Someday Soon

Familiar freaks will fill your living room
Rugs lash out their lizard tongues
You're not getting young, you're not getting young
But you're going to die
And you're going to be needing all of your eyes
You'll be all alone
When the animals cry
All by yourself
In some infancy?s lie
Someday soon, someday soon
Television bleeding like a harvest moon
Flush the scissors down the hole
You're getting old, you're getting old
And I hate to remind you but you're going to die
And you're going to be needing all of your lies
You'll be all alone
When the animals cry
All by yourself
In some infancy's lie
Someday soon
Someday soon
Someday soon
Someday soon
Someday Soon - The Doors
Released in 1967, "Someday Soon" stands as a pivotal track in The Doors' early discography, showcasing Jim Morrison's poetic lyricism and the band's signature blend of rock and roll with jazz and classical influences. The song features the distinctive, haunting vocal delivery of Morrison, layered over a rhythm section that emphasizes the group's improvisational spirit. As a key component of their formative period, the recording captures the raw energy and atmospheric tension that would define their subsequent work. It reflects the era's countercultural movement, exploring themes of time, uncertainty, and the passage of life through a lens of existential inquiry. The composition remains a staple of their catalog, illustrating the band's ability to merge personal expression with a broader musical narrative that continues to resonate with listeners today.
