Nowhere
Lost in the Middle: George Ogilvie's Quest for Solitude
Lyrics
I need somewhere I can imagine
I desire a place where I can create images or ideas in my mind.
when I keep spiralling out of consciousness
During moments of losing awareness or consciousness, I experience a continuous downward spiral.
buried out of reach
Hidden or buried beyond access or grasp.
this hidden white house beside the sea
Referring to a concealed white house located next to the sea.
somewhere I can finally make time move slow with me
A place where time moves slowly in harmony with me, finally allowing a sense of peace.
where we'd all be better off
A belief that everyone would experience improvement or positive changes in such a place.
I'm in the middle again
Feeling stuck or caught in the middle of a situation.
rather be out in the middle of nowhere
Prefer being isolated or situated in an area far from civilization.
I'm in the middle again
Similar sentiment as line 8, feeling stuck in the middle.
rather be out in the middle of nowhere
Desire for seclusion and distance from everything.
Treading cautiously
Proceeding carefully or cautiously.
a change in scenery would be good for me
Change of surroundings would be beneficial.
where the shadows would never speak of our history
In a place where the past or any dark elements are never discussed or acknowledged by shadows.
or ever ask in passing if it all could be everlasting
Wondering if anything could last forever, while being in a different place.
when I'm here and you're there
Distance between the speaker and someone else.
when I'm here and you're there
Repeated distance between the speaker and someone else.
'cos I'm in the middle again
Feeling trapped in a midpoint situation.
rather be out in the middle of nowhere
Desiring isolation and distance from society.
I'm in the middle again
Same as line 20, a wish to be far away.
rather be out in the middle of nowhere
Expressing a longing for seclusion again.
When I'm here and you're there
Continued reference to the distance between the speaker and another person.
when I'm here and you're there
Repeated reference to the distance between the speaker and another person.
when I'm here and you're there
Continued emphasis on the separation between the speaker and another person.
when I'm here and you're there
Repeated emphasis on the separation between the speaker and another person.
I'm in the middle again
Reiteration of feeling stuck in a middle situation.
rather be out in the middle of nowhere
Continued desire for seclusion and distance from society.
I'm in the middle again
Similar sentiment as line 30, expressing a desire to be far away.
rather be out in the middle of nowhere
Repeating the desire for seclusion and distance from everything.
I'm in the middle again
Repeated feeling of being trapped in a midpoint situation.
rather be out in the middle of nowhere
Desiring isolation and distance from society yet again.
When I'm here and you're there
Continued reference to the separation between the speaker and another person.
when I'm here and you're there
Repeated reference to the separation between the speaker and another person.
