Looking beyond the status quo of the modern rock music of today, EARSHOT’s third studio album, slated for release August 2008, marks the start of what some believe is sure to be the beginning of a new and changing modern rock world of tomorrow. No doubt, that in the 48 minutes of listening to the bevy of infectiously memorable tracks, one can only describe this 11 song collection as a very cleverly crafted, re-defined and re-designed approach to their genre with a plethora of sonically raw and defining moments.
EARSHOT signed with Warner Brother’s Records in 2001 and in 2002 released their debut album “Letting Go” which yielded their first anthemic singles such as “Get Away” (which peaked at #4 on the charts and stayed in the top 100 for over 60 weeks), and “Not Afraid”. In 2004 the band released their sophomore effort entitled “Two” which bore the bands breakout single “Wait” (#9) and their follow up single “Someone.”
In early 2005, EARSHOT returned from the road in support of their second release when the panicked state of the recording industry turned its ugly head towards the band. “No one expected another EARSHOT record after that” says vocalist Wil Martin. “We were essentially counted out by many. Our departure from Warner Brothers Records only added to our determination not to let corporate decisions determine our artistic and creative voice. After all, THAT’s what rock music is really all about…believing in yourself, overcoming adversity and taking that chance when the odds are against you.”
In early 2007, EARSHOT signed with InDeGoot / Fontana/ Universal Recordings. Produced by Brian Garcia and co-produced by Wil Martin, the band began the long and tedious task of putting together their nearly 2 yearlong gestations of song ideas. Tracks such as “MisSunderstood”, “Closer”, “Pushing To Shove”, “Wasted”, “Don’t Hate Me” and “Sometimes” are sure to please the EARSHOT faithful, and will undoubtedly serve to quickly convert new fans by songs with a penchant for massive hooks and loud guitars.
Someone
Earshot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For every single time you lied
I'd probably whisper this
Hello, goodbye
And so it begins again
Harder each and every time
I start to reminisce
I never seem to ever find
Someone I can trust
Someone I believe
Someone who will never try
To bring me to my knees
Someday I will find again
Someone just like me
Someone who will take the time
In understanding me
And if I could make up
For every single tear you cried
I'd probably never miss
Your hand in mine
I never could understand
Mistakes I repeat again
I've been through this so many times
Never seem to ever find
I've stopped searching
To take my time and completely clear my head
I believe it was meant to be
And I feel it's time to go
And never leave
And never scream
Someone who believes
Never lies to me
And would die for me
The song "Someone" by Earshot seems to be filled with regrets about past relationships and the search for someone trustworthy and understanding. The first verse talks about how if the person who lied to the singer could make up for every time they did, they might still say hello and goodbye in a whispered tone. The second verse then flips the situation by saying that if the singer could make up for every tear the person cried, they would never want to let go of their hand.
The chorus then becomes a plea for someone who the singer can truly trust and who will not try to bring them down. They long for someone who can understand them and will take the time to do so. However, the bridge speaks to the futility of the singer's search, as they have gone through the same mistakes so many times without finding anyone. But despite this, they resolve to take their time and clear their head in order to find someone they believe was meant to be their partner.
Overall, "Someone" is a poignant song about finding the right person and dealing with the disappointments and heartbreaks that come with searching for that someone special.
Line by Line Meaning
And if you could make up
If you could go back and correct every lie you've ever told me
For every single time you lied
For every instance you've lied to me, intentionally or not
I'd probably whisper this
I would quietly say something to you
Hello, goodbye
A casual greeting, acknowledging that it's time to part ways
And so it begins again
The same cycle of hurt and betrayal is starting again
Harder each and every time
It gets more difficult to come back from each time you hurt me
I start to reminisce
I reflect on the times when things were good between us
I never seem to ever find
I've never been able to find what I'm looking for
Someone I can trust
I need someone who is dependable and honest
Someone I believe
I'm looking for someone I can have faith in
Someone who will never try
I want someone who won't make an effort to harm me in any way
To bring me to my knees
I'm not looking for someone who will make me feel hopeless or powerless
Someday I will find again
I hope to find it after some time
Someone just like me
I want someone who is similar to me in character and morals
Someone who will take the time
I want someone who will invest effort in understanding me
In understanding me
Someone who makes an effort to know me
And if I could make up
If I could make amends for the pain I've caused you
For every single tear you cried
For every tear that you've shed because of me
I'd probably never miss
I wouldn't forget the significance you play in my life
Your hand in mine
The moments we share together
I never could understand
I have always been perplexed by
Mistakes I repeat again
Errors I continue to make time-and-time again
I've been through this so many times
I have allowed myself to be in a vulnerable position numerous times
Never seem to ever find
I'm still looking for the answers
I've stopped searching
I'm not on my pursuit of happiness anymore
To take my time and completely clear my head
I've decided to be patient and work on myself
I believe it was meant to be
I have faith that everything happens for a reason
And I feel it's time to go
I sense that it's time to move forward
And never leave
I want someone who will stick with me through thick and thin
And never scream
I need someone who won't yell, argue, or raise their voice at me
Someone who believes
I need someone who has faith and trust in me
Never lies to me
I want someone who tells me the truth, even when it's difficult
And would die for me
This person would do anything for me, even if it means risking their own life
