Someday
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someday,
Precious stone,
Life goes on,
You have abused and used me,
Now I'm going home,
I want my records back,
To get my heart on track,
Well this woman's here to show you,
Oh, Someday
The lights will fall and you will know,
If you do it slowly,
You might just find it's worth it all,
Precious stone,
Life goes on
You feel used and abused,
Now you're all alone,
How dare you say,
I will be back one day,
You've taken me for granted,
It's time for me to say
Someday he'll be there to hold you baby,
There by the grace a sign,
Someday he'll be there to dry your tears,
I want my records back,
To get my heart on track
You think I can't be alone,
Well this woman's here to show you,
Oh, How dare you say,
I will be back one day,
You've taken me for granted,
You need to find your way.
In Kylie Minogue's song "Someday", the singer is expressing her feelings of being used and abused in a relationship. She starts off by saying "Someday, Someday" as if to give herself the hope that someday things will get better. She compares herself to a precious stone, meaning that she is valuable and should be treated with respect. She tells her partner that he has abused and used her, and she has had enough. She wants her records back, which is a metaphorical way of saying that she wants to get back to who she was before this relationship changed her.
The chorus "You think I can't be alone, well this woman's here to show you, someday" is her way of saying that she doesn't need him and that she can be alone. She is strong and will eventually move on from this hurtful relationship. The part where she says "How dare you say, I will be back one day" shows her frustration with her partner's arrogance in thinking that she will inevitably come back to him. She is taking control of the situation and telling him that he has taken her for granted, and it's time for him to find his way.
Overall, the song is about taking control of one's life and leaving a toxic relationship. It's about standing up for oneself and realizing one's self-worth. The hope of someday things getting better is what keeps the singer going, and she wants her partner to know that he can't hold her down.
