Somewhere in America
Unveiling Life's Dice: Somewhere in America
Lyrics
Just play the game and throw the dice
Encouragement to participate in life's uncertainties and take risks.
You might not win but you can't lose tonight
Even if you don't succeed, there's no harm in trying tonight.
Just watch this fairy tale unfold
Observation of a unfolding story, possibly with a sense of wonder.
You won't believe all the things you've been told
Skepticism towards information received, suggesting disbelief.
Young or old
Relevance to people of all ages, suggesting universal themes.
Somewhere in America
Reference to an unspecified location in America.
Somewhere in America tonight
Reiteration of the mysterious place in America, emphasizing the present.
Another town another place
Change of location without a significant impact on identity.
Another name but you don't know the face
Anonymity in a new place where recognition is absent.
A joker deals and makes the rules
Introduction of a character manipulating circumstances.
A game of chance a game that was made for fools
Depiction of life as a gamble, especially for those easily deceived.
Like me and you
Identification of the singer and the listener as participants in the game.
Somewhere in America
Reiteration of the mysterious location, reinforcing its significance.
Somewhere in America tonight
Emphasis on the ongoing events in America during the night.
Tonight
Reaffirmation of the immediacy of the situation.
Don't wave a flag unless it's white
Caution against displaying a symbol of surrender unless sincere.
Don't make a noise unless you're prepared to fight
Advisory to avoid unnecessary conflicts unless ready for consequences.
Wrong or right
Recognition of the existence of moral ambiguity.
Somewhere in America
Repetition of the mysterious place, reinforcing its presence.
Somewhere in America tonight
Continuation of events in the undisclosed location during the night.
Somewhere in America
Additional emphasis on the ongoing situation in America.
Somewhere in America tonight
Final reinforcement of the ongoing events in the unidentified American place.
