Lyrics
There's trouble on the subway, there's something on the track
Reference to obstacles or problems in life, symbolized by trouble on the subway and something on the track.
There's a dead end waiting and we can't go back
Acknowledging a dead end in a situation, implying that going back is not an option.
So take it to the highway, head back and open wide
Suggesting an alternative route (highway) and embracing new opportunities.
Step right up and take a nowhere ride
Invitation to embark on a journey with uncertain outcomes, described as a "nowhere ride."
It's a nowhere road
Repetition emphasizing the theme of being on a directionless and unfulfilling path.
It's a nowhere road
-No matter where it goes
-It's a nowhere road
-It's a nowhere road and I'm tired
Expressing weariness or fatigue in the face of the aimless journey.
It's a nowhere job and I'm fired
Describing a job that leads nowhere and expressing the feeling of being fired or rejected.
It don't matter what they say
Rejecting external opinions or judgments, asserting that it doesn't matter what others say.
You can't get there going this way
Highlighting the futility of the current path, suggesting it won't lead to the desired destination.
From L.A. to Miami and all points in between
Describing a monotonous and unchanging landscape, reflecting the sameness of life's experiences.
Look outside you get the same old scene
-You take it to the highway
Encouraging a change in direction, using the metaphor of traveling on the highway and observing changes in the scenery.
You travel far and wide
-Caterpillars carving up the country side
-It's a nowhere road
Reiteration of the theme of the nowhere road, emphasizing its lack of direction or purpose.
It's a nowhere road
-No matter where it goes
-It's a nowhere road
-It's a nowhere road and I'm tired
Expressing weariness again and possibly the feeling of being stuck on an unfulfilling path.
It's a nowhere job and I'm fired
Reiterating the idea of a job or situation that leads nowhere and expressing the feeling of being fired.
It don't matter what they say
Rejection of external judgments, emphasizing the indifference to what others say.
You can't get there going this way
Restating the idea that the current path won't lead to the desired destination.
It's a nowhere road and I'm tired
Repetition of weariness and exhaustion on the nowhere road.
It's a nowhere road and I'm tired
-It's a nowhere road and I'm tired
