@[SoldierSide77:15000] Hey Soldier, I was wondering if anyone would ever ask this question. Like Blue October, I am from Houston. Houston is huge but generations of my family went to the same H.S. that Justin and the boys attended. We call it The Heights primarily in the zip code of 77009. HOWEVER, super close (5 minutes or so), there is another neighborhood called Denver Harbor, also known as 5th Ward. I think he's making a reference to the street named Winston in zip 77009 which again, is close enough to Denver Harbor for him to use them together. "Turn on Winston in The Den" rhymes with "When you make breakfast after Ten". "Turn on Winston in The Heights...When you make breakfast after ten" - wouldn't cut it. Anyway, I that's my best guess unless there's music from somebody named Winston he put on to listen to. If so, I want to know who they are! -Rivershoes |

'Just the Other Side of Nowhere' is about the dismantling of one's convictions. Yes, to no avail, he suspects he's done all he can do to prove there's validity in them. Now finding himself feeling very alone in his defeat, the song's bigger message is of shame or guilt. He had to flee from somewhere that he now reveals to himself as "home" to get here. Probably not a completely selfless act, meaning people were most likely left to deal with their real loss of him when he did. That's his first revelation of guilt. The second are probably the things he resorted to doing in order to survive during this endeavor that could've been seemingly beneath him or are in direct conflict with who he was when he thinks of himself back "home". And thirdly, I think most importantly, is the shame felt when he knows its finally time to believe he just wasn't good enough. Despite his good intentions and exhausted efforts, it just finally fell apart so miserably there was no way to make it all ever come together. -Amy aka Rivershoes |
