Someday
Moby Grape Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someday,
Tomorrow will come.
Though I'm not afraid of today,
That's for sure.

You laughed at me,
For the last time.
You've got to understand,
It just wasn't in the plan.

To me, your life has ended,
When I said goodbye to you.

Ah ha ha, you laughed at me,
For the last time.
Now there's nothing left,
Tired of playing games.

Your mind is lost,
In a world that wasn't made for you,




Though I feel the same way, too
I still got things to do.

There are two kinds of people in the world; those who appreciate what a brilliant album Moby Grape’s first LP was, and those poor sad souls who never heard it.

Right?! No one I know has ever even heard of Moby Grape :,( Hopefully I listen to them enough that I am instilling it deeply in the collective unconscious for the rest of us newer generations

José Candal

This song gives me chills all over my spine every time I hear it.
It's so fuckin' beautiful....just like the rest of the album....a true masterpiece.

Marcel De Gross

This is one of the greatest rock -n-roll albums ever produced - EVER -

Choadwanger

The vocals and harmonies are just beautiful. Piercing and gorgeous.

Frank Drake

"Your mind is lost, in a world that wasn't made for you, though I feel the same way too, I've still got some things to do.' - The fantastic voice of Rob Mosley is so boss it just gives me chills.

Michael Becchina

I just love this piece of the song. It is so, so soulful. I didn't know it was Mosely. What a tremendous band. So sad they were derailed by bad management and silly promotion.

Dan G

I love that you said "boss"

Phil Esparza

Frank Drake; I was only twelve when my older brother played this album and particularly this song, and even at my age this song put the hook in me and to this day I haven’t forgotten it.
