Saw Something Lyrics
Had passed
I wondered how long
The break in the clouds would last
I'm sure
(Oh baby) I saw it
Something in your eyes
I wanted it for myself
And I stare
Still wishing for a divine intervention
To lift me from my chair
I'm sure
(Oh baby) I saw it
Something in your eyes
I'm sure
(Oh baby) I saw it
There was something in your eyes
I wanted it for myself
We've reached beyond the farthest star
Time and time and time again
I want you back
You were a friend
We can't pretend
I'm sure
(Oh baby) I saw it
Something in your eyes
I wanted it for myself
i think this song is about rediscovering that there is something inexplicable about a person whom you previously got away from, and then realizing that what that person does for you is something you want to return to, keep, and cherish.
Person is gone -> Narrator realizes how much they've done, and how much they enjoyed it -> Narrator wants it all back.
Probably the best of his solo songs, love it!
"After the storm had passed I wondered how long The break in the clouds would last" and
"You and I have come so far We've reached beyond the farthest star Time and time and time again I want you back, you were a friend We can't pretend"
I think that song was dedicated to Alan. Dave is kinda transparent person and always made clear that he misses his former bandmate.
Great interpretation!!
he's obviously talking about me
This song is about Alan Wilder, duh.
You and I have come so far / We've reached beyond the farthest star Time and time and time again / I want you back You were a friend / We can't pretend
Obviously about their time together in DM and how the band was considered at their peak when Alan was still around. Also, they were very close friends so it'll make sense how Dave wants him back.
darkonfire, i do agree with you 100/100 absolutely right .but still the meaning can be subjective !!
