  Explain Song Meanings.
  It's a song of contemplation, on the unpredictability of emotions in which Tess Parks expresses the contrast between despair and moments of optimism.
  
  

  Verse 1

  
  "I don't like anything / But I love everyone somedays" -Tess begins with her discontents about life; in the same breadth, she acknowledges that on some days, this sublimity of depth is achieved for love toward others. Juxtaposed against each other, these words do presuppose depth in the emotional state where feelings of alienation are replaced by warmth.
  "Sometimes when the goin' gets rough / I cry somedays" - Here, Parks is candidly open about her fragility, admitting she barely can make it and sometimes gives in. Her mood swings are all bare here, therefore making the song relatable to anyone who goes through life's difficulties.
  
  

  [Pre-Chorus]

  
  "And on Sunday I'm praying to a God / Don't know whom but he gives me love" - This line reveals a spiritual dimension: Parks alludes to a higher power, though she is uncertain about its identity. The act of praying brings her some comfort, even if the specifics of her faith are unclear.
  
  

  [Chorus]

  
  "Someday / Someday"-The recurrence of "someday" Shadowly depicts a wish for things to change for the better. It is a hope that, though life is tough now, there is an assumption that in the future, things may change.
  
  [Verse 2] "I'm so grateful for this day and all of 'em after / Can't get out of bed" - This verse is one more example of emotional contradiction. Tess feels gratitude but at the same time is weighed down by a depressive state, unable to act on her feelings of appreciation. "Won't acknowledge what's in my head / Someday" this shows the disorder in her mental health; maybe she is talking about avoidance or denial about what is going on inside her. Nevertheless, there prevails a hope that "someday" things might turn different.
  
  

  [Bridge]

  
  "And when the sun is out / And good people about / It restores my faith" -Nature and contact with people are apparently healing elements in Parks' life. The sun is a symbol of something positive, and wherever there are good people, it gives her hope for better days.
  
  

  [Chorus]

  
  "Yeah, someday / Someday"-Again, the repetition here underscores that even this hope is not fixed in the present but rather something to hold onto for the future.

  Theme of Song. The core of this tune-which has come to be known as Somedays-must be understood via ups and downs in emotional and mental states. Tess Parks navigates melancholy, gratitude, spiritual questioning, and a desire for better days. This song points out that good weather and good people somehow give comfort on some days. It's a track about making it through the struggles of life with hope that all will be better someday.

  Technical Analysis. Musically, Somedays falls into indie rock, with Tess Parks' dreamy vocals and minimalistic arrangements. It's rather simple in structure but manages to underline its themes: longing and emotional uncertainty. The scanty instrumentation allows the lyrics of Parks to be upfront, with slight changes in tone and dynamics reflecting the shift in the described emotional landscape. Repetition of choruses conveys a sense of continuous struggle but also enduring hope.
