When we were all isolated in our rooms at the start of the pandemic, we wanted to write a dance song we could shout along to. This is what came of that, and it still feels good to scream it now. It’s a song about feeling stuck in one place, both physically and mentally, and trying to find your way out by dancing and screaming at the top of your lungs - even if you are alone and your friends are far away in their own apartments, only connected to you by the glow of a computer screen.
lyrics
Somewhere Else:
I don’t want to be in this house
My blood is slowing me down
It’s Saturday night and I’m “singing for the lonely”
With you and “Thunder Road” on zoom karaoke
So we, we sing along, we sing along with ourselves
Cause now the zoom delay keeps you away from my house
(from my house, my house)
Oh it isn’t safe in my head
I can’t figure out
How to live in silence instead
When the world doesn’t make a sound
I don’t want to be in this house
Trust falling to catch myself
My blood is slowing me down
Running circles to somewhere else (x2)
Phones down and dance with me, oh won’t you dance with me
We’ll make a comeback –
Cause I just want to feel, oh I want to feel everything
Oh no, but I,
I keep lying, I keep lying - “everything’s alright”
When I know
It’s not fine – our whole lives stuck in the blue light
(in the blue light, the blue light)
Oh it isn’t safe in my head
I can’t figure out
How to live in silence instead
When the world doesn’t make a sound
I don’t want to be in this house
Trust falling to catch myself
My blood is slowing me down
Running circles to somewhere else
I don’t want to be in this house
Trust falling to catch myself (I can’t keep catching myself)
My blood is slowing me down
Running circles to somewhere else (I can’t get anywhere else)
Oh it isn’t safe in my head (I don’t want to be in this house)
I can’t figure out
How to live in silence instead (My blood is slowing me down)
When the world doesn’t make a sound
