Middle Of Nowhere
Bunch of Bastards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i love the city's endless bustle
couldn't live without it's lively hustle
sometimes it all just gets too much
then i wish i could be out of touch
i love to be among the crowd
go to gigs and shout along real loud
then i wish i could be out of touch
i wanna be (wanna be), wanna be (wanna be)
in the middle of nowhere, you and me
i wanna hide (wanna hide), wanna hide (wanna hide)
in the middle of nowhere, by your side
in the middle of nowhere, by your side
i love the buzz of a brimming pub
and be on the stands of my favourite club
sometimes it all just gets too much
then i wish i could be out of touch
i love to have a job well done
and getting the stress of another one
sometimes it all just gets too much
then i wish i could be out of touch
i wanna be (wanna be), wanna be (wanna be)
in the middle of nowhere, you and me
i wanna hide (wanna hide), wanna hide (wanna hide)
in the middle of nowhere, by your side
in the middle of nowhere, by your side
you think i live my life too fast
you fear this way i might not last
but i know i'll end up – yes i do
in the middle of nowhere just with you
don't mind to be in a traffic jam
or a commuter train, and get real cramped
sometimes it all just gets too much
then i wish i could be out of touch
i really love to party down
with family and friends around
but sometimes it all gets too much
then i wish i could be out of touch
i wanna be (wanna be), wanna be (wanna be)
in the middle of nowhere, you and me
i wanna hide (wanna hide), wanna hide (wanna hide)
in the middle of nowhere, by your side
in the middle of nowhere, by your side
i wanna be (wanna be), wanna be (wanna be)
in the middle of nowhere, you and me
i wanna hide (wanna hide), wanna hide (wanna hide)
in the middle of nowhere, by your side
in the middle of nowhere, by your side
The lyrics to Bunch of Bastards' "Middle of Nowhere" describe the singer's love for the energy, excitement, and buzz of city life, but also the desire to escape from it and be with someone they love. The singer enjoys being around crowds, going to concerts, and being part of the hustle and bustle of a busy city. However, in moments of stress or overstimulation, they long for the quiet and solitude of the middle of nowhere, away from the chaos of the city.
The chorus emphasizes this desire, with the repeated phrase "I wanna be in the middle of nowhere, you and me" suggesting a romantic isolation from the rest of the world. The final verse adds a note of defiance, as the singer acknowledges concerns about living too fast but ultimately declares that they will end up in the middle of nowhere with their loved one.
Overall, "Middle of Nowhere" captures the tension between the excitement of city life and the need for solitude and connection, presenting a relatable experience of finding balance in a busy world.
