Nowhere To Go
Finding Solace in Chaos: Valley Below's 'Nowhere To Go'
Lyrics
The trees are drunk from the weight of their coats
The trees are burdened by the weight of their leaves.
The sun's low on the line like a big can of coke
The sun is setting, casting a low light resembling a large can of coke.
Well I ain't seen blue skies since I seen something float
Blue skies haven't been seen since witnessing something floating.
And you're just standing there holding a smoke
You are observed standing with a cigarette in hand.
Come on inside you've got nowhere to go
An invitation to come inside is extended, as there's no other destination.
Quit all your fussin' it's time to let go
An urging to stop worrying or being troubled; it's time to release and relax.
I'll light a fire you can pick out the show
Expressing willingness to create a cozy atmosphere, letting you choose the entertainment.
Again and again
This pattern repeats, emphasizing the cyclical nature of the situation.
Sometimes I talk to much, sometimes I lie
Admitting occasional verbosity and dishonesty.
Sometimes I miss you when the sandhills fly by
Feeling a sense of loss when certain natural occurrences happen.
But right from the get-go darlin' you were all fight
Acknowledging the partner's combative nature from the beginning.
And you're just standing there finger held high
You're observed standing with a raised finger, possibly in disagreement or defiance.
Come on inside you've got nowhere to go
Repeating the invitation to come inside, emphasizing the lack of alternative destinations.
Quit all your fussin' it's time to let go
Reiterating the call to stop worrying or being troubled; it's time to release and relax.
I'll light a fire you heat up the stove
Expressing readiness to create warmth while allowing the partner to take charge.
Again and again
The repetitive nature of the situation is highlighted once again.
I like a warm house and you in my bed
Expressing a desire for a warm home with the partner in bed.
I love you right now till the day I am dead
Declaring love in the present moment until death.
But I can't keep hanging round while you're seeing red
Recognizing the challenge of staying while the partner is angry or upset.
And you're still standing there shaking your head
Observing the partner still in a state of disagreement or disapproval.
Come on inside you've got nowhere to go
Reissuing the invitation due to the apparent lack of alternatives for the partner.
Quit all your fussin' it's time to let go
Repeating the advice to stop worrying or being troubled; it's time to release and relax.
I'll light a fire you can pack up a bowl
Reiterating the readiness to create warmth while suggesting packing a bowl, possibly for relaxation.
Again and again
The cyclical pattern continues, emphasizing the repetitive nature of the situation.
