Middle Of Nowhere
FELIX SANDMAN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm wide awake, can I call you? (you, you)
Scared I'll say too much, but I know it's never enough
I hope you feel the way I do (do you?)
Gotta go, before I'm stuck here in the middle of nowhere
Gotta go, before I lose my mind thinking it's over (you, you)
I can't take these lies, that are made to hide
If I was quick to start the conversation (would you, would you?)
Stick around, keep you waiting (would you, would you?)
No sleep with all these lights, 'cause you're really all I want
If I was quick to start the conversation (do you?)
Gotta go, before I'm stuck here in the middle of nowhere
Gotta go, before I lose my mind thinking it's over (you, you) (thinking it's over)
I can't take these lies, that are made to hide
Ooh, before I'm stuck here in the middle of nowhere
Do you see the way I look at you?
I see the way you look at me
Lost in your face, I'm so lost in you
Gotta go (gotta go), before I'm stuck here in the middle of nowhere (in the middle of nowhere)
Gotta go (gotta go), before I lose my mind thinking it's over (you, you) (thinking it's over)
I can't take these lies, that are made to hide (to hide)
Ooh, before I'm stuck here in the middle of nowhere
The song "Middle of Nowhere" by Felix Sandman is about the fear of missing out on a chance at love. In the first verse, Sandman is expressing his feelings and hopes that the person he's interested in feels the same. He is hesitant to express himself completely as he's afraid he might say too much. The fear of not being able to express oneself completely in a romantic context is common for many people, and Sandman captures the vulnerability and uncertainty of such situations.
In the chorus, Sandman is urging himself to take action before he's stuck in the middle of nowhere. He is afraid of missing out on his chance at love and potentially losing his mind overthinking about it. The fear of missing out can be stressful and lead to anxiety, and these lyrics capture that sentiment perfectly. The lies that are made to hide in the chorus might refer to the excuses people make up to avoid vulnerability in relationships.
In the second verse, Sandman wonders if the person he's interested in would stick around if he initiated the conversation instead. He is looking for a sign that the person reciprocates his feelings. The phrase "no sleep with all these lights" might mean that Sandman is unable to sleep as he is thinking about the person he's interested in.
Overall, "Middle of Nowhere" is an emotional song that articulates the fear and uncertainty of romantic situations.
