Somewhere Inside Of Me

Julie Thompson's song "Somewhere Inside Of Me" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of self-identity and the lingering pain of lost love. The lyrics open with existential questions, "Who am I, love? What am I supposed to be?" These lines set the stage for a journey of introspection and self-discovery. The singer grapples with the notion of a solitary life, feeling that it is somehow predestined for her. This sense of inevitability is further emphasized by the repeated phrase, "The choice was made," suggesting a resignation to her fate.

The recurring theme of loneliness is palpable throughout the song. Despite the singer's attempts to find solace or connection, she acknowledges that deep inside, she and her former lover will never be anything other than lonely. This sentiment is poignantly expressed in the lines, "Deep inside we'll never be anything other than lonely." The imagery of a "bleeding scar" that still feels as it used to highlights the enduring pain and the difficulty of moving on from past wounds. The singer's vulnerability is laid bare as she questions what it takes to breathe life into a relationship that seems destined for loneliness.

In the latter part of the song, the singer expresses a desire to escape her current state and rediscover something real within herself. The lines, "I wanna ride, I wanna hide, What I've become, Now you're no longer mine," reflect a yearning for transformation and a return to authenticity. This quest for something real, "Somewhere inside," signifies a hope for healing and self-acceptance. Julie Thompson's evocative lyrics and emotive delivery make "Somewhere Inside Of Me" a poignant exploration of heartache, loneliness, and the search for self-identity.
