Some Other World
Willie & Merle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause there's no sunshine in mine
Out of the darkness came thunder and rain
Leavin' my dreams all in vain
Some other world there sleeps my darlin'
There, where the skies are always blue
Why don't they take me out of this world
And let me find my sunshine with you?
Some other world there sleep
s my darlin' means that the ultimate happiness that the singer seeks is not in this world but in some other world. The current world is not offering any sunshine to the singer's life. It's a desolate place where there's no light, no warmth, and no hope. The darkness has caused nothing but thunder and rain, and even the dreams have been devastated. The singer imagines a parallel world where they can finally find the love they seek. This utopia is depicted as a place where the skies are always blue, and the singer can escape the hardships of this existence.
Line by Line Meaning
Some other world has all the sunshine
There is another world where everything seems perfect and happy
'Cause there's no sunshine in mine
The singer's world is dark and gloomy
Out of the darkness came thunder and rain
The singer faced challenging situations which brought grief and despair
Leavin' my dreams all in vain
The singer's aspirations and hopes were crushed, leaving them disheartened
Some other world there sleeps my darlin'
The singer's loved one is resting in a better place
There, where the skies are always blue
In that world, everything seems to be perfect and vibrant
Why don't they take me out of this world
The singer wishes to leave the world of misery and pain behind
And let me find my sunshine with you?
To join their loved one in that happy place
