Some Other World
Willie & Merle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some other world has all the sunshine
'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

Overall Meaning

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.
