Esperanza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someday, someday
Yeah, it hurts to say, but I want you to stay
Sometimes, sometimes
When we was young, oh man, did we have fun
Always, always
Promises, they break before they're made
Oh, my ex says I'm lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darlin', your head's not right
See, alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Oh, someday...
No, I ain't wastin' no more time
And now my fears
They come to me in threes
So, I
Sometimes
Say, "Fate my friend,
You say the strangest things
I find, sometimes"
Oh, my ex says I'm lacking in depth
Say I will try my best
You say you wanna stand by my side
Darlin', your head's not right
See, alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Oh, someday...
I ain't wasting no more time...
The lyrics to Esperanza’s song Someday reveal a complex mix of emotions including nostalgia, defiance, and introspection. The lines “In many ways, they'll miss the good old days, Someday, someday” begin the song on a wistful note that sets the tone for the rest of the track. The singer muses on the transience and subtle betrayals of youth, saying “promises, they break before they're made, sometimes, sometimes.” The song’s narrator then seemingly responds to criticism from an ex-lover, who accuses her of being “lacking in depth”. She pledges to do her best but acknowledges that her partner “your head’s not right.”
The song is punctuated by the refrain “Oh, someday… no, I ain’t wasting no more time.” In this way, the singer’s thoughts seem to be simultaneously rooted in nostalgia for the past and a determination to move forward. She reflects on the passage of time and the precariousness of relationships, but also comes to the conclusion that she has to keep working hard and pushing forward despite the challenges.
