Something
Youngblood Brass Band feat. Ike Willis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another empty day
Funny how they slip away
Filling boxes with my past
Reaching out to find myself at last
Squander twenty years
Trying not to face my fears
Here's my opportunity
To seek out the brightest part of me
Leaving home again
But the journey's from within
In my heart I know I'll find
That one thing that will grant me peace of mind
We'll take some time I bet
'Cause I haven't found it yet
Not sure what I'm looking for
But it's there; I know that much for sure
I'm looking for something
I'm looking for something
I'm looking for something
That'll turn my life around
'Cause security ain't enough for me
When I'm climbing to a higher ground
Higher ground

(Trumpet Solo)

Just around the bend
I can see the journey's end
What I'll find remains unknown
But I guess I'll reap what I have sown
Never to return
Got no time left to burn
Won't just let my life live me
Don't know what, but undeniably
I'm looking for something
I'm looking for something
I'm looking for something
That'll turn my life around
'Cause security ain't enough for me
When I'm climbing to a higher ground
Climbing to a higher ground
Looking for something now
Higher ground
I'm climbing to a higher ground
Climbing to a higher ground
Looking for something now
Climbing to a higher ground
Higher ground




Climbing to a higher ground
Looking for something

Vaughn Graves

I'm sure that what was meant is that this is an awesome "tune" / song- not that the YBBB are not in tune. It's a modern colloquialism..
