Somewhere
surf mesa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll never hold you again
Go save that love for someone
For something, for somewhere
And by the weight of my head
I'll always drown in regret
You save that love for someone
For something, for somewhere
Hey, are you tied up?
And you're too tired to break the ties
Hands behind my back
And you're too tired to cut the slack
You say that I'm a mess whenever I try my best
We both know I'm not the best for you
By the stroke of my hand
I'll never hold you again
Go save that love for someone
For something, for somewhere
And by the weight of my head
I'll always drown in regret
You save that love for someone
For something, for somewhere (somewhere)
Yeah, I get caught in webs (with some wings I cut)
Yeah, you say I'm too old to play the game
We can make amends (to fly, oh)
Bloody veins filled with constant hatred
You say that I'm a mess whenever I try my best
We both know I'm not the best for you (ooh, ooh)
And by the stroke of my hand
I'll never hold you again
Go save that love for someone
For something, for somewhere (somewhere)
And by the weight of my head
I'll always drown in regret
You save that love for someone
For something, for somewhere (somewhere)
And by the weight of my head
I'll always drown in regret
You save that love for someone
For something, for somewhere
The lyrics of “Somewhere” by Surf Mesa are about the pain of the end of a relationship. Surf Mesa reflects on the mistakes he made in the relationship and understands that he cannot hold onto the love he once had. He is also aware that his ex-partner deserves to be with someone who can love them better. The line “And by the weight of my head, I'll always drown in regret” is particularly poignant, as it denotes the deep sense of sorrow that Surf Mesa feels about the end of the relationship. This line also highlights the fact that while Surf Mesa has accepted the loss of love, it will continue to affect him for some time.
The chorus of “Somewhere” essentially repeats the idea of letting go of love for someone or something else. The words “somewhere” and “something” in the lyrics imply that there might still be hope for Surf Mesa to find love, but not with this particular person. The song's overall message is about accepting the inevitability of change and learning to move on.
The lines “We can make amends (to fly, oh)/ Bloody veins filled with constant hatred” imply that there is a sense of anger and bitterness between the two people involved in the relationship. Although they might not be able to salvage their love, there is still a chance to make amends and move on without constantly being filled with hatred towards each other. In essence, the song is about letting go of love for someone who deserves better, accepting change, and moving on to find love elsewhere.
