Somebody Somewhere
The Listening Pool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody somewhere
Cries out from the inside
Of my mind
We've got the rest of our lives
To live for the moment
And watch all the good times
Hooked by the drug of your lives
I'll drown in the water
That flows down from your eyes
To my lips
Someone just pulled me aside
I wait for a warning
But it's only your pride
That sounds in my ears
Yeah, it's alright
So when you feel my pain
You can tell me just the same
That it's alright

The Listening Pool's "Somebody Somewhere" is a poignant song about longing and hope. The opening lines, "Wake up let's go for a ride, Somebody somewhere cries out from the inside of my mind," immediately set a nostalgic and slightly melancholic tone. The song speaks to the human experience of feeling lost, disconnected, and searching for meaning. The lyrics suggest that life is short, and we should embrace every moment and cherish the good times. The lines, "We've got the rest of our lives to live for the moment and watch all the good times come back again," express a desire to live fully and appreciate every experience.
The imagery in the song is vivid and powerful. The image of drowning in the water that flows down from your eyes to my lips is particularly striking. It suggests a deep emotional connection and a willingness to be vulnerable. The lines, "Someone just pulled me aside, I wait for a warning, but it's only your pride that sounds in my ears," speak to the difficulty we all face in accepting criticism and feedback, especially when it comes from someone we care about. The song is ultimately about hope, about believing that things will get better and that even in the darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of light.
Line by Line Meaning
Wake up let's go for a ride
Let's seize the day and embark on a journey together
Somebody somewhere
There is a person feeling a strong emotion in a distant place
Cries out from the inside
Expresses deep feelings from the core of their being
Of my mind
Within the realm of my thoughts and consciousness
We've got the rest of our lives
We have a whole lifetime ahead of us
To live for the moment
To make the most of every second without worrying too much about the future
And watch all the good times
To appreciate and relish in all the positive experiences we encounter
Come back again
To realize that nothing lasts forever, but memories can always be cherished and revisited
Hooked by the drug of your lives
Addicted to the fast-paced, thrilling lifestyle of others
I'll drown in the water
Overwhelmed and suffocated by the intensity of their feelings
That flows down from your eyes
The tears that they cry due to their overwhelming emotions
To my lips
Symbolizes how these intense emotions can physically impact and affect us
Someone just pulled me aside
Someone has stopped me to warn or advise me
I wait for a warning
Anticipating some sort of cautionary message
But it's only your pride
Realizing it's just the ego and self-importance of someone else that's being projected onto you
That sounds in my ears
Their words echoing in the mind and resounding with a deeper meaning
Yeah, it's alright
Assuring oneself that everything will be okay
So when you feel my pain
When you empathize and share in my struggles
You can tell me just the same
You can reassure me with the same positive outlook and message
That it's alright
That things will work out and be okay in the end
