Sometimes
Seabird Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes it's alright to just stay at home
Sometimes it's ok if we lose our minds
Sometimes it's the only way out of a fight
So maybe we'll fall before we take flight
Maybe you're all I've got to lose
And they say it's gray, but we see it white
And sometimes there's only so much we can take
And by the time you arrived, we needed a break
Sometimes it's ok if we lose our minds
Sometimes it's the only way out of a fight
So maybe we'll fall before we take flight
Maybe you're all I've got to lose
And they say it's gray, but we see it white
And if I'm lost, thank God I'm lost with you
It's ok to fight back, it's alright if you lose
It's ok to give up, we'll still love you if you do
So maybe we'll fall before we take flight
Maybe you're all I've got to lose
And they say it's gray, but we see it white
And if I'm lost, thank God I'm lost with you
It's ok if you fight back, it's alright if you lose
It's ok to give up, we'll still love you if you do
The lyrics to Seabird's song "Sometimes" reflects upon the struggles and challenges that come along with life. The song begins with pointing out the fact that sometimes it's good to be alone and stay home. It can be overwhelming to constantly be surrounded by people and the expectations that come with being social. This doesn't mean that being alone is always the answer to our problems, but sometimes taking a step back can allow us to regain clarity and focus.
The lines "Sometimes it's ok if we lose our minds, sometimes it's the only way out of a fight" touch on the idea that losing oneself can be a way to avoid conflict, which ultimately can be detrimental to us. When we are caught up in the heat of the moment, it's difficult to think clearly and rationally. Losing oneself can prevent us from hurting those around us.
The bridge of the song is the most impactful part. It highlights the fact that life is not always easy and that we may fall before we can fly. But having someone to lean on, someone who you may lose along the way, is comforting. The lyrics "Maybe you're all I've got to lose, and if I'm lost, thank God I'm lost with you" are powerful and show the importance of having support through thick and thin.
Overall, "Sometimes" is a song that reminds us that life is chaotic and that we all have our struggles. However, through it all, it's important to have people who we can rely on, even if we may lose them along the way.
