Escape With Romeo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
circling planets will never stop
I’m in the canalisation
and now
I’m coming to the top
there’s a train that goes backwards
and a will to survive
black spots (they) cover my life
REF:
Feel the move
start to groove
as I fade
you should know that I never wait
for somebody...........
I fell in love with my killer
this is hijacked emotion
throwing kisses with a machine gun
in the name of devotion
and you feel good in your prison
how long is that going fine
out in the critical distance...............
I can make the rules of the game
The lyrics of Escape With Romeo's "Somebody" speak to the theme of being trapped or imprisoned, whether it be physically or emotionally. The opening lines suggest a sense of constant movement and a feeling of being stuck in a never-ending cycle. The reference to circling planets adds to the idea of being trapped in a never-ending loop. The use of the word "canalisation" could be interpreted as being trapped in a small, confined space, thus intensifying the feeling of being trapped. However, the line "I'm coming to the top" suggests a glimmer of hope or a chance of escape from the situation.
The lyrics then transition into describing a person who is willing to do anything to survive, even if it means walking on "razorblades" or enduring hardship. The reference to black spots covering one's life could be interpreted as a metaphor for struggles and challenges that make life difficult. The repeated refrain encourages the listener to feel the move and start to groove, implying that one should keep moving forward even in the face of adversity.
The lyrics then take an unexpected turn, describing falling in love with one's killer or being in a situation of hijacked emotion. The image of throwing kisses with a machine gun in the name of devotion suggests a sense of conflicting emotions and violent passion. The final lines suggest a sense of detachment or distancing from the situation, with the singer being able to make the rules of the game from a critical distance.
Overall, "Somebody" presents a complex web of emotions and situations, encouraging the listener to keep moving forward in the face of adversity, but also acknowledging the difficulty of being trapped in difficult or violent situations.
Line by Line Meaning
Yes you keep me in motion
You motivate me and keep me moving forward in life
circling planets will never stop
No matter what happens, life around me will continue as usual
I’m in the canalisation
I feel trapped and stuck in an unpleasant situation
and now, I’m coming to the top
But now I'm beginning to see a way out and making my way towards success
there’s a train that goes backwards
Life can feel like it's going in reverse, with little or no progress at times
and a will to survive
But I have the determination and strength to keep going no matter what
I feel like walking on razorblades
My life is filled with danger and uncertainty, like walking a fine line
black spots (they) cover my life
There are negative aspects of my life that overshadow everything else
Feel the move
Get into the rhythm and feel the music
start to groove
Start moving to the beat and enjoying yourself
as I fade
Even as my energy wanes
you should know that I never wait for somebody...........
I won't wait around for someone else to make things happen for me
I fell in love with my killer
I'm drawn to something or someone that may ultimately harm me
this is hijacked emotion
My feelings are out of control and taking over my life
throwing kisses with a machine gun
I'm making grand gestures, though they may ultimately do more harm than good
in the name of devotion
But I'm doing it out of love and loyalty
and you feel good in your prison
Someone else may be content with their own limitations and struggles
how long is that going fine
But how long will they be able to maintain that facade?
out in the critical distance...............
But from a distance, it's easy to see the flaws and negative aspects of the situation
I can make the rules of the game
Ultimately, I have the power to make my own decisions and control my own life

33 years now and still a masterpiece from 80´s. I’ve been listening to this song here for almost 8 years and every time I listen to it, it feels like the first time ❤. P.S. I saw this band live. They are fantastic!

Sabía que existía, esta canción la escuché el año pasado y estuve literalmente horas y horas buscándola y no la encontraba y en más de una ocasión me dí por vencido pero en mi cabeza algo me decía que no pare y seguí, hasta que ya cansado de buscar en todos los lugares que se me ocurría, usando todos los trucos entré a una página que tenía millones de canciones, era una página buscadora de canciones y entonces la busqué con el título que recordaba, "Somebody" y durante más de 20 minutos en dicha página bajando y bajando la encontré. Algunos me dijeron que la canción no existía, pero yo sabía que era real. Y en más de una ocasión me pregunté si no la había soñado, pero la encontré

@@argjuan6137 ah, entiendo 😛. Esta música es muy vieja ya. Puedes escuchar "the Bolshoi, away", o "damned, the shadow of love", son del mismo estilo y época, si es lo que te gusta.
