Our Special Place
The Queenstons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A man atop the roof
After climbing high
Looking back down at the vines
That scaled as years passed by
A woman lights a fire
From the bottom of the greens
The man begins to panic
And jumps while he screams

"This place is nowhere after all"
"This place is nowhere after all"

As I seep into the blackest void of all
I'm nothing, I am no one
As I sleep I hear them creeping down the hall
They're nothing, they're all gone

But it's okay to be afraid
When you're staring face to face
With time that's gone to waste

A man walks the clouds
After soaring high
Looking back down at the mountains
Reaching for the sky
A woman cries her eyes out
Just to fill the clouds with grey
As the man falls down to earth
People swear they hear him say

"This place is nowhere after all"
"This place is nowhere after all"

As I seep into the blackest void of all
I'm nothing, I am no one
As I sleep I hear them creeping down the hall
They're nothing, they're all gone

But it's okay to be afraid
When you're staring face to face
With time that's gone to waste
And it's okay to hide away
To overcome the fears
That ruin all the days

As I seep into the blackest void of all
I'm nothing, I am no one
As I sleep I hear them creeping down the hall
They're nothing, they're all gone
As I seep into the blackest void of all
I'm nothing, I am no one




As I sleep I hear them creeping down the hall
They're nothing, they're all gone

Overall Meaning

"Our Special Place" by The Queenstons tells a story of a man and a woman in two different scenarios. The first scenario involves a man who has climbed onto a roof and is looking back down at the vines that he had seen grow over the years. As the woman at the bottom of the greens lights a fire, the man begins to panic and jumps while he screams, ultimately realizing that "this place is nowhere after all." The second scenario features a man who walks on clouds, looking back down at the mountains that are reaching for the sky. A woman in this scenario cries her eyes out, filling the clouds with grey, while the man falls to earth and people swear they hear him say, "this place is nowhere after all."


The lyrics evoke strong themes of mortality and the fleeting nature of life. The man jumping off the roof and the man falling from the clouds both signify an end to life, while the woman crying her eyes out suggests the emotional toll of loss. The repetition of the line "this place is nowhere after all" further highlights the sense of emptiness and the fleeting nature of life.


Overall, "Our Special Place" is a poignant and introspective song that encourages listeners to confront their fears and appreciate the time they have.

Theory:
A man atop the roof - From the bottom of the greens, the man begins to panic, and jumps while he screams
This represents his life being at it's peak by finding a lover, but it just ends up coming crashing down.

This place is nowhere after all - This place is no where after all
This part is him getting overwhelmed with emotions as the thoughts corrupt his mind as the bad thoughts worsen.

As I seep into the blackest void of all - I'm nothing, I'm no one
This is the same as the last one, only difference being the thoughts are creeping into his self confidence as he is probally thinking he will never find another lover.

Their nothing - Their all gone
The thoughts are now reaching their worst point. The thoughts are corrupting his view on everyone else and causing him despair.

But it's okay to be afraid - when you're staring face to face with time that's gone to waste
Being scared of being turned down again and not wanting to take another shot. Seing as he was probally turned down, it was all a waste.

A man walks on the clouds - Reaching for the sky
He basically suffered a mental suicide, As he tries to picture being in a relationship again. While in an attempt to keep his hopes as high as possible.

And its okay to hide away, to over come the fears - And its okay to hide away, to over come the fears
Hiding himself from society because mentally to himself, he is nothing, and will never get another chance to find another lover. While passing it off as "Taking a break" while deep down he knows the truth.

This song is amazing and i had a lot of fun writing this comment for some reason lol its 9:20, i need to get sleep bc my sleep schedule is messed up rn so have a good afternoon/morning/night :)
