Nickelback: Someday Meaning

Song Released: 2003

Someday Lyrics

How the hell did we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed
And try turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists, and unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
But don't think it's too...

   i believe this song is about our ignorance as to how precious life really is. if you have seen the music video, you see that the characters have numbers over their head, and these numbers represent how long they have to live. we as humans have no real way to know how long we have to live, so we should be thankful for everything we have and everyday is a blessing.

   Obviously, the guy and the girl were probably fighting. He also appears dead, something I didn't realize when I first saw this video. She is crying because he is gone, that's why her footprints are seen and his are not. She runs away from her problems but the guy follows her, as if he is saying everything will be alright- someday. At the end, she gets in a car crash and dies, and they are finally reunited in the afterlife. They walk by the newspaper that describes this death.

   I believe its partly been touched on but IMHO this song is more along the lines of a story with a moral, most people have been looking too hard at the video (the artists, not just Nickelback don't always have control over the vids that's what directors are for) anyways the moral is that "yeah we make mistakes, but given time some mistakes can be set right, hence - someday, somehow I'm gunna make it all right. just sometimes its not just down to us, sometimes others have to forgive and forget."

   This is not my interpretation of the song, but to the people wondering about the music video, it is about a man whose wife starts crying after she reads a newspaper article. She starts packing like she is going to leave, and the man shouts at her but she does not seem to hear. He follows her out to her car, where she drives off, still ignoring him, and he chases after her. Finally, he has almost caught up with her when she runs a red light and collides with a truck, apparently having committed suicide. As people crowd around her car, the man sees her ghost emerge, and she can now see and hear him. It is revealed that the newspaper article was about him, the woman's husband, dying in a bridge accident. One clue as to why the woman cannot see the man is that she leaves footprints in the milk, while he does not.
   
   I think the song is about a man and a woman going through a divorce, and the man wants the woman to know that it is not too late to change things.

   It's about how you want to make something up so bad but you can you can't undo what you did because something happened like he can't make it up over the fighting cause he's dead he's hoping someday somehow he can make it up then she dies and becomes a ghost so she can see and talk to him so his someday finally came so basically it's about how you only have one life so watch what you say and watch who you fight with cause your someday may never come

   My interpretation is that the girl and guy got into a fight a day or two ago and she was ready to pack her bags and leave when he was killed in an accident, and she was so devastated because he died before they could work things out and say sorry, and the songs lyrics that say someday, some how I'm going to make it right but not right now, meaning that the guy was trying hard to communicate to her and try to say sorry and try and fix everything but he couldn't because he died before he was able to. Its all about things that were left unsaid and never got the chance to be said and eventually killed the girl and that someday turned into that day.

   okay, the video is super great and all, but to me the SONG is about two people boyfriend and gf, wife and husband probably can't solve thier problems together, and they've come at rope's end and the descion is eithier to leave or to stay. The man is wanting to work it all out, and he can't believe that everything went down to fighting all the time and hurting each other. But, for some reason, the man knows they will work it all out, and someday they'll be better in each other's arms. I think they both know it'll be better later on though "you're the only one who knows that.." so...yeah.

   He is wondering how they got so bad like fighting and stuff and he wonders why they couldn't stop it. He wishes that she wouldn't be so mad and that they could work it out. In the video a glass of milk is spilt and it means not to fight over the small things "don't cry over spilt milk" and that even though things are bad right now they will get better later (someday). The thing with the fight and everything with the news paper and stuff. If they have a bad fight without working it out it will only have a tragic ending (hollywood ending)the car crash. Buit if they work it out then the car crash wouldn't happen.In the end everything will be alright.
   I haven't seen the video in a long time, but during the video the reason why the girl is so upset is because he died. And she is just so mad. He is there but as a ghost (he walks through the milk and no foot prints are there) she ends up getting in a crash and they are together again.

    Does anyone understand the video for this song? What's with the newspaper with the bridge accident?
