Life is something you experience, but living is something you do. The young man in this song yearns to make something out of his life..
When will I ever be ignited
Now I feel so very restless
Tonight, tonight I’ve got itchy fingers
Tonight, tonight I need something different
He wants to find and do things that add to the quality of his life, and he is critical of family and friends who just seem to be doing partying and doing things to pass the time.
How do I get out of this endless repetition?
Work until you party the middle class condition
My brother’s a video drone, my sister’s always on the phone
Something somewhere has got to be better than this
He longs to be inspired and energized by life and hopes to find a relationship which is both passionate and intimate. He wants to make
things happen and not just sit around for some big event or belief system to give him life an sense of purpose and meaning. He's anxious to get things started.
I need somewhere to go, I need something of my own
lyrics
Somewhere 2/22/87
When will I ever be ignited
Now I feel so very restless
Tonight, tonight I’ve got itchy fingers
Tonight, tonight I need something different
How do I get out of this endless repetition?
Work until you party the middle class condition
My brother’s a video drone, my sister’s always on the phone
Something somewhere has got to be better than this
No, it’s not like I have no ambition
Yes, the choices look so vicious
Tonight, tonight I’m ripe for big decisions
Tonight, tonight I’m pumped for a different vision
There is something empty in waiting for invasions
By some darling little creatures from Spielberg’s imagination
My brother’s a video drone, my sister’s always on the phone
Something somewhere has got to be better than this
I need somewhere to go, I need something of my own
