Someday
Gable Price and Friends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the rubber
Hit the road
Couple thousand miles
Middle child, slowly finding out all the things that he doesn't know
Twenty something
Or old and gray
In a way we're all just kids headed off to college
Drowning just to make a wave
Someday
The gold will turn to gray
And every domino along the road was proof that we regrow
Someday
When your waist line
Starts to grow
Think I lost myself
On the shoreline of Monterrey
In the twilight
On the golden coast
Its getting hard to dream when we sleep through another earthquake
Living's just the price we pay
Someday
The gold will turn to gray
And every domino along the road was proof that we regrow
Scars fade
The deepest cuts will close
Every scrape and scab we used to have is proof that we regrow
Someday
I was just the boy with the poise of a midwest king
My roots grow underneath
I am still a child with my eyes glued to the sky
My roots go on for miles
I am still a kid with my fist planted in the ground
My roots go down down down
You can't dig 'em up
You can't dig 'em up
You can't dig my roots up
You can't dig 'em up
You can't dig 'em up
You can't dig my roots up
Someday
The gold will turn to gray
And every domino along the road was proof that we regrow
Scars fade
The deepest cuts will close
Every scrape and scab we used to have is proof that we regrow
Someday
Someday
Someday

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Someday" by Gable Price and Friends speak to the universal truth of growing up and growing old. The lyrics begin by painting the picture of a "middle child" who is "slowly finding out all the things that he doesn't know." This image can be interpreted as the journey of self-discovery that we all go through, whether in our twenties or in old age. The lyrics then diverge into more specific experiences - the memories of a past love on the beaches of Monterrey, the difficulty in dreaming when our reality is so unstable. But throughout it all, the lyrics emphasize the idea that growth is not always easy or painless but that every scar, cut, and scrape is proof that we will "regrow" and come out stronger on the other side. The final lyrics "You can't dig my roots up" suggest a sense of pride in the journey of growth and the person we've become as a result.


The song is a beautiful, introspective reflection on life, aging, and personal growth. The use of metaphors to convey the idea of growth is particularly effective- the regrowth suggested by scars and the deep roots that can't be dug up convey a sense of resilience and persistence. The emphasis on the idea that we are all just kids heading off to college despite our age is also relatable and universal, reminding us that we are all continuing to learn and grow no matter how old we are.
