Someday
Embracing Change: Thomas Austin's Reflection on Life's Inevitable Shifts
Lyrics
Spring never felt this way before
Expressing a unique and intense feeling associated with the current spring.
It rains all day, and when it rains it pours
Describing a prolonged and heavy rain, possibly mirroring challenges or difficulties.
And the storm won't quit until it runs its course
Highlighting the persistence of a metaphorical storm until it completes its natural course.
Spring never felt this way before
Reiteration of the powerful and unfamiliar emotions tied to the current spring.
Well, we all packed up and we moved away
Narrating a collective decision to leave a place, implying a major life change.
Saved our goodbyes for another day
Delaying farewells for a later time, suggesting a reluctance to part ways.
Emptied the house, and we filled the tank
Symbolizing a physical departure by emptying a house and filling up a tank.
Packed our things, and then we moved away
Summarizing the process of packing and leaving a familiar space.
And now the only thing left that's keeping me sane
Pointing to a specific source of comfort during challenging times, a Tennessee summer in a quiet place.
Is a Tennessee summer in a quiet place
Expressing a dislike for goodbyes and a fear of change, highlighting the solace found in the mentioned setting.
Because I hate goodbyes, and I'm terrified of change
Acknowledging a personal aversion to goodbyes and fear of change.
But we all knew it was gonna come someday
Anticipating an inevitable event, suggesting a shared awareness among individuals involved.
All knew it was gonna come someday
Reiteration of the inevitability of the anticipated event.
Well, I wish I believed what I say I do
Expressing a desire for genuine belief in one's own words.
Then I wouldn't stock up what I'm scared to lose
Reflecting on a tendency to hoard or protect things out of fear of losing them.
And I wouldn't fight back what I know is true
Acknowledging a struggle against the suppression of undeniable truths.
Wish I believed what I say I do
Reiterating the wish for genuine belief in stated convictions.
And now the only thing left that's keeping me sane
Repeating the significance of a Tennessee summer in a quiet place as a source of comfort.
Is a Tennessee summer in a quiet place
Reemphasizing the aversion to goodbyes and fear of change, highlighting the role of the mentioned setting.
Because I hate goodbyes, and I'm terrified of change
Reiterating personal discomfort with goodbyes and fear of change.
But we all knew it was gonna come someday
Reiterating the shared awareness of an impending event that everyone knew was going to happen.
And sure as hell, like surgery pain
Drawing a parallel between the certainty of something happening and the pain of surgery.
Or some funeral hymn with an old refrain
Comparing a situation to a funeral hymn with a recurring theme, suggesting a sense of inevitability.
Well, isn't it some kind of amazing grace
Pondering whether certain events are expressions of grace or if they are burdensome curses.
Or is it just a curse that it works that way
Questioning the workings of fate or destiny in a somewhat ambiguous manner.
Something's gotta die for the dead to be raised
Introducing the idea that sacrifices or losses may be necessary for new beginnings or resurrections.
Someday
Repetition of the word "Someday," reinforcing the theme of an inevitable future event.
Someday
Concluding the lyrics with the repeated reference to "Someday," leaving the exact nature of the event open to interpretation.
