Is the sentence okay?
I met this sentence somewhere:
Some out there he love can see us through. Then we will be together somewhere out there. Out where dreams come true.
Sorry, I don't have its context.
I surmise "he love" should be "he loves" or "he loved".
But some puzzles remained;
Some out there he loves can see us through = Some out there (that) he love can see us through.
That is:
Some can see through us.
The "some" are "out there", and the "some" is the people that he loves.
Regarding "see us through", I think it means:
Some can see through our disguise.
Am I on the right track?
===
The big puzzle is that --
if "some can see through our disguise", how can the writer say " Then we will be together somewhere out there. Out where dreams come true"? Since your disguise has been seen through, your dreams would be broken down.
So one of my guesses is that "see through" here means "understand completely". Since the some can understand us very well, then we will be together somewhere out there. Out where dreams come true!
