never fully understood, always just out of reach. The notion of "suspended time" reinforces the idea that time itself is a construct that can be manipulated, and that there are other planes of existence beyond linear time.


The chorus repeats the idea of being on some other level, further emphasizing the idea of escaping the mundane and ordinary. The final verse talks about a "sound experience" that cannot be resisted, suggesting a desire to explore and discover new sounds and ideas. The overall mood of the song is one of introspection and contemplation, with a yearning for something beyond the ordinary.
