Lyrics
You threw the keys to the kingdom
You relinquished control or authority to something significant.
Over a skyscraper wall
You threw it beyond reach, perhaps indicating a loss of access or influence.
Sowing seeds somewhere obsolete
Planting seeds in a place that has become irrelevant or forgotten.
In the everlasting nothing
In a state of eternal emptiness or non-existence.
It's been a long night in the slipstream
A prolonged experience in a continuous, smooth flow of events.
I thought I'd crash and burn if I came down
Fear of failure, yet finding solace when facing the inevitable.
When I did I found a friend to take me home
Discovering a companion to guide you back home.
In the everlasting nothing
In the enduring void or emptiness.
Friends I've known come and go
Connections come and go, reminiscent of a soldier without purpose.
Like a soldier with no song
A person trying to find their way despite lacking direction.
Still I try to get back home
Striving to return to a place of comfort.
In the everlasting nothing
In the timeless void or emptiness.
I woke up in a movie
A surreal experience, as if waking up within a film.
Didn't know if it was my whole life
Uncertainty about the reality of one's own existence.
When it ended I laughed before I cried
Responding with laughter to life's absurdities before acknowledging sadness.
In the everlasting nothing
In the enduring void or emptiness.
And I washed up on the shoreline
Symbolic arrival at a significant point with an audience.
Everyone was waiting there for me
Anticipation and recognition by others in a metaphorical celebration.
Like a standing ovation for the funeral of the sun
A tribute to the end of something significant, like the sun.
In the everlasting nothing
In the timeless void or emptiness.
Friends I've known come and go
Reiteration of fleeting connections, akin to a purposeless soldier.
Like a soldier with no song
Persistence in seeking a home or a sense of belonging.
Still I try to get back home
Continued effort to return to a place of comfort.
In the everlasting nothing
In the timeless void or emptiness.
Nowhere child
An encouragement to keep moving forward despite the lack of a clear destination.
Keep on running
A call to persist in the journey of life.
Nowhere child
Reiteration of the need to keep running forward.
Keep on running
Continued encouragement to persist in the journey of life.
In your time you'll find something
In your lifetime, you will discover something meaningful.
In the everlasting nothing
In the enduring void or emptiness.
Nowhere child
A repeated call to keep moving forward.
Keep on running
Encouragement to persist in the journey of life.
Nowhere child
Reiteration of the need to keep running forward.
Keep on running
Continued encouragement to persist in the journey of life.
In your time you'll find something
In your lifetime, you will discover something meaningful.
In the everlasting nothing
In the timeless void or emptiness.

A repeated call to keep moving forward.
Keep on running

In the everlasting nothing
In the enduring void or emptiness.
