Somewhere
Fair Warning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was drifting with the wind -
I chased my own reflections
Through the whirl that i was in -
I turned around now -
I made up my mind
The hunger for the freeway
It is burnin' in my blood -
I can never get enough -
The way i feel - it blows my mind
And i can feel the turn of time
Somewhere out there - i see it shine
Just like a rainbow -
Somewhere out there - cast in the sky
Just like a sign -
Somewhere out there - there'll be a time
When we're together -
Somewhere down the line -
The open road before me
Like a neverending stream -
It takes a new direction
To a world i've never seen -
The nights of sorrow -
They fade away
And i can feel the break of day
Somewhere out there - i see it shine
Just like a rainbow -
Somewhere out there - cast in the sky
Just like a sign -
Somewhere out there - there'll be a time
When we're together -
Somewhere down the line -
Somewhere down the line -
And if my heart goes down in circles
One more time -
I know the answer in my mind -
Somewhere out there - i see it shine
Just like a rainbow -
Somewhere out there - cast in the sky
Just like a sign -
Somewhere out there - there'll be a time
When we're together -
Somewhere down the line -
Somewhere down the line -
The song "Somewhere" by Fair Warning talks about the journey of life that the singer is on. He recounts a time when he was lost and was drifting with the wind. He chased his own reflections and was caught up in the whirlwind of his own thoughts. But he has made up his mind now and his hunger for the freeway is burning in his blood. He can never have enough because the way he feels simply blows his mind. However, he can feel the turn of time and sees a shining rainbow somewhere out there cast in the sky like a sign. He knows that there will be a time when he and his loved one will be together, and the song ends on a hopeful note, with the assurance that the answer lies somewhere out there, and he will find it someday.
The metaphor of the open road in the song signifies the journey of life that we all go through. It's a journey that's full of twists and turns and takes us to new directions we've never seen before. The nights of sorrow that fade into the break of day symbolize the fact that there will be hard times in life, but we must seek the light and move forward, no matter how tough the road may seem, as somewhere out there, we will find what we're looking for.
