Lost at Home
Navigating Dreams and Disappearances: Lost at Home by The Automatic
Lyrics
Give me a reason not to keep sleeping
Seeking a reason to stay awake and not succumb to sleep
When I'm awake I feel like I am dreaming
Feeling a sense of unreality or dreamlike state when awake
The world is shrinking, every street's the same thing
Perceiving a monotonous and repetitive world where every street looks the same
I can reach so far but there are people disappearing
Having the ability to reach out but witnessing people disappearing
How can I pretend to know my own mind?
Expressing uncertainty about understanding one's own mind
The more questions I ask, the more I find
Discovering more questions than answers in the quest for self-knowledge
I'm lost at home, out of time
Feeling lost within one's own home and running out of time
The coins I flip land on their side
Experiencing unpredictability, as symbolized by coins landing on their side
I'm holding my breath at your end of town
Holding breath while passing through a particular place
I'm just passing by, not for the first time
Passing through a location not for the first time
If I could rest my head just for a moment
Wishing for a brief respite or moment of rest
Then I think that I would be fine
Believing that a moment of rest would lead to well-being
Slowly sinking, still thinking
Slowly sinking emotionally while contemplating something missing
There must be something I am missing
Expressing a sense of incompleteness or unfulfilled understanding
The streetlight, my sunlight
Symbolizing the streetlight as a source of guidance or hope
I won't sleep, I'm up all night
Staying awake throughout the night
Can't stop till I have been used up
Feeling compelled to continue until completely used up
If I was not lost for words
Reflecting on being speechless or unable to express oneself
Then I'd have nothing to describe
Acknowledging that being lost for words prevents description
I'm holding my breath at your end of town
Repeating the experience of holding breath while passing through a specific place
I'm just passing by, not for the first time
Reiterating the act of passing through a location not for the first time
If I could rest my head just for a moment
Reaffirming the desire for a brief moment of rest or respite
Then I think that I would be fine
Reiterating the belief that a moment of rest would lead to well-being
I'm holding my breath at your end of town
Repeating the experience of holding breath while passing through a specific place
I'm just passing by, not for the first time
Reiterating the act of passing through a location not for the first time
If I could rest my head just for a moment
Reaffirming the desire for a brief moment of rest or respite
Then I think that I would be fine
Reiterating the belief that a moment of rest would lead to well-being
