Nothing On My Mind
Journey Through the Unseen: Nothing On My Mind by John T. Wurzer
Lyrics
Too many trains are going nowhere from this station
Expressing a sense of aimless motion and lack of purpose in life.
Too many windows look upon what isn't there
Highlighting the prevalence of empty or unfulfilling perspectives.
Too many maps that have no route or destination
Pointing out the existence of plans or ideas without clear direction.
Too many fortune telling gypsies at the fair
Referencing the abundance of unreliable predictions and influences.
I'm drowning in the depths of my surroundings
Feeling overwhelmed by one's surroundings and experiences.
This tapestry of scenes still drives me blind
Indicating that a complex and confusing array of scenes is affecting clarity.
The voices in my head are still resounding
Voices in the mind persisting, possibly reflecting inner struggles.
Even though I've still got nothing on my mind
Despite the chaos, the speaker remains mentally unoccupied or free.
A desperate, blowing blizzard of white memories
Recalling memories turning into something darker and less comforting.
Just turned itself to black smoke over time
Words losing significance and becoming hollow over time.
A waterfall of words becoming empty
Describing a cascade of words devoid of meaningful content.
Meaningless in senseless perfect rhyme
Highlighting the futility of arranging words in perfect but meaningless rhyme.
Waltzing with a muse inside an airport
Engaging with inspiration in an unlikely or mundane setting (airport).
Quite vindictive but eight hundred miles behind
Suggesting a vengeful aspect to the creative process, with a significant distance.
Proving as I sit here in the food court
Asserting the ability to create despite being in a common and uninspiring place.
I can write this song with nothing on my mind
Emphasizing the capacity to write a song without a specific focus.
I got nothing to remember and nothing to forget
Stating a lack of memorable experiences or things to forget.
Nothing says I love you like the words I ain't said yet
Emphasizing the importance of actions over unspoken words in expressing love.
In tragedy prosperity is flawlessly designed
Suggesting that challenges and hardships are purposeful in shaping our lives.
To strand us here with nothing on my mind
Being stranded with an empty mind as a consequence of life's design.
Confusion is a word for what I'm feeling
Describing a state of perplexity and uncertainty in emotions.
Every time I see those eyes inside my dreams
Referring to recurring images of someone's eyes in dreams.
Delusion is a word for double dealing
Labeling deceitful actions as a form of self-deception.
All the cards that you keep hidden in your jeans
Highlighting hidden intentions or secrets kept in clothing.
Elation is a once divided memory
Describing a joyous memory that was once divided but now unified.
That had nothing else to do but bump and grind
Expressing that a joyous memory had no other purpose than enjoyment.
Creation is a lost art getting friendly
Suggesting that the creative process has become more approachable or informal.
Now that I've got nothing on my mind
Reflecting on the ease of creation when the mind is unoccupied.
Nothing to remember, I got nothing to forget
Reiterating the absence of memorable experiences or things to forget.
Nothing says I love you like the words I ain't said yet
Reemphasizing the value of actions in expressing love over unspoken words.
In tragedy prosperity is flawlessly designed
Restating the idea that challenges are purposeful in shaping our lives.
To strand you here with nothing on my mind
Concluding with the theme of being stranded with an empty mind.
