Some Day
Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got my talking socks
Behind this painted box
I'm putting on a show
Can't see the strings
My mother thinks
I should take it on the road

These things I'm trying on and every hat feels wrong
There's no flair
I strike a pose and bust a vogue and think
When will I get there?

Someday I'll know
If I left me on my own
How far would I go?
Someday I'll know
Someday I'll know

Throw on some nylon pants
And bust a Hammer dance
I'm kicking moves to "You Can't Touch This"
Tucked in my corduroys
I've got my Beastie Boys tape
Fight for my right to party though I'm not invited

Feel like Darth Vader with this helmet on my head
I can't see
I'm in there somewhere past the plastic shield
When will I find me?

Someday I'll know
If I left me on my own
How far would I go?
Someday I'll know

Someday I won't be so self-defeating
Won't kick me when I'm bleeding
I'll do a high-dive from the high-point of my roof
I'll be the smoothest dancer
And I'll have all the answers
I'll take the stand and raise my hands
And the band will play

Someday I'll know
If I left me on my own
How far would I go?
Someday I'll know

Someday I'll know
If I left me on my own
How far would I go?
Someday I'll know
Someday I'll know
Someday I'll know




Someday I'll know
Someday I'll know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to King's song "Someday" speak to the experience of trying new things and feeling uncertain about how far one can go. The opening line about "talking socks" behind a "painted box" introduces a playful image of a performance or show. The singer is experimenting with different hats and poses, but feels like something is missing. They wonder when they will "get there," suggesting a desire for a clearer sense of identity or purpose.


The second verse continues the theme of trying on different personas, including a Hammer dance and a Beastie Boys tape. The singer is again unsure of themselves, feeling like they are "in there somewhere past the plastic shield." The repetition of "When will I find me?" highlights the ongoing search for self-discovery.


The final verse is the most hopeful, imagining a future where the singer is not "self-defeating" and has all the answers. They envision themselves as a confident and skilled dancer, unafraid to take risks and stand up for themselves. The repeated refrain of "someday I'll know" suggests a sense of determination to keep trying and growing.


Overall, the lyrics to "Someday" convey a relatable feeling of uncertainty and self-doubt in the face of new experiences, while also offering a hopeful vision of a future where one has found their footing.
