verse 1 Night sunshine, the ghetto-bird chimes 4am Welcome to the West a mosquito to kiss your hands and feet Welcome to this dirty business I was surprised when you called me a lady Cause I'm still not so sure that that's what I wanna be Cause I remember the 80's And I remember its puffy sleeves You say I'm lucky to be here Then maybe you can take this over And I'll gladly wear the pants into the next century Past the scanners with ease Past armies of them who once played in a band And wasted it complaining like a trust fund kid Paying you to play here while they hate you because of it You say I'm lucky to be here But I've been driving for 21 days INTERLUDE Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh verse 2 What's that nasty sound? The e-brake drags the ground God, if you only knew what my candied fist could do The curtain's closing in from all directions Just answer my question perhaps it's best if I continue Starring me as you, me as you Starring me as you, me as you And there you are at the edge of the world Mmm-mmm dangling with my heart a' pounding Above a gulf of hamstrung promises You sang like Auld Lang Syne You wanted it so badly that you believed them at the time Every fashion's flame every jet plane lie Every second helping of that off-ramp fame we die a little OUTRO You're right I'm from Nowhere You're right I'm from Nowhere You're right I'm from Nowhere You're right

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un sentiment d’errance et d’incertitude sur son identité, tout en faisant allusion à des souvenirs du passé et à des aspirations pour l'avenir. Elle parle de la lutte entre le sentiment d’être chanceux d’être là et la réalité d’une vie marquée par des doutes et des déceptions. L'artiste semble remettre en question les attentes qui lui sont imposées, tout en reconnaissant la superficialité du succès et des promesses non tenues qui l'entourent. Le contexte met en lumière une lutte personnelle, l'idée de se sentir à la fois perdue et témoin du monde qui l’entoure. Il y a un mélange de nostalgie pour des jours plus simples et de résistance face aux défis actuels, ce qui donne une profondeur à son récit.
