Welcome to Nowhere
David Hallyday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
on est comme deux cowboy
Dans un film de Leone
Et on ne craint personne
mais je sais bien que
Notre coeur, est une ville fantome
De tempetes et de poussieres
refrain
On est comme (x2)
Deux etrangers
On fait comme
Mais sur notre amour est marqu?
le soleil,
Brule nos levres
Comme les mots
Qu'on ne sait jamais dit
On ne s'est pas mentis
Il n'ya pas de bon,
De truands
Dans notre love story
Il n'y a pas d'ennemis
Y a qu'on ne sait pas comment faire
Refrain
On est comme (x2)
Deux etrangers
On fait comme
Mais s?r notre amour est marqu?
"welcome to nowhere" (x)
refrain
On est comme (x2)
Deux etrangers
On fait comme
Mais sur notre amour est marqu?
welcome to nowhere
The lyrics to David Hallyday's song "Welcome to Nowhere" speak to the isolation and loneliness that can come with being in a tumultuous relationship. The imagery of two cowboys in a Leone Western suggests a tough exterior and an ability to handle any situation, but the lyrics reveal that their "heart is a ghost town, a true kingdom of storms and dust." It's clear that this couple struggles with communication, as the sun has burned their lips from the words left unspoken.
The chorus repeats the phrase "On est comme deux etrangers" ("We are like strangers") and emphasizes that their love story has no good guys or bad guys, no enemies - it's just two people who don't know how to make things work. The phrase "welcome to nowhere" is repeated at the end, driving home the sense of emptiness and aimlessness that the couple feels.
Overall, the song is a poignant commentary on the difficulty of love and the way that it can leave us feeling lost and alone.
