The exposure also gave way to a deal with RCA Records, which reissued the debut as well as Triumph's sophomore effort, 1977's Rock & Roll Machine, which spawned the group's first semi-hit single, a cover of Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way." It was also around this time that the group became known for its concerts, which relied heavily on pyrotechnics and an intricate light show (just in case their following couldn't figure this out themselves, the trio penned a track called "Blinding Light Show").
With their stock rising among hard rock fans, Triumph inked a new recording contract with MCA, which led to their most successful period both artistically and commercially. Such resulting albums as 1979's Just a Game and 1980's Progressions of Power inched the group closer to breakthrough success, which was obtained by a pair of back-to-back gold-certified albums: 1981's Allied Forces (often considered the group's best album, which spawned the hit anthem "Fight the Good Fight") and 1982's Never Surrender. Such further albums as 1984's Thunder Seven, 1985's Stages, 1985's The Sport of Kings, and 1987's Surveillance failed to meet the expectations set by Triumph's earlier releases, yet the group was able to retain its following. Come 1988, Emmett opted to leave the group to pursue a solo career, but instead of calling it a day, Moore and Levine decided to carry on with a new frontman/guitarist, while an 11-track best-of set, Classics, was issued a year after Emmett's exit.
Their first choice, ex-Thin Lizzy/Whitesnake member John Sykes, was too busy getting his project Blue Murder off the ground at the time, so the gig ultimately went to former Frozen Ghost/Aldo Nova associate Phil X (it was also around this time that the group built its own recording studio in Mississauga, Ontario, called Metalworks). The Phil X-led version of the group only managed to issue a single release, however, 1993's Edge of Excess, before Triumph split up for good. In the wake of their breakup, several archival releases popped up in record stores, such as 1995's In the Beginning and 1996's King Biscuit Flower Hour (the latter of which chronicled a 1981 concert), while Rik Emmett continued on with his solo career, issuing albums on a regular basis throughout the '90s.
In 2007, it was announced that Triumph were to be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Subsequently, the original lineup of Emmett, Levine, and Moore reunited for several high-profile live shows leading up to their induction into the Hall of Fame during the 2008 Juno Awards. In 2012, the band released the DVD/CD set Live at Sweden Rock Festival, which documents Triumph's reunion concert from 2008.

Somebody's Out There
Triumph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I decide
Are we victims of circumstance
When destinies collide.
All the odds are against you
But somehow you make it through
You can rationalize it away
Half our lives we spend waiting
For the knock upon the door
When it comes will it be the one
That I've been waiting for
Somebody's out there somewhere
Waiting for someone to come their way
Somebody's out there somewhere
I will somehow be somebody's someone
Someday.
Standing in the shadows
Hiding from the light
Reach out in the darkness
And hold on for your life
All the fear of the future
All the loneliness inside
When the moment of truth arrives hey
You can run but you can hide.
Somebody's out there somewhere
Waiting for someone to come their way
Somebody's out there somewhere
I will somehow be somebody's someone
Someday.
I can feel it inside me
I've been holding on so long
Something's tellin' me something's got to give
'Cause the feeling's way too strong, too strong
The song "Somebody's Out There" by Triumph explores the concept of fate versus chance and whether or not we can control our destinies. The lyrics suggest that while there may be odds stacked against us, we have the power to make our own way in life. The idea of waiting for someone or something to come along is also present in the song, but the message is that ultimately it's up to us to seize the moment and take control of our lives.
The imagery used in the song is particularly powerful - standing in the shadows, hiding from the light, and reaching out in the darkness all suggest a sense of desperation and uncertainty. The line "you can run but you can't hide" is particularly memorable, as it suggests that no matter how much we may try to avoid the unknown, it will catch up with us eventually.
Overall, the song is both hopeful and poignant, with a message that encourages listeners to take charge of their lives and believe in the possibility of finding someone special. It serves as a reminder that even when the odds seem stacked against us, there is always hope for a brighter future.

Despite the odds, one is able to succeed
You can rationalize it away
Attempting to explain or justify a tough situation
But it all comes down to you
Ultimately, it is the individual who must take action

And hold on for your life
Holding onto hope and determination
All the fear of the future
Anxiety about the unknown events of the future
All the loneliness inside
The pain and isolation of being alone
When the moment of truth arrives hey
When faced with a crucial decision
You can run but you can hide.
One can avoid facing the truth, but it won't make it disappear
I can feel it inside me
An overwhelming sensation that something is missing
I've been holding on so long
Thoughts of longing and waiting for something or someone
Something's tellin' me something's got to give
Intuition that change needs to happen
'Cause the feeling's way too strong, too strong
Overwhelming emotions that cannot be ignored

Seriously?
Do you REALLY believe that recording artists should be put on "Plateau" levels and KNOCKED by not being "As Popular" or "As Talented"?
TRIUMPH has some INCREDIBLE Songs and surely Deserve RESPECT:
Just listen to tracks like:
"Fight The Good Fight"
"Hold On"
"Magic Power"
"Never Surrender"
"Somebody's Out There" [ to list a few]
Can't we just #ENJOY quality Music without #DISSING ANOTHER??? Do you think RUSH or other TOP Artists would value THIS Comparative KNOCKING?
CURIOUS... WHY do This?

This song makes me choke up, because the way life has been for me with my cerebral palsy, and not being accepted by women. I keep saying this song in my head everyday and love is hard to have in life with someone who might accept you as you are. 💔...I love this song the message is so very clear and Rik is an awesome singer Thank you Triumph ...We all need this song.
@jeffjohnson5544

@groovy Kaps Heaven isn't about hooking up with a partner in heaven-it's about finally being fully complete in the Lord and worshipping him forever. Any romantic relationship will pale in comparison to this.
@liisatoikka4531
Still my favourite Triumph track. So positive and uplifting! They are such a critically underrated band.
@kevinwilkins3248
My favorite by them as well.
@qtheband751
Couldn’t agree with you more sir. This song will always be on my playlist to put a smile on my face. Triumph deserved a bigger career.
@scottgould6590
Criminally underrated
