8. Nowhere Bound (Novak, Schelander)

I'm wide awake but I'm broken
I've crashed my life down to the ground

I'm lost, alone in the moment
I had you call me a while

And what I've lost lies scattered all around me
And what you said just left a hole inside me

Oh, I fight to get up every morning
Though my life's been dashed to the ground

I need to change my ways and get my act together
and I need to realize you're gone
If we don't reconcile this pain might last forever,
then I'm nowhere bound
Nowhere bound and nowhere to be found

Nowhere bound...

I can't pretend, when it's so clear inside
I need to make amends and get it right

I need to change my ways and get my act together
and I need to realize you're gone
If we don't reconcile this pain might last forever,
then I'm nowhere bound
Nowhere bound and nowhere to be found

Please don't uncover me
I'm down to the bare wire and nowhere bound
Please don't uncover me I'm down

And then I'm nowhere bound
Oh! If we don't reconcile I'm nowhere bound

Oh, please remember when...

Oh, remember me if you're nowhere bound
Nowhere bound and nowhere to be found

The lyrics of "Nowhere Bound" by The Houses convey a deep sense of emotional turmoil and reflection on loss and self-realization. The singer expresses a feeling of being wide awake but broken, as if their life has come crashing down around them. They feel lost and alone in the present moment, and the memories of someone who once called them are haunting them, serving as a sharp contrast to their current state of despair. The imagery of scattered loss and a hole left inside them emphasizes the extent of their emotional devastation.

Despite the overwhelming pain and confusion, the singer acknowledges the need to pick themselves up and change their ways to move forward. There is a recognition that they must accept the reality of the person they have lost and come to terms with the fact that they are no longer a part of their life. The fear of facing eternal pain if they fail to reconcile with their emotions is palpable, symbolized by being "nowhere bound" and having nowhere to be found.

The plea to not uncover the singer reveals their vulnerability and desperation to remain hidden in their current state of brokenness, down to the bare wire and adrift in their emotions. The repeated refrain of "nowhere bound" emphasizes the idea of being trapped in a state of limbo, unable to move forward without confronting their inner turmoil and the loss they have experienced. The final plea for remembrance and acknowledgment serves as a cry for understanding and compassion from the person they have lost, suggesting a longing for closure and healing in the face of emotional wreckage.

Overall, the lyrics of "Nowhere Bound" paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with profound loss and the need to come to terms with their pain in order to find a path towards healing and redemption. The raw emotions and introspective tone of the song invite listeners to reflect on their own struggles with acceptance and the complexities of moving forward after experiencing heartbreak.

I'm wide awake but I'm broken
Despite being fully conscious, I feel shattered and incomplete

I've crashed my life down to the ground
I have ruined my life and hit rock bottom

I'm lost, alone in the moment
Feeling directionless and isolated in the present

I had you call me a while
I long for your presence and your voice echoes in my mind

And what I've lost lies scattered all around me
Everything I once held dear is now in pieces around me

And what you said just left a hole inside me
Your words have created a void within me

I need to change my ways and get my act together
It's time for me to improve and gather myself

and I need to realize you're gone
I must accept that you are no longer part of my life

If we don't reconcile this pain might last forever
If we don't resolve our issues, the hurt will linger indefinitely

then I'm nowhere bound
Without resolution, I will remain lost and stuck

Nowhere bound and nowhere to be found
Trapped in a state of limbo, with no clear path forward

Please don't uncover me
I am vulnerable and exposed, don't reveal my weaknesses

I'm down to the bare wire and nowhere bound
Stripped down to my most basic self, feeling lost and directionless

Oh, please remember when...
Reflecting on past memories and times shared

Oh, remember me if you're nowhere bound
Think of me if you ever feel lost or stuck
