Some Things
Rob Crow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't remember if I
Read that far
But some things stay with me
Can't remember what time of day
To do certain things I'm supposed to
But some thing stay with me
You'd have my back for now and
Forever
What's that way you make
That soul bleed
Guts on the floor
Disembowled over you
Hall of mirrors, overtime
Just polish and a rag
What's your codec?
Eliminate the static cling
To the ceiling like a
Giant sticky hand
Never afraid to admit to
Love another man
Sick of the sight of me
Jedi Academy
Boring Fatality like a
Record with a blank sleeve
Why the same thing one more time?
Why depress me on my dime?
Want to see something that I've
Never seen before
Wanna see a monkey and
A clown do semifore
Something, somewhere
Someone, somehow
Same thing
Endless
A new letter spelling
Glitter Terror Palindrome
From the Desk of Never Been
There Naysay
Heaven doesn't matter
And you never ever go home
Calm the voices saying
"This thing" to you
Meaning "This thing from you"
Shouting "That thing"
Far behind you
There is nothing
There is no rest
No sleep
Nothing in your mind
After 15 minutes
Good as gone
The lyrics to Rob Crow's song "Some Things" are filled with abstract and cryptic imagery, making it a particularly intriguing piece of music. The song appears to delve into themes of memory, time, and loss. It begins with the singer opening an old book and struggling to recall whether he had read that part before. Yet, despite this forgetfulness, certain things stick with him - like the promise of someone having his back.
The lyrics then take a surreal turn, with descriptions of bleeding souls, disemboweled guts, and a "hall of mirrors." There are also cryptic references to "codec" and "Jedi Academy" - suggesting a kind of futuristic setting. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Something, somewhere, someone, somehow" and describes an endless monotony. The final lines suggest a sense of despair and hopelessness; after just 15 minutes, the singer's mind is already "good as gone."
Line by Line Meaning
Open up an old book to a part
Start reading an old book from any chapter and verse
And I can't remember if I
Uncertain of whether I have read this before
Read that far
Reached that part of the book
But some things stay with me
Certain memories remain unforgettable
Can't remember what time of day
I don't recall the timing for certain tasks
To do certain things I'm supposed to
For tasks that are obligatory for me to do
But some thing stay with me
However, certain things are easy to recall forever
Like the time that you said
The moment you declared
You'd have my back for now and
When you promised to support me currently and
Forever
in the future permanently
What's that way you make
In what manner do you cause
That soul bleed
Pain something internally
Guts on the floor
Intestines scattered all around
Disembowled over you
eviscerated due to your actions
Hall of mirrors, overtime
Repetitive reflection in the mirror
Just polish and a rag
Cleaning the mirror with just some cloth
What's your codec?
What's your standard for compression and decompression?
Eliminate the static cling
Removing interference, so nothing hinders communication
To the ceiling like a
As if stuck to the roof like a
Giant sticky hand
Large adhesive appendage
Never afraid to admit to
Unafraid of confessing
Love another man
Romantically inclined towards a fellow human male
Sick of the sight of me
Fed up of my appearance
Jedi Academy
Training like a master of the Jedi Order
Boring Fatality like a
Lacking creativity and deadly like
Record with a blank sleeve
An album without any artwork or songs
Why the same thing one more time?
What's the point of repeating the same thing once again?
Why depress me on my dime?
Why do something that drains me on my own expense?
Want to see something that I've
I'm eager to witness something that I have
Never seen before
Something novel and unique
Wanna see a monkey and
Desire to catch sight of a primate and
A clown do semaphore
And a comic actor signaling with flags
Something, somewhere
Anything or anyone, anytime, anywhere
Someone, somehow
A mysterious entity or manner
Same thing
Repetition of an object or action
Endless
Infinity without a limit
A new letter spelling
A latest alphabet that forms
Glitter Terror Palindrome
A scary glittery word sequence that reads the same forward and backward
From the Desk of Never Been
Authored by someone who has never traveled to that place
There Naysay
One who criticizes and opposes everything with negativism
Heaven doesn't matter
Paradise isn't relevant
And you never ever go home
And you can never return to where you belong
Calm the voices saying
Suppressing the inner dialogues that read
"This thing" to you
Making suggestions that concern you
Meaning "This thing from you"
Conveying that those thoughts are emerging from within
Shouting "That thing"
While yelling out another idea
Far behind you
Now stationed at a distant location
There is nothing
Nothing actually exists
There is no rest
Without peace or quietude
No sleep
Without a state of slumber
Nothing in your mind
No thoughts occupying your head
After 15 minutes
Once 900 seconds have passed
Good as gone
Completely lost
