Some Place
Constance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We stand in silence in the night, the crowd is always on the go
People crossing sides and walking by, give me some place where i can go
A rainy mile, lovely ride, down the road
A place where i will never stand, let’s stay here for a while before we go

When i held you in my arms
I could already tell we would be betrayed
By the loss of our own blue skies
Never watch the summer days
Could already tell we were drawn away
Rolling down, shifting sands
Tripping on a one way train, we’d sway and turn around

We need to leave a little space inside, giving way, to goodbyes
A place in which we’ll both walk out, like a call, in the night
Not a word, not a sound, pulled away
Wherever we are, wherever we stand, absence, on the way

When i held you in my arms
I could already tell we would be betrayed
By the loss of our own blue skies
Never watch the summer days
Could already tell we were drawn away




Rolling down, shifting sands
Tripping on a one way train, we’d sway and turn around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Constance's song "Some Place" represent a longing for a secluded place to escape the bustling, noisy city where the singer can be alone with someone. The opening lines of the song provide a sense of urban claustrophobia, with crowds of people constantly moving around the singer, leaving her feeling alone and isolated. The singer desires a "lovely ride" down the road to a "rainy mile" where she can be alone with her lover, where they can stand and talk without the distractions of the city.


However, the lyrics also have an underlying sense of melancholy and foreboding. The singer already knows that they will be betrayed and that they will lose their "own blue skies" and "summer days." The lyrics suggest that the relationship is not meant to last, and they will eventually be pulled away from each other. The repeated verse about knowing they will be betrayed creates a sense of inevitability and loss, adding depth to the singer's desire for a place where she can escape from the harsh reality.


The song's chorus emphasizes the need for space and leaving room for goodbyes, as the singer and her lover pull away from each other. The final lines of the song, "tripping on a one-way train, we'd sway and turn around" suggest that their journey together will end, and they will be left alone to wander.


Line by Line Meaning

We stand in silence in the night, the crowd is always on the go
We are quiet amidst the hustle and bustle of the evening


People crossing sides and walking by, give me some place where i can go
As people pass by going their separate directions, I yearn for a destination to call my own


A rainy mile, lovely ride, down the road
As I travel on this road, I'm surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of a rainy journey


A place where i will never stand, let’s stay here for a while before we go
Let's take some time lingering here; a place where we will never stay for long


When i held you in my arms
The memory of when I embraced you...


I could already tell we would be betrayed
...was when I first knew that we would be let down


By the loss of our own blue skies
Our happiness would eventually be compromised


Never watch the summer days
We were not able to enjoy the carefree days of summer


Could already tell we were drawn away
We were being pulled apart and growing apart


Rolling down, shifting sands
The passage of time and changing circumstances felt like sand slipping through our fingers


Tripping on a one way train, we’d sway and turn around
Although we were heading in one direction, we were going back and forth and lost


We need to leave a little space inside, giving way, to goodbyes
To make room for farewell, we must establish some emotional distance


A place in which we’ll both walk out, like a call, in the night
A location we can both exit silently, like a voice in the dark


Not a word, not a sound, pulled away
Suddenly separated, we didn't say a word or utter a sound


Wherever we are, wherever we stand, absence, on the way
Despondence and vacancy will follow us, wherever and however far we go
