I'm Not Here
Escaping Reality: A Musical Journey of Solitude and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
My eyes are bleeding and my ears are sore
Expresses physical and emotional distress, feeling overwhelmed.
There's things out there that I can't ignore
Acknowledges external issues that demand attention.
So draw the curtains and lock the door
Suggests a desire for isolation and protection by closing off from the world.
I've no appetite for more
Indicates a lack of interest or capacity for additional experiences.
Silence the bells, stop all the clocks
Advocates for shutting out external stimuli and distractions.
Lose the phone, let the laptop drop
Emphasizes the need to disconnect from technology and communication.
There's being nothing said that I want to hear
Expresses displeasure with the current state of communication.
And if anybody wants me I'm not here
Declares unavailability and a lack of interest in engaging with others.
'Cause where I'm going you can't go
Implies a destination or state of being that others cannot reach.
With my shoulder colder than the arctic snow
Describes emotional distance using the metaphor of coldness.
I'll be harder to reach than the Eskimo
Emphasizes inaccessibility, comparing oneself to an Eskimo in remoteness.
With a hundred words for 'no'
Suggests a firm and definitive refusal with a plethora of negative responses.
Do not disturb, can't you read the signs?
Requests privacy and non-disturbance.
I'll be hunkering down for the longest time
Announces a prolonged period of seclusion.
With a blanket, a book and a Belgian beer
Describes the cocooning process with comforting items.
And if anybody wants me I'm not here
Reiterates the unavailability and disinterest in social interactions.
I'm not here, if the phone rings let it ring
Reinforces the message of unavailability, regardless of the caller's identity.
I'm not here, if it's the president or king
Extends the unavailability to even significant figures like the president or king.
You can just tell them I'm not in
Suggests a straightforward message for those inquiring about the individual.
You might think a witch has cast her spell
Introduces a metaphorical scenario, perhaps indicating a mystical or enchanted state.
You might think I've lost my magic
Addresses potential perceptions of the individual losing their special qualities.
Well, just watch me as I disappear
Declares a disappearance, possibly highlighting a desire for anonymity.
And if anybody wants me I'm not here
Reiterates the unavailability, maintaining consistency in the message.
I said if anybody wants me I'm not here
Affirms the prior statements about unavailability and disinterest.
