Sometimes
Journey of Resilience: Daniel Lanois' Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Sometimes, sometimes
Expressing the variability of emotions or situations.
Sometimes I feel like I'm playin' on the radio
Feeling like one is part of the public consciousness, perhaps seeking recognition.
Sometimes I feel like I'm on a travelin' road show
Sense of being on a constant journey or experiencing a transient lifestyle.
Sometimes I got the power of the will and I know my song is gonna to be alright
Confidence in one's ability to overcome challenges and succeed.
Sometimes I feel like I'm on a freight train
Feeling propelled forward with unstoppable force, perhaps in a turbulent life.
Forever rescued by the mystery rain
Finding solace or salvation in unpredictable and mysterious circumstances.
Sometimes I'm just out for a thrill, she always said 'Baby, you're gonna be alright'
Seeking excitement and reassurance, receiving support from a significant other.
The sun gonna come shining down; push it all away, make it alright
Belief in a positive turn of events, overcoming challenges with the arrival of better times.
Sometimes in the heart of a long, cold night
Referencing challenging moments during the darker phases of life.
It's all too far out of sight, out of sight
Feeling that some aspects of life are distant or incomprehensible.
Hard to know everything's going to be alright
Expressing difficulty in maintaining optimism and assurance.
Everyone thinks you got everything you want
Highlighting misconceptions about personal fulfillment and desires.
Hard to have and then have not
Experiencing the contrast between abundance and scarcity.
Hard to have and then have not
Reiteration of the challenges associated with having and lacking.
Sometimes I wanna take a pill and hide
Expressing a desire to escape or cope with difficulties through medication.
Sometimes I wanna shut down and ride
Yearning for a retreat or a break from the challenges of life.
And go where no man should go
Expressing a desire to venture into uncharted territories or take unconventional paths.
Go where no man should go
-Go where no man should go
-Go where no man should go
-Could it be, every really be, alright
Questioning the possibility of everything truly being alright.
