Someday Lyrics
Someday
Tomorrow will come
Though I'm not afraid of today
That's for sure
You laughed at me
For the last time
You've got to understand
It just wasn't in the plan
To me, your life was ended
When I said goodbye to you
Ah ha ha, you laughed at me
For the last time
Now there's nothing left
Tired of playing games
Your mind is lost
In a world that wasn't made for you
Though I feel the same way, too
I still got some things to do
Tomorrow will come
Though I'm not afraid of today
That's for sure
For the last time
You've got to understand
It just wasn't in the plan
When I said goodbye to you
For the last time
Now there's nothing left
Tired of playing games
In a world that wasn't made for you
Though I feel the same way, too
I still got some things to do

Vastly beautiful, extremely underrated song. Since I'm probably going to be the only one posting here, I'll present my interpretation of this somewhat cryptic piece...
This person condemns his friend or breaks up with a significant other for not having a meaningful life or goals and playing games. (It just wasn't in the plan--Your mind is lost, In a world that wasn't made for you--tired of playing games, laughed at me last time etc.)
The person feels similarly about his life having little meaning, but thinks he can carry on (I still got some things to do)
The only question now is, whether this person will pursue these shreds of goals or meaning now, because he's certainly (not afraid of today), or will he put it off in hopes of discovering new, better opportunities? (Someday, tomorrow will come) Kind of like an indecisiveness due to feelings of hopelessness.
Anyway hope this gives whoever may read this some incite. I certainly hope someone else besides me reads this and appreciates the Grape as much as I do! Peace.
It is a disgrace that this song only has one comment!
Moby Grape are one of the most underrated bands EVER.
Someday, I believe, is their best song. When Bob Mosley's voice comes in at 1:49 it is simply breathtaking.
You are so right: Moby Grape were highly underated and deserve more recognition even today. Can anyone help with 'He' and 'Bitter Wind'? Great Love and Peace.

And I have to point out Jerry Miller's gorgeous jazz-flavored guitar playing on this tune too --- timeless!

I talk to Peter Lewis sometimes, but he didn't write this one. Somebody who knows Don, Jerry or Bob who seem to be listed as the songwriters should ask them if they remember what the meaning was. I'll accept the first poster's guess until that happens. I agree, though..MG is so underrated it's ridiculous, and they are responsible for more quality per square inch than any other band, in large part due to Bob's vocals, Jerry's guitar, Peter's songs, Don's drumming, and the very amazing talents of Alexander Spence. A concentration of talent like you'll find nowhere else.
Jerry would remember. I'll ask him and post his response (if I remember)
Beautiful song - never really cared to analyse it, so much as be swept away by it; a lovely mesh of harmonies and guitars. When Bob Moseley comes in solo at the end, I could die right there.
A breath-taking gem from an album full of them.
