Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Instead there is only silence
Can't you hear my screams?
Never stop hoping
Need to know where you are
But one thing is for sure
You're always in my heart
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul
Lost in the darkness, try to find your way home
I want to embrace you and never let you go
Almost hope you're in heaven
so no one can hurt your soul
Living in agony cause I just do not know
Where you are
I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul
Wherever you are, I won't stop searching
Whatever it takes, I need to know
I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul

The singer's pain is palpable in the line "Can't you hear my screams?" expressing the hopelessness of their situation.
The chorus "I'll find you somewhere, I'll keep on trying until my dying day, I just need to know whatever has happened, the truth will free my soul" encapsulates the desperation and determination to find their loved one, no matter the cost. The lyrics "Almost hope you're in heaven so no one can hurt your soul" add another layer of complexity to the song, as the singer is torn between their desire to find their missing loved one and the possibility that they may be gone forever.
Overall, "Somewhere" is a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the raw emotions that come with loss and the unwavering power of love.

"Somewhere"
Lost in the darkness
Hoping for a sign
Instead there's only silence
Can't you hear my screams?
Never stop hoping
Need to know where you are
But one thing's for sure
You're always in my heart
[Chorus:]
I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying
Until my dying day
I just need to know
Whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul
Lost in the darkness
Tried to find your way home
I want to embrace you
And never let you go
Almost hope you're in heaven
So no one can hurt your soul
Living in agony
Cause I just do not know
Where you are
[Chorus]
Wherever you are
I won't stop searching
Whatever it takes me to know
[Chorus]
