Nobody Knows This Is Somewhere
Unveiling Life's Departures: Nobody Knows This Is Somewhere
Lyrics
Don’t tell me you can’t be here
Expression of frustration or disbelief at the idea of unavailability.
Don’t tell me I’m too complacent
Rejecting the notion of being too passive or self-satisfied.
These distances
Referring to emotional or physical gaps between individuals.
They speak with promise they can’t keep
Highlighting the deceptive nature of promises associated with distances.
Don’t tell me you can’t be here
Reiteration of the rejection of unavailability.
Still they leave like they don’t care
Observation of people leaving without apparent concern.
Like nobody knows this is somewhere
Emphasizing the unnoticed significance of the place being left.
Just the first in a lifetime
Describing the departure as the first of a series of significant moments.
Of leaving behind
The beginning of a pattern of abandonment or separation.
Say,""it’s time that you got moving.
Encouragement to take action and move forward.
Statue stone with moss grown over.""
Metaphorical description of stagnation and lack of progress.
Subtleties are seen without a change of scene
Recognition that subtle changes can be noticed without a change in surroundings.
But they say,
Introducing a reported speech about the world and its wonders.
""Don’t the world just make you wonder?""
Questioning the impact of the world on one's sense of wonder.
Then they leave like they don’t care
Observation of people leaving without apparent concern (repeated).
Like nobody knows this is somewhere
Emphasizing the unnoticed significance of the place being left (repeated).
Just the first in a lifetime
Reiteration of the departure being the first of a series of significant moments.
Of leaving behind
Reiteration of the beginning of a pattern of abandonment or separation.
Yeah I know this changes us
Acknowledging that changes in life have an impact on individuals.
Yeah I know its dangerous
Acknowledging the potential risks associated with change.
But you stay and you get scared
Expressing fear associated with staying in one place.
That though you were okay you went nowhere
Realization that staying in one place can lead to a sense of stagnation.
Just the first in a lifetime
Reiteration of the departure being the first of a series of significant moments.
Of changing your mind
Emphasizing the transformative nature of changing one's mind.
