What if “someday” is closer than you think?
(by Jasper Tan) “Someday” by Mimo is a beautiful, laid-back track driven by an atmospheric sound. It explores one’s journey of personal growth and emotional resilience. Reminding us to always find hope and remain patient during our most difficult times.
As written in the book of Philippians 1:6 — “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” We are also asked to stay steadfast in our faith and do our share to ensure that Christ’s promise will come to fruition. Not because God’s promise is not enough, but because we also have a responsibility to take care of ourselves and protect our emotions from going down the dark path of hopelessness.
The lyrics acknowledge that we are “far from perfect” (0:44–0:47, 1:45–1:48), giving emphasis that self-improvement is a continuous process and not a linear journey. It will always come with its own ups and downs. But the most important thing is that we value each progress that we make, even when it feels small. So patience is required of us, as we learn to sit with it (1:19–1:21) when facing internal turmoil.
Though we sometimes feel like we are being “caught in the middle” of internal struggle (1:31) and the hope found in seeking a “light” (1:28). But the title of the song “someday” alludes to a future as a place where things will eventually improve for the better. And that while some cycles are hard to break, choosing to continue to move forward is essential. And it is really the only way to go.
I find this song a very beautiful song that is an emphatic statement that offers comfort to anyone struggling right now and working through their own transformation to find freedom and peace. “Just keep your patience, and you’ll be ok.”
(Related scripture: Philippians 1:6; Galatians 6:9; Psalm 40:1)
Background:
This song is about keeping faith and patience in your personal journey through self-improvement. Realising you're not perfect and mistakes are inevitable, no matter how long it takes, with faith and hope, you'll get there "someday", and don't give up. I've battled addiction for a long period of time, and without hope of a better future, there isn't much light at the end of the tunnel. Writing songs is my way of therapy, and I hope by sharing my story, it allows others to relate and feel as if they are not alone. The bridge "spinning around, inside of your head" describes the endless thoughts, worries, insecurities, and anxieties - the only way to overcome them is to let go and be your truest self.
