Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Discovering Home's Rhythm: Carmen Townsend's Musical Journey
Lyrics
I think I'd like to go back home
I have a desire to return home.
And take it easy there's a woman that
I want to relax; there's a woman there whom I want to know.
I'd like to get to know living there
Expressing interest in getting acquainted with a woman living at home.
Everybody seems to wonder
Curiosity about what life is like in the current location, a desire to escape.
What it's like down here i gotta get away
Feeling the need to escape the daily hustle and bustle.
From this day-to day running around
Expressing a desire to break free from the routine of day-to-day life.
Everybody knows this is nowhere
General acknowledgement that the current place is unremarkable.
Everybody, everybody knows everybody knows
Emphasis on the widespread understanding that the current situation is unsatisfactory.
Every time I think about back home
Reflecting on thoughts about one's home.
It's cool and breezy
Portraying home as cool and breezy, possibly contrasting it with the current location.
I wish that I could be there right now
Expressing a wish to be at home at this moment.
Just passing time
Passing time, possibly waiting for a better situation.
Everybody seems to wonder
Reiterating the curiosity about the current location and the desire to escape.
What it's like down here i gotta get away
Expressing the need to get away from the daily routine.
From this day-to day running around
Repeating the sentiment of escaping the day-to-day hustle.
Everybody knows this is nowhere
Reaffirming the understanding that the present place is unfulfilling.
Everybody, everybody knows everybody knows
Emphasizing the universal knowledge that the current situation is unsatisfactory.
