Someday
Embracing Life's Unwritten Melodies
Lyrics
Someday I will write myself a song
Someday, the singer plans to compose a song about themselves.
I'll finally say the things I've always wanted to
The singer intends to express long-withheld thoughts and feelings in the song.
Someday I will right all of my wrongs
Future aspirations include rectifying past mistakes or finding self-forgiveness.
Or maybe just forgive myself enough for two
Consideration of forgiving oneself as a step towards redemption.
But every night I'm paralyzed
Nights are marked by feeling stuck, unable to articulate certain sentiments.
By all the ways that I could try to say this
Struggle to find the right words or actions to convey a message.
The greenest grass you'll ever find
An analogy implying that the best opportunities are where you currently stand.
Is not ahead and not behind
Emphasizing that the most favorable circumstances are neither in the past nor the future.
But here beneath the very steps you're taking
The significance of the present moment and the steps taken in it.
So just keep walking along
An encouragement to keep progressing in life.
Someday I will make myself a record
Future plan to create a record (possibly musical) reflecting life experiences.
A testament to all the things that I've been through
Documenting personal history and the challenges faced.
Someday I will finally reach perfection
Aspirations for achieving perfection or doing the best within one's capabilities.
Or maybe I'll just do the best that I can do
Acknowledgment of the limitation of human capacity and commitment to giving one's best.
But every day I'm overcome
Feeling overwhelmed by the daily challenges and limitations of time.
By all the things I won't get done in time
Reflection on the pressure of not accomplishing everything in a lifetime.
But this life's a gift and not a game
Life is described as a precious gift rather than a trivial game.
I will not hurry to my grave
A commitment to savor every moment and not rush towards the inevitable end.
But cherish every moment I'm alive
An emphasis on appreciating life while alive.
So if you're still here
A direct address to someone still present in the singer's life.
Just be still here and now
An invitation to remain in the current moment and be present.
Someday I will write myself a song
A repetition of the desire to compose a self-reflective song in the future.
I'll finally say the things I've always wanted to
The singer reiterates the intention to express long-desired sentiments in the song.
