Giving their brand of euphoric rock a sharper, slicker edge, Every Avenue explores themes of lust, temptation and self-acceptance on new album Bad Habits' 10 driving tracks, solidifying their place in the next breed of strong contenders in pop rock. Their third full-length sees the band lacing their infectious melodies with a glimpse of a darker side, embracing their next phase with the passion of a band truly defining their sound and making it their own.
Making their mark through hard work, the stunning vocal stylings of singer Dave Strauchman and an unfaltering belief in their brand of quality rock tunes, the Motor City five-piece has exploded from hometown shows to international success in a few short years. The band has been a staple on the rock circuit since 2004, clocking up tours with All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Metro Station and Hey Monday, and was featured in Alternative Press' Most Anticipated Albums 2011. The band's single "Tell Me I'm A Wreck" was in high rotation on Sirius Hits 1, with several weeks appearance on the 20 on 20 chart in fall 2010, and the poignant video resonated with fans worldwide, picking up airplay on MTV2 and was named Kerrang! TV's Video Of The Week. With an entire summer of Vans Warped Tour in front of them, Every Avenue stands defiant, a stable of killer tracks under their belts, poised to take Bad Habits to new heights.
Someday Somehow
Every Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I take a slow drag and my mind slips away
Away, away
It's a long night down the 95
Trying to beat the sunrise,
Staying up all night
I'm not sleeping till I cross the state line
Someday, somehow,
I'll make it home and I, I'll stick around
One day I'll say,
"No more packing up,
I'm settling down."
Someday, someday I'll figure it out,
Someday, somehow
High school sweetheart serving,
Broken spirits at the local bar
First love with a new last name, yeah
Next stop, my old home
It's got a new front porch,
Where flowers used to grow
Everybody has something to show,
I've got a thousand different stories,
And nothing to hold
Someday, somehow,
I'll make it home and I, I'll stick around
One day I'll say,
"No more packing up,
I'm settling down."
Someday, someday I'll figure it out,
Someday, somehow
No more birthdays from the telephone,
No more holidays spent alone,
No more asking when I'm coming home
I, I, I'm sticking around
Yeah
Someday, somehow,
I'll make it home and I, I'll stick around
One day I'll say,
"No more packing up,
I'm settling down."
Someday, someday I'll figure it out,
Someday, somehow
Someday, somehow
Someday, somehow
The opening lines of Every Avenue's song "Someday Somehow" depict a late-night drive on a long, winding stretch of road, where the singer seems reflective and introspective. He takes a "slow drag" and loses himself to thoughts of home, where his mind is fixated on the idea of settling down, planting roots, and staying in one place. The singer longs for the day when he can say "no more packing up, I'm settling down", suggesting that he has lived a life on the move or traveled extensively. The song seems to be about the tension between the wanderlust of youth and the eventual desire for stability and rootedness that comes with age. The singer is restless, but he knows that someday, somehow, things will fall into place, and he will finally find the place he can call home.
The second verse introduces a melancholic chord, as the singer reminisces about past loves and old homes, which have all but faded away. He paints an image of his "old home" with a "new front porch," where "flowers used to grow," imbuing the scenery with a sense of nostalgia and loss. The singer is "sticking around" because he wants to be present for the important moments in life, such as birthdays and holidays, instead of being an absentee member who calls in from afar. He strives to find a sense of purpose, a place to settle down, and a sense of belonging.
Line by Line Meaning
Headlights burning on the interstate pavement
Driving late at night on the highway, lost in thought
I take a slow drag and my mind slips away
Smoking a cigarette and daydreaming
It's a long night down the 95
Traveling a great distance on the highway
Trying to beat the sunrise,
Trying to travel quickly enough to arrive before the sun rises
Staying up all night
Forcing oneself to stay awake
I'm not sleeping till I cross the state line
Not allowing oneself to sleep until crossing into another state
Someday, somehow, I'll make it home and I, I'll stick around
Believing that someday they will be able to return home and stay there
One day I'll say, "No more packing up, I'm settling down"
Determined to stop moving and establish a permanent home
Someday, someday I'll figure it out, Someday, somehow
Hoping to eventually find a sense of direction and purpose in life
High school sweetheart serving, Broken spirits at the local bar
Former love interest now working at a bar and seems unhappy
First love with a new last name, yeah
Reflecting on past relationships and how they have changed
Next stop, my old home
Heading to the place they once considered their true home
It's got a new front porch, Where flowers used to grow
The house has changed since they lived there
Everybody has something to show, I've got a thousand different stories, And nothing to hold
Everyone has something to share about their life, while they feel that they have nothing to show for their own
No more birthdays from the telephone, No more holidays spent alone, No more asking when I'm coming home I, I, I'm sticking around
Determined to be present for important events and not miss out on life anymore
Someday, somehow, I'll make it home and I, I'll stick around
Repeating their hope for a permanent home
One day I'll say, "No more packing up, I'm settling down"
Restating their determination to end their constant moving
Someday, someday I'll figure it out, Someday, somehow
Repeating their hope to find direction and purpose in life
Someday, somehow
Repeating their hopeful phrase once more
