Down to Nowhere
Journey to Nowhere: Embracing Freedom in a World of Forgotten Dreams
Lyrics
Well I am going down to nowhere
Expressing the intention to head towards an undefined, desolate place.
It is not too far from here
Emphasizing the proximity of this destination, suggesting it's not distant.
And the rain will be running rings
Imagery of rain forming circles around a makeshift fort, possibly symbolizing isolation.
Around this tin fort cavalier
Metaphorically portraying a brave yet flimsy fortress.
And there are skeletons and wastrels
Referencing remnants of past failures and individuals who've wasted their potential.
As far as the eye can see
Highlighting the prevalence of these negative elements in the surroundings.
So if you want me baby
Suggesting that the singer's companion should be aware that this desolation is where they'll be.
Then know that's where I'll be
Reiterating the commitment to this journey towards nothingness.
Yea I am going down to nowhere
Reaffirming the decision to head to nowhere, considering it effortless.
Oh it's child's play
Comparing the journey to nowhere to a simple task or child's play.
We are turning up our collars
Symbolic gesture of disregarding conventional norms by adjusting collars and taking control of life.
We are hijacking the day
Expressing the seizing of the present moment.
You can tell me about your journeys
Inviting sharing of experiences and aspirations.
You can tell me about your dreams
Acknowledging the value of dreams but asserting the uniqueness of the nowhere experienced.
But nothing comes close
Stating that nothing compares to the nowhere the singer has encountered.
To the nowhere that I've seen
Addressing those with specific destinations, implying they're missing something significant.
And all you people heading somewhere
Highlighting the ignorance of those heading somewhere.
Well, you don't know what you're missing
Implying a lack of understanding regarding the beauty of freedom in an unheard space.
'Cause there's nothing like the freedom
Emphasizing the unmatched liberty in a place of non-judgment.
Of a place where no-one listens
La la la da da da...
-So I am going down to nowhere
-It is steeped in history
-This is highrise living
-For a joke like me
-We are such pretty little failures
-On such paved ways with gold
-And nobody will think twice
-About the nothing that they've sold
-Now all you people who are headed somewhere
-Well, you don't know what you're missing
-'Cause there's nothing like the freedom
-Of a place where no-one listens
-So I am going down to nowhere
-With the dropouts and the bums
-I'm a soldier in a vacuum
-When the darkness comes
-I'm a Vaudeville comedienne
-In a theater of bones
-And it's a laugh a minute
-Where nowhere is your home
-La la la da da da...
