Somewhere Else
Indians Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything is perfect they're letting go of the past
Stop in the middle with a dream in my head
Living the moment up on the edge
Somewhere else, but you are somewhere else
Rocks form the house it is falling apart
Floating in the river ohoh holding your hand
Oh girl, red blood, I am your man
Somewhere else, but you are somewhere else
All i gotta do is go back
cause I lost my heart in a foreign place
All i got to do is go back
cause I lost my heart to you
But you are somewhere else, but you are somewhere else
The lyrics to the song "Somewhere Else" by Indians is a reflection of being lost in a dream-like state. The opening line, "Caught in a minute in a dream that I had" sets the tone of a person who is experiencing a moment of clarity in their thoughts, as they move forward from their past. The singer speaks of the freedom and the bliss that comes with letting go of the past and living in the present moment. The lines "Everything is perfect they're letting go of the past/ Stop in the middle with a dream in my head/Living the moment up on the edge" encapsulate the idea of living in the present, in a state of mindfulness and peace.
The song poetizes a romantic relationship as being the cause of the singer's peace and happiness. The words "Rocks form the house it is falling apart/ Everything feels right right here, right from the start/ Floating in the river ohohholding your hand/ Oh girl, red blood, I am your man" imply that the love and tenderness that is shared between the two people is something that the singer cherishes and yearns for. The song ends on a poignant and melancholic note with the lines "All I gotta do is go back/ cause I lost my heart to a foreign place/ All I gotta do is to go back/ cause I lost my heart to you/ But you are somewhere else, but you are somewhere else." The final verses create a lasting impression of the loss and longing that the singer experiences, having their love and heart in a foreign place.

The situation is ideal, as those involved are abandoning past negative experiences
Stop in the middle with a dream in my head
I pause amid my thoughts due to the dream in my head
Living the moment up on the edge
I'm taking advantage of the current moment and pushing my limits
Somewhere else, but you are somewhere else
I am longing to be in a different place than where I currently am, while recognizing that the individual I desire is similarly elsewhere

The house is constructed from rocks, but it is deteriorating

Despite the home's degradation, everything feels right from the very beginning
Floating in the river ohoh holding your hand
In this moment, I feel as though I'm floating in the river with my significant other's hand interlaced with mine
Oh girl, red blood, I am your man
I am your partner, and my passion for you courses through my veins
All i gotta do is go back
Going back to a previous location is all that is required of me
cause I lost my heart in a foreign place
I left my heart in a strange location, and now I'm obligated to return to retrieve it
But you are somewhere else, but you are somewhere else
Again, I recognize that the person I long for is not physically present and likely elsewhere in location
