But the beauty with a curious combination of media savvy, humor, and poise plans to tackle a lot more than guest spots on Fox in 2012. Acting auditions are now a part of her life, as are performing songs for several sporting organizations such as the NFL, MBL and has recently joined forces with Muay Thai boxing to perform the national anthem at major international competitions. It’s all part of Bryna’s fascinating and expanding universe beyond the predictable and often insular world of Nashville’s country scene -- and her die-hard supporters are along for the ride.
No Mans Land
Laura Bryna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To analyze this strange frontier I come
No man?s land
It's like a spaceship came in the middle of the night
And carried away all the single guys and left us
In no man?s land
If you're a long tall cool drink of water
Well, you won't be long too long
'Cause the good ones have all gone
So come on out to no man?s land
Our lingerie is collecting dust
My underwire is about to rust
We're stuck in no man?s land
It's gotten so bad that Billy Jean
Seriously considering switching teams
It's rough in no man?s land
If you're a long tall cool drink of water
An oasis in this dry desert sand
Well, you won't be long too long
'Cause the good ones have all gone
You're welcome here in no man?s land
Oh, come on
We're manicured, we're dressed to thrill
So what's with all this time to kill
We've searched online a thousand times and still
We're all heading home to watch TV
Stopping on the way to buy batteries
Admit it, we're in no man?s land
If you're a long tall cool drink of water
An oasis in this dry desert sand
Well, you won't be long too long
'Cause the good ones have all gone
Why?all come on out to no man?s land
Yeah, we're desperate here in no man?s land
Ten of us for every one of you
The lyrics to Laura Bryna's song No Man's Land speak to the experience of single women in today's society in a humorous yet pointed way. The song highlights the challenges facing women who feel like they are stranded in a romantic wasteland, where all of the good men seem to have disappeared. The song sets a cheeky and lighthearted tone from the outset as Bryna gathers her female listeners to analyze this strange frontier that she refers to as 'No Man's Land'. The title of the song itself symbolizes this idea of being stuck in a place that is devoid of meaningful connections.
Bryna paints a vivid picture of what it feels like to be single in a world where the good guys seem to be in short supply. The metaphor of a spaceship coming in the middle of the night and taking all the single men away is both clever and relatable. The lyrics speak to the frustration of attractive, well-groomed women who are doing all the right things but still cannot seem to find a good partner. The chorus is especially poignant as Bryna sings about welcoming any man who is an oasis in the desert sand of no man's land. The idea of switching teams, a nod to the possibility of exploring same-sex relationships, emphasizes the sheer desperation of being stuck in a place where romance is scarce.
