No Name
O.L.D.F.I.X. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There were sand and hills and rain
The first thing I met was a fly with no buzz
And a sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
Cause there ain't no one to a give you no pain
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told
Of a river that floated
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
After nine days I let the horse run free
Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There were sand and hills and things
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And the perfectest sky is above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
The song "No Name" by O.L.D.F.I.X. takes the listener on a journey through the desert. The opening lyrics describe the vastness and diversity of the desert landscape, with plants, birds, rocks, and sand. However, there is also an absence of life, such as a fly with no buzz and a sky with no clouds. The heat is intense and the ground dry, but the air is full of sound, possibly indicating the sounds of the wind or other natural elements. The singer then reveals that they have been through this desert before on a horse with no name, and that it felt good to be out of the rain. In the desert, there are no external pressures or influences, such as other people, to remind you of who you are or to cause pain.

On the first part of the journey
At the beginning of the journey
I was looking at all the life
I was observing all the living things
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There were various plants, birds, rocks, etc.
There were sand and hills and rain
There was sand, hills, and rain as well
The first thing I met was a fly with no buzz
I encountered a fly that was silent or still
And a sky with no clouds
The sky was cloudless
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
The temperature was high and the ground was parched
But the air was full of sound
Despite that, the air was filled with various sounds
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
I have traveled through the desert on a horse without a name

After two days in the desert sun
Following two days under the hot desert sun
My skin began to turn red
My skin started to redden due to sunburn
After three days in the desert fun
After experiencing three days of enjoyment in the desert
I was looking at a river bed
I was observing a dried-up river
And the story it told
The story it conveyed
Of a river that floated
About a river that used to flow
Made me sad to think it was dead
It made me sad to imagine that the river had died
After nine days I let the horse run free
Finally, on the ninth day, I released the horse
Cause the desert had turned to sea
As the desert had transformed into a sea
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
The ocean is akin to a desert where life exists underground
And the perfectest sky is above
The perfect sky lies above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Beneath the cities is a core made of soil
But the humans will give no love
Nevertheless, humans refuse to show love and appreciation
