Somewhere Only We Know
Darren Criss and the Warblers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go? So why don't we go?
Oh, this could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
The lyrics to "Somewhere Only We Know" by Darren Criss and the Warblers tell the story of someone searching for a place to belong. The song begins with the singer describing a journey through an empty land, feeling the earth beneath their feet, and finding a sense of completion by sitting by the river. However, the singer is searching for something more substantial to rely on as they get older. They come across a fallen tree and wonder if it's the same place they used to love and dream about.
The chorus repeats the question, "Oh simple thing, where have you gone?" as the singer longs for stability and purpose. They ask for someone to "let me in" and "somewhere to begin," indicating a desire for connection and direction. The bridge offers a solution - going somewhere only they know and talking about it, which could potentially save them from the end of everything. The song ends with a hopeful repeat of the title, "Somewhere Only We Know."
Overall, the lyrics of the song convey the universal human desire for a place to belong and connect with others. The singer seems to be feeling lost and searching for meaning and stability, but also recognizes the power of shared experience and connection. The imagery of the journey through the empty land and the fallen tree symbolize the search for something more, but also represent the potential to discover it in unexpected places.

I walked across an empty land
I traversed through a deserted area
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I was familiar with the course like the palm of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
I sensed the soil under my soles
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
I relaxed by the watercourse which supplied me with a sense of fulfillment.
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
Where did the easy solution disappear to?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
I am aging and require something dependable
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
So inform me of when I am permitted to enter
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
I am exhausted and yearning for a starting point.
I came across a fallen tree
I encountered a felled tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
I sensed the limbs gazing at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the location once cherished by us?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Is this the place that I've been fantasizing about?
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
And if you possess a minute, why don't we travel
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
Share words about it at a place that only us know of?
This could be the end of everything
This could signal the conclusion of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
So why don't we journey to a place only we know of?
Somewhere only we know
A location only us know of.
Oh, this could be the end of everything
Oh, this could signify the finale of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
So why don't we go to a place only we know of?
Somewhere only we know
A place that is only familiar to us.

Darren is an amazing actor. Not once in the entire show did I not see his love for Kurt. He showed real physical connection and real love and he was just playing a role. So impressive. And his voice is beautiful.
@knoxf.9886
His voice is so calming. I don’t know what it is, but it’s amazing. He’s so cool
@nicky3367
I’ve never seen glee. (Gonna watch it soon) but I know Darren from Starkid and people said he was in glee and I just became obsessed with his character
@knoxf.9886
Nicky He’s also in The Assassination of Gianni Versace and he’s incredible. I highly suggest it. It’s intense though
