Prospect
S&S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A platform far away
Scarlet shades of evening
Move clouds of grey
Awaking arriving
The dirty station where
He passes crowds of people
Here's a desert island room
For a man who's cast away
Stranded in this home from home
From his family far away
Home, well this is it
This is it, is this my heart?
I miss you with all my heart
This is not, is this not my home?
One shoelace, cardboard suitcase
One passport from the Queen
One room for a light bulb
Where no one's been
Sticks and stones, my old bones
Not like 1954
Then they liked me fine
But not anymore
This empty room
Where he's marooned
With nothing left to say
But in the dark
He thinks of home far away
Home, well this is it
This is it, is this my heart?
I miss you with all my heart
This is not, is this not my home?
I feel cold getting old
More than the climate's change
Stranded on this island
The rate of exchange
Here's a desert island room
For a man who's cast-away
Today he will not be at work
There is no work anyway
How is it when you feel it?
Do you wonder what gets you down?
You're looking in the windows
When you walk this town
The song Prospect by Squeeze is a poignant narrative that tells the story of a man who is stranded in a foreign country, far away from his homeland and his family. The song begins with a train ride to Tuesday, which seems to be a metaphorical representation of the man's journey towards a new chapter in his life. The platform is far away, indicating that the man has left everything behind and is now in a place where he knows nobody. The scarlet shades of evening move clouds of grey, perhaps symbolizing the promise of a new dawn and the hope that things will get better.
The man arrives at a dirty station, passing crowds of people who don't see him there. This line may be an allusion to the loneliness and sense of detachment that the man must be feeling in this unfamiliar place. As he enters his desert island room, he realizes that this will be his home for some time. He is marooned in a place that is not his own, and it becomes clear that he misses his family with all his heart. The one shoelace, cardboard suitcase, and one passport from the Queen are indicative of the man's humble circumstances and the difficult life he is leading.
The song's melancholy theme is further emphasized as the man reflects on his old bones and how he feels cold getting old, more than the climate's change. The rate of exchange, which refers to the currency rate, shows how the man's financial situation has worsened, and he is now in a dire situation with no work prospects. Despite his difficult circumstances, the man still wonders about life's mysteries, looking in the windows when he walks this town.
Line by Line Meaning
A train ride to Tuesday
Starting a journey towards an uncertain future
A platform far away
The destination is still out of reach
Scarlet shades of evening
The sky is slowly turning dark
Move clouds of grey
The approaching night brings despair
Awaking arriving
Suddenly realizing the present situation
The dirty station where
In a rundown and neglected place
He passes crowds of people
Moving alone in a sea of humanity
Who don't see him there
Feeling invisible and ignored by everyone around him
Here's a desert island room
Being isolated and alone in a strange place
For a man who's cast away
Being rejected and abandoned by others
Stranded in this home from home
Feeling trapped in an unfamiliar place
From his family far away
Missing loved ones and feeling homesick
Home, well this is it
Accepting the present situation as the new reality
This is it, is this my heart?
Questioning whether this is really what he wants
I miss you with all my heart
Longing for the comfort of home and family
This is not, is this not my home?
Expressing doubt and confusion about his current situation
One shoelace, cardboard suitcase
Having very little to his name
One passport from the Queen
Holding on to his identity and heritage
One room for a light bulb
Living in spartan conditions
Where no one's been
Feeling abandoned and forgotten
Sticks and stones, my old bones
Feeling the effects of age and isolation
Not like 1954
Missing the past and the way things used to be
Then they liked me fine
Remembering a time when he felt accepted and valued
But not anymore
Feeling rejected and forgotten by society
This empty room
Feeling isolated and alone in a bleak environment
Where he's marooned
Feeling trapped and stranded
With nothing left to say
Feeling disconnected and unable to communicate
But in the dark
Feeling despair and hopelessness
He thinks of home far away
Holding onto memories of happier times
I feel cold getting old
Feeling the physical effects of aging
More than the climate's change
Feeling the emotional and existential effects of time
Stranded on this island
Feeling disconnected and alone in a hostile environment
The rate of exchange
Feeling like he's losing more than he's gaining
Today he will not be at work
Being unemployed and directionless
There is no work anyway
Feeling a lack of purpose and opportunity
How is it when you feel it?
Reflecting on the emotional experience of isolation
Do you wonder what gets you down?
Questioning the reasons behind his feelings of depression
You're looking in the windows
Feeling like an outsider, looking in on a society that has rejected him
When you walk this town
Feeling disconnected from a world that has moved on without him
