Somewhere Else Lyrics
Life goes on the same, bury the pain
And hold on to love
Heal the song, sing along
But what does it change
Feels like I'm always losing
But don't say a word, till they teach you the way
Words are found too close to the edge
That we don't dare sing
And when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Where else?
Despite all the wrong, dragging you back
Forgive and then forgone and on and on and on and on
Feels like I'm always losing
But when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Where else?
he's like you can try to fix small problems but wat will it change in the world? ~i love this song especially the "oh this life is so confusing, feels like im always losing"
"Hold on to love." My favorite lyric in this song.
the most beautiful Travis song ever, in my opinion I love Fran's voice
I see two different meanings to this song that I can't really decide which seems to be the right one.
First: how it is impossible to create a name for yourself in the world today because everyone else before you has already done it, seen it and then you die. "Come in knowing everything but don't say a word till they teach you the way" "And this'll turn into something else, something else, but when it does I'll be somewhere else."
And then the second is closer to shootingstar's idea--that when something is screwed up and you know there is no way to fix it without making it into something worse--nothing you do will have any impact.

Such a bittersweet (but definitely more on the sweet side) song!
This might be about amnesty. Might.
Fran said in a live performance that it was about hoping for change and only having that change long after you're gone. So "somewhere else" might be the afterworld! C:
This song leaves a certain melodramatic aftertaste in me. It reminds me of how we all go through life, missing opportunities and restricted by boundaries. Yet, that is how life is. I guess it's just my interpretation.
"Come in knowing everything. But don't say a word, till they teach you the way." We are capable of so much, but we only do the things that we are told.
"Words are found too close to the edge. That we don't dare sing." Some things feel like such a risk, simply because nobody else does it.
"And you said I should be myself. Despite all the wrong, dragging you back." So of course, they keep telling us to be who we are, but you really can't.
"And this'll turn into something else, something else. But when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else. Where else?" Things may change, but by then so will you, and yet again, you still can't be who you really are, because it all boils down to the first verse, "Home and away, life goes on the same."
