Where I've been living peacefully and happily\\
To paradise out of a catastrophe\\

Somewhere City is Music/OrigamiAngel's first studio album, released in 2019.
Somewhere City is an alternative indie rock album. Its lyrics primarily describe a place called Somewhere City that the singer likes to visit when he feels sad, as he knows his life is better there. Topics explored in the album include finding the strength to continue even when things are difficult, acknowledging your self-worth, supporting the people you care about, and being able to see the good in a bad situation while knowing that it'll always get better.

!! The trope list never lets me down!:
* AmbiguousSituation: Is Somewhere City a real place? It's suggested, but "The Title Track" saying that "the secret is it's in your brain" and "the city's never far away" could suggest that it's not a physical location, but rather a mindset the singer has. Furthering this, an early song, "666 Flags", has a mention of the singer taking medication to calm his nerves.
* BeYourself: "Find Your Throne" includes the singer telling a friend that they don't have to try being anyone else, and he knows them better than anyone else:
-->''So tell me all about the life you live\\
Tell me all the things that you would give to be someone new\\
I think you're better being you''
* BookEnds: "The Air Up Here" re-uses a verse from "Welcome to..." In addition, both songs include the lines "the city never lets me down."
* BitchInSheepsClothing: "Say Less" is about someone who disrespects the singer, making fun of him in front of their friends. The singer doesn't buy it, with one line being "you're not so good at hiding the fact that you don't like me", and wishes to stand up for himself.
* CompleteTheQuoteTitle: The first track is "Welcome to..." The album cover has the sign for Somewhere City, suggesting that it's meant to be "Welcome to Somewhere City".
* ContinuityCavalcade: Near the end of "The Air Up Here", verses from previous songs are played in succession, sometimes overlapping, ending on a reprise of "Welcome to..."'s opening.
* DriveThruAntics: "24 Hr Drive-Thru" is about the singer inviting his friend to go out for fast food on a rainy night, so they can "fill up both of their water cups with Dr. Pepper and then act like they paid".
* IAmBecomingSong: "Doctor Whomst" opens with the singer recreating a childhood memory, and then wondering if it's really the nostalgia that's making him happy. He concludes that he's "starting to like himself" and is finally happy with who he is.
* IChooseToStay: "The Air Up Here" is about the singer reaching out to an old friend after an extended trip to Somewhere City, saying that it has nothing to do with anything they did: he just likes Somewhere City more because his life is better and he feels like he belongs there, and he invites them to join him.
* LeavingTheNestSong: "Welcome to..." and "The Title Track" both introduce Somewhere City. The former is about the singer describing how much he likes the city and goes there when he feels sad, while the second is trying to convince someone else to join him.
* LongestSongGoesLast: "The Air Up Here", at 4:44, recaps the entire album.
* PepTalkSong: "Find Your Throne" is about the singer supporting someone, telling them that they're [[BeYourself fine the way they are]], and that he'll never stop being their friend.
-->''For the millionth time\\
I really wanna see you start to shine''
* ProductionForeshadowing: "666 Flags" includes plans to build a "Gami Gang theme park". Origami Angel's next album is titled ''Music/GamiGang''.
* ShoutOut:
** "Doctor Whomst" mentions the singer having watched ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' as a kid.
** "Escape Rope" is named after an item in the ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}'' series.
* TitleDrop: Happens in "The Title Track" with "pack all your things and we'll move to Somewhere City" and "I'll show you Somewhere City's waiting for you".
