Somewhere Lyrics

A love song.

This is one of my favorite songs by Soundgarden.

The first verse is quite catchy I would say.

"I wish a wish I dream to dream I try to try and I live to live And die to die and I cry to cry But I know why"

He says his actions and his life feel pointless and automatic, but at the same time that, in his inner world, he is dying to live a true life. He just wants and even needs this too much.

The other lines are more clear, in my opinion. Musically speaking, my favorite part by far is this: "For times that pass my life I'll search for the sky That she wonders by".
