Lirik lagu “This Is Nowhere” oleh The Black Keys menggambarkan keinginan untuk melarikan diri dari realitas dan menemukan kedamaian di tempat yang tidak dikenal. Lagu ini menangkap perasaan ingin menghilang dan memulai lagi di suatu tempat yang jauh dari masalah dan tekanan kehidupan sehari-hari.
[Verse 1]
Gonna take a one way trip to nowhere
Gonna pack my bags, head out to nowhere
Gonna tell my friends I'm goin' back to nowhere, yeah
Have the time of my life when I get to nowhere, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause anywhere's better than here
Wanna disappear, in the atmosphere, for a million years
No discount beers, no alligator tears
Just the sound of the wind blowing past my ears
My ears
[Chorus]
'Cause this is nowhere
Yeah, this is nowhere (This is nowhere)
This is nowhere (This is nowhere)
Yeah, this is nowhere
[Interlude]
(This is nowhere)
[Verse 2]
Gonna tell my baby I'm bound for nowhere
Gonna sell all of my clothes when I get to nowhere
Have the time of my life, when I get to nowhere
Spend the rest of my days in the middle of nowhere, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause anywhere's better than here
Wanna disappear, in the atmosphere, in a golden year
No souvenirs, no stupid tears
Just the sound of the wind blowing past my ears
My ears
[Chorus]
'Cause this is nowhere
Yeah, this is nowhere (This is nowhere)
This is nowhere (This is nowhere)
Yeah, this is nowhere (This is nowhere)
[Bridge]
And I'm not goin' back
I'm gonna waste my life in the sunshine
And I'm not goin' back
I'm gonna waste my life in the sunshine
[Chorus]
'Cause this is nowhere
Yeah, this is nowhere (This is nowhere)
This is nowhere (This is nowhere)
Yeah, this is nowhere (This is nowhere)
[Outro]
(This is nowhere)
(This is nowhere)
(This is nowhere)
(This is nowhere, this is nowhere)
(This is nowhere, this is nowhere)
