Hey There!
Last week, I talked about how I after discovered Some Day, I was able to have a clear understanding of a situation that I was in, and the song really helped me to find my way.
Basically, on Monday 1st September 2014, me and Danny had had a misunderstanding over social media, and it made me realise how much we thought we knew each other, but in reality, he did not know me at all, and this song really describes the whole situation that occurred. Between this day, and when I next properly saw him, on Tuesday 11th November, I was in such a state of confusion that I didn't know what to do. However, when I eventually did see him, I realised that he had changed so much that he was a complete stranger to me.
The lyrics to this song are so meaningful that I decided to describe how each part really relates to me.
The first verse is quite relatable, if you know the lyrics, basically it means that I'll never regret the past, but maybe it wasn't the best of choices to look up to him so much, because after the many years of trying to become closer to him, I felt like I lost him very quickly, and maybe it was my fault for bottling up my feelings so much.
The chorus is pretty straightforward, and the lines "I don't know if it felt like, I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time" means that I didn't really know how he felt about me deep down, and especially after seeing him two months later. Then the lines "we're not on the same page, you don't even know me, cause you never took the time" means that we're completely different people, and when we had our misunderstanding, he really did not know me at all, because although he had the opportunity, he never took it.
The second verse is saying that now that everything is over between us, and I rarely see him, I hope that he still remembers the effort that I made. Now that it's long gone, I'm feeling fine about it, but deep down, I sometimes blame myself, even though we both knew that the end was near.
Finally, the last past of the song describes that he probably never acknowledges me anymore, or thinks about me, and times will always be awkward for us in he future. But I will always remember this time, although I'll never feel anything again. The last lime "some day, when I'm older..." is just me wondering if I will move on forever, and if I will still be able to remember the past so clearly!
The reason why I found the acoustic version more relatable than the original was because personally, I'm more of an acoustic person, and back in 2014, when I really needed to sing out my emotions, this would be the song that I would sing, and I could just put so much passion in it because it suited my voice so much! My next goal is to learn these chords, because to perform this song on my own would be absolutely amazing!
It was really such a gift to be able to hear this song, and I feel honoured to have found it! Don't forget to comment some of your favourite Shinedown songs below.

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Some Day - Acoustic incase you're interested!
Someday, when I'm older
And they never know my name
Somehow, if I'm honest
I can never feel ashamed
Maybe I was wrong to
Hold you up so high
Now I know I've lost you
To the feelings I kept inside
I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time
Someday, when it's over
And you never show your face
I hope you'll remember
How I tried to make you a place
And so now, I move on
To keep my piece of mind
In someway, I've failed you
But I just ran out of time
I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time
I'm not sure that you hear me
I'm not sure that you look at me the same
I will always be attached to you
But I'm never gonna feel the same
I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time
No, you never took the time
Someday, when I'm older...
And they never know my name
Somehow, if I'm honest
I can never feel ashamed
Maybe I was wrong to
Hold you up so high
Now I know I've lost you
To the feelings I kept inside
I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time
Someday, when it's over
And you never show your face
I hope you'll remember
How I tried to make you a place
And so now, I move on
To keep my piece of mind
In someway, I've failed you
But I just ran out of time
I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time
I'm not sure that you hear me
I'm not sure that you look at me the same
I will always be attached to you
But I'm never gonna feel the same
I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time
No, you never took the time
Someday, when I'm older...
