Lyrics
He's a real nowhere man
He is a genuine individual with no clear purpose or direction.
Sitting in his nowhere land
He resides in a place that lacks significance or purpose.
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
He is formulating plans that have no specific goals or intended recipients.
Doesn't have a point of view
He lacks a distinctive perspective or opinion.
Knows not where he's going to
He is unaware of his future destination.
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
The speaker suggests that the "Nowhere Man" is similar to the listener.
Nowhere man please listen
An appeal for the "Nowhere Man" to pay attention.
You don't know what you're missing
Implying that the individual is oblivious to valuable experiences.
Nowhere man, the world is at your command
Encouragement for the "Nowhere Man" to take control of his life.
He's as blind as he can be
He is metaphorically blind, only seeing what he wants to see.
Just sees what he wants to see
Reiterating the selective perception of the "Nowhere Man."
Nowhere man, can you see me at all
Questioning if the "Nowhere Man" can perceive the speaker.
Nowhere man don't worry
Assuring the "Nowhere Man" not to worry.
Take your time, don't hurry
Encouraging the "Nowhere Man" to take his time and not rush.
Leave it all 'til somebody else
Suggesting to delay action until someone else offers assistance.
Lends you a hand
Expressing a need for help from others.
Ah, la, la, la, la
A nonspecific vocalization, possibly emphasizing a carefree attitude.
Doesn't have a point of view
Repetition of the idea that he lacks a clear viewpoint.
Knows not where he's going to
Reiteration of his uncertainty about the future.
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Restating the similarity between the "Nowhere Man" and the listener.
Nowhere man please listen
A repeated plea for the "Nowhere Man" to pay attention.
You don't know what you're missing
Reiterating the idea that the individual is missing out on important experiences.
Nowhere man, The world is at your command
Encouragement for the "Nowhere Man" to take control of his life (repeated).
Ah, la, la, la, la
A nonspecific vocalization, possibly emphasizing a carefree attitude (repeated).
He's a real nowhere man
Reiteration of the description of the "Nowhere Man."
Sitting in his nowhere land
Reiteration of his location in a purposeless place.
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Reiteration of formulating plans with no specific goals or recipients.
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Further repetition of formulating plans with no specific goals or recipients.
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Continued repetition of formulating plans with no specific goals or recipients.
