The band Reamonn began in 1990 in Freiburg, Germany with a classified advertisment from Rea in the paper. "Irish singer is looking for band for recording and tour". It didn't take long for Mike to contact Rea. He knew Sebi, who played in a band with Uwe. Uwe told Phil about the project they were doing and suddenly he was there too. Reamonn was born...
Reamonn is currently on hiatus, with vocalist Rea Garvey focusing on his solo career at the moment.
Sometimes
Reamonn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Begin to slip
She's loosing her grip
On herself
And when she wants more
Oh no, no
She can't have more
Oh no, no
A life that she deserves
She said Sometimes
You 're asking yourself why
You feel you can't get by
You feel you're crawling on your knees
A voice from inside
Oh no, no
Is telling her lies
Oh no, no
Her dreams come crashing down
Like a burning sky at night
No longer a child
You are the one
You can't deny
What you have become
It can't hurt you
But it can eat you up inside
She said sometimes
You're asking yourself why
You feel you can't get by
You feel you're crawling on your knees
She said sometimes
You're asking yourself why
You feel you can't get by
You're sick of begging, begging please
And now you stand up
And look them straight in the eyes
You 're not believing their lies
Your taking it straight from the heart
It's time for a new start
Time for a new start
Cause if it's not love well
It's not enough
You deserve more yeah
More than what you've got
Inside a voice is screaming
Get off your knees
Get up
She screams
Sometimes
Sometimes their lies are their disguise
Sometimes the beautiful will cry
You're reaching inside
And now you're floating like a breeze
And saying goodbye
The song "Sometimes" by Reamonn talks about a woman who feels like she is losing control of her life. The words on her lips begin to slip and she feels like she is holding back a life that she deserves. She can't have more, and her dreams come crashing down like a burning sky at night. Her voice from inside is telling her lies, and sometimes the beautiful will cry.
However, the song eventually takes a turn for the better as the woman becomes fed up with feeling like she can't get by and begging for something more. She decides to stand up and look them straight in the eyes and take it straight from the heart. It's time for a new start, and she deserves more than what she's got. She screams and says goodbye to the lies and deceit that have been holding her back.
Overall, the song is about taking control of your life and not settling for less than you deserve. It's about having the courage to stand up for yourself and realizing that you have the power to create a new start for yourself. It's about believing in yourself and your abilities and not letting anyone else tell you who or what you are.
