Nowhere Man --- decode - BACK


He's a real nowhere man
(I am not here or there. I am not anywhere.)
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
(I am the Master Storyteller. I have no plans of my own while I write the stories of the other characters in the tale.)

Doesn't have a point of view
(There is no RIGHT or WRONG. There is ONLY POV. Being the Master Storyteller means that you can't have a POV of your own. You ONLY have the POV of the other characters in the story.)
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
(The Master Storyteller is a little like you and me. He has to in order to hold the story together. That is part of world building.)
Nowhere man please listen
(Master Storyteller must always listen as well as hear.)
You don't know what you're missing
(The Master Storytellers is here and then at the same time he is not here.)
Nowhere man, the world is at your command
(Because of this the world is his to command.)

He's as blind as he can be
(Despite his skills in the matters of the characters he always reminds somewhat blind as he doesn't have the powers of an all seeing God, though he might pretend to be.)
Just sees what he wants to see
(The Master Storytellers sees just what he wants to see.)
Nowhere man, can you see me at all
(With all the great powers of the Master Storyteller you can always hide from him at times because of the fact that he is only human.)
Nowhere man don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
(Thoughts take time to form and grow and change and rearrange from one day to the next, like a cake the mixture needs to be turned first before it can be baked, so each time need not be rush, each step needs to be followed in turn for you to have your cake and eat it too.)
Leave it all 'til somebody else
Lends you a hand
(Getting a helping hand is the answers to all problems that can't be fix by oneself, as at times you can really do with some help as that is a force multiplier.)
Ah, la, la, la, la

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, The world is at your command
Ah, la, la, la, la

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
