Lyrics
Eight miles high
Elevation or altered state of consciousness, possibly referencing a flight or drug experience.
And when you touch down
Suggests a return to reality or a different perspective after the elevated experience.
You'll find that it's
Upon landing, the reality is different and unfamiliar.
Stranger than known
The new reality is strange and not well-known or understood.
Signs in the street
Street signs provide guidance or clues about the direction one is heading.
That say where you're goin'
Direction is indicated, but the destination is uncertain.
Are somewhere
Locations or people maintain their distinct identity, indifferent to external influences.
Just being their own
Entities exist independently, unaffected by external forces.
Nowhere is
A sense of emptiness or lack of comfort, suggesting a desolate place.
There warmth to be found
No comfort or solace is available in the current surroundings.
Among those afraid
People fearing change or instability.
Of losing their ground
Fear of losing one's sense of stability or foundation.
Rain gray town
A town with a gloomy atmosphere, possibly reflecting a depressive mood.
Known for its sound
The town is known for its distinctive sound, possibly musical in nature.
In places
In specific locations, individuals with unrestricted or unrestrained identities.
Small faces unbound
Individuals in certain places are not confined or limited.
Round the squares
People gathering in public spaces, possibly seeking refuge or protection.
Huddled in storms
Individuals huddling together during difficult times or challenges.
Some laughing
Varied reactions to challenges, with some finding humor and others losing form or identity.
Some just shapeless forms
Some individuals are shapeless or lacking definition in the face of adversity.
Sidewalk scenes
Observations of daily life, possibly highlighting mundane or routine scenes.
And black limousines
Symbolic representation of wealth and contrast in society.
Some living
Some people actively engaged in life, while others remain isolated.
Some standing alone
Individuals existing independently or in solitude.
