This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel cruel things that you said
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
I got bruises on my memory
I got tear stains on my hands
And in the mirror there's a vision
Of what used to be a man
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
Oh I'm
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
I'm a thousand, I'm a thousand, I'm a thousand
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel cruel things that you said
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
I got bruises on my memory
I got tear stains on my hands
And in the mirror there's a vision
Of what used to be a man
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
Oh I'm
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
I'm a thousand, I'm a thousand, I'm a thousand

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Why has no one replied to this song? It's one of his best works, incredible song.
Ahh I love this song it's so great.
This is what was playing the first time I ever watched CMT (when it was in the UK). Great song.
man i wish i was 1,000 miles from nowhere right now!
Yes; this song is very underrated, along with a lot of other 90’s country music; to me it’s a treasure trove of amazing songs and great memories. Your mileage may vary. But yeah, this song to me seems to be about being at a crossroads, and it feels like he doesn’t care anymore, he’s giving up, nothing matters anymore so whether it’s one mile or a thousand miles, doesn’t matter. Every where you go, there you are. You can’t really run from anything. I mean you can try but it’s just denying the inevitable and delaying it a bit. Just go ahead and face it head on. No other way to do it, really.
Loneliness is a place you travel to, remember that. No one gets lonely out of bad luck, you have to CHOOSE to be alone in this world. Because everyone; and I mean everyone, is looking for a friend. Especially these trying times. It’s so easy to find a friend nowadays. Just don’t limit yourself and keep an open mind. If you tend to judge people harshly then try and see that we’re all just looking for someone to appreciate and love us. It’s not that hard to see. We’re social creatures, we completely break down without others around. We need each other more than you probably realize so don’t ever choose to be alone jd given the opportunity to not be alone. It’s a lonely life when you’re the only person you interact with. I mean I think I’m pretty cool and awesome but even I don’t enoy spending all my time with myself. That’s insanity.
Brilliant tune, brilliant artist - agree with the previous comment — he’s at a F-it moment. Just let life come at you; take it as it comes.
To me; the older I get - don’t take life too seriously. Enjoy more; work less. We’ve got but one life on this earth. Make it with it. Not to be stupid and quit your job etc…. But don’t live to work; work to live. Work is a means to and end.
Anyhow; rant over - excellent song regardless
