Slightly Somewhere Else
Escaping Reality: Slightly Somewhere Else by Henry James Patterson
Lyrics
Out to lunch for seven months
Expressing a hiatus or break from normal routine for seven months.
No way I'm going back I'm done
Emphatically stating a refusal to return; a decision has been made.
You say time keeps on
Acknowledging the passage of time, possibly implying its relentless nature.
Slipping away from you
Suggesting time slipping away, with potential feelings of loss or inability to control it.
I say there's nothing
Denying alternative options; there's a sense of limited choices or agency.
else that I can do
Indicating resignation or acceptance of a situation beyond control.
You could say I'm
Hinting at a shift in focus or perspective; distancing oneself.
Slightly somewhere else off nowhere
Describing a state of being somewhat detached, both physically and mentally.
Climbing flying my way there
Expressing movement, possibly metaphorical, towards an unknown destination.
Oh somewhere someday
Anticipating a future occurrence but uncertain about the specifics.
Not here anyway
Stating a current location is not desirable or suitable.
Yeah well I'll be
Affirming a departure or separation from the current situation.
Slightly somewhere else
Reiterating a sense of being somewhere different or disconnected.
Pain in the neck and in my back
Complaining about physical discomfort, possibly metaphorical.
Love is what's keeping me on track
Attributing the motivation to continue to love; it serves as a guiding force.
Just a taste to know just how it feels
Describing a desire to experience something firsthand for understanding.
Another goes by I love it
Expressing appreciation for time passing, despite a negotiated agreement.
but here's the deal
Acknowledging a conflict or challenge despite the enjoyment of a situation.
You could say I'm
Repeating the theme of detachment and being somewhere else.
Slightly somewhere else off nowhere
Reaffirming the notion of detachment and movement towards an unknown place.
Climbing flying my way there
Continuing the theme of progress and exploration towards an unspecified destination.
Oh somewhere someday
Reiterating anticipation of a future event without specifying details.
Not here anyway
Repeating the sentiment that the current location is not preferred.
Yeah just gone away
Affirming a departure or disappearance from the current situation.
I'll be somewhere else
Reiterating a state of being somewhere different or absent.
