Someone somewhere
Asking Alexandria - Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
It was you that told me I could do this
You put the music in my heart
And how you sang with the band in memphis
I like to imagine you smile when you hear my songs
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
A letter home and I know we don't speak much
And we both know I'm not keen to but I think there's things I've left unsaid
I'm okay don't worry
I wish I'd been a better kid
I'm trying to slow down
I'm sorry for letting you down
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
You know it's just rock and roll
I know you're by my side through it all
My terror twin and I
Let's take over the world
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
Asking Alexandria's Someone, Somewhere is a song that showcases the band's emo roots with the powerful lyrics that tell the story of a struggling musician who, despite being away from home, knows that there's someone who is always praying for him to make it back. The opening verse, "Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone / Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home" sets the tone of the song and touches the sensitive strings of anyone who's ever left their family and friends behind to chase their dreams.
The second verse features a nostalgic, almost regretful tone, where the singer recalls someone who believed in him when he didn't even believe in himself, "It was you that told me I could do this / You put the music in my heart / And how you sang with the band in Memphis / It's hard just to be strong, not knowing if I've done you proud." The fact that he's trying to imagine that person smiling when they hear his songs shows how important their support is to him.
The song then ends on a positive note as the singer reaches out to his family in a letter and apologizes for not being the perfect kid that they wanted him to be, "I'm okay, don't worry / I wish I'd been a better kid / I'm trying to slow down / I'm sorry for letting you down." He acknowledges that he needs a home sweet home to call his own, and the final lines of the song are a call-to-action for his fans as he and his "terror twin" take over the world.
