Analysis of Somewhere with someone in search of something I can't afford

Sahyl Malik 2004 (delhi)



I'm somewhere in the darkness
somewhere in with ghost
nowhere to escape from it
nowhere is the hope.

If you want me again, just look beneath your soles
under the dirt
I'm laying with the thoughts

i'm with someone in the nights
with someone who is not
as soon as the day breaks
they seems to be gone

someone who is to me lights
someone whom I love most
as soon as the day breaks
they seems to be gone.
