Take Me Somewhere
Santiago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to see you sleeping And all the time I was alone in the basement All the time Smoking cigarettes and wondering where our hopes and fears went Summer dreams come and take me home I never looked back but I never felt so alone It's hard sometimes when you make it on your own But if the sun comes up I'll just keep on keeping on When did we get so old? No one ever seems to know We're running 'round in circles trying to go somewhere To a place that was probably never really there And all the time You were alone in your bedroom All the time With all of those songs you thought would save you Summer dreams come and take me home I never looked back but I never felt so alone It's hard sometimes when you make it on your own But if the sun comes up I'll just keep on keeping on Summer dreams come and take me home I never looked back but I never felt so alone It's hard sometimes when you make it on your own But if the sun comes up I'll just keep on keeping on
In Santiago's song "Take Me Somewhere," the artist paints a picture of nostalgia and longing for a more carefree time. The song starts with the lyrics "I'm dreaming California, I'm California dreaming," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for a longing for a sunny and happy place. The singer then wakes up to see someone they care about sleeping, possibly a lover or a friend. The song then reflects on the past, where the singer and another person were both alone and struggling with their hopes and fears. The singer then reflects on their journey towards success, which was difficult and isolating at times. However, despite the difficulties, the singer is determined to keep going, even if it means facing their fears and uncertainties.
The line "When did we get so old? No one ever seems to know" can be seen as a lament for lost time and missed opportunities. The song then talks about the pursuit of a better life, with the line "We're running 'round in circles trying to go somewhere / To a place that was probably never really there." This line speaks to the ultimately futile nature of the pursuit of happiness and success, as these things can never truly be achieved. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, with the singer determined to keep moving forward despite the difficulties.
Overall, "Take Me Somewhere" is an introspective and contemplative song that speaks to the universal human experiences of longing for a better life, reflecting on the past, and persevering in the face of hardship.
