Nowhere Fast

Bisa dikatakan begitu, bisa dikatakan demikian. Judul postingan ini sama dengan lagu milik Valley. Nowhere fast. Bercerita tentang penyesalan dan keputus asaan dalam menyikapi berbagai pilihan yang telah dilalui, itu yang bisa gue tangkap sih.

Karena lirik pembukanya begitu dekat dengan gue pribadi, seakan gue melihat banyak hal tapi juga kehilangan banyak teman dan mengakui kalau gue juga kehilangan apa yang sebenarnya berharga. Keputusan yang gue ambil, gak semuanya berdampak baik. 

Lalu bertanya-tanya tentang semua yang sedang terjadi, kenapa seolah berputar-putar tanpa henti, mengejar sesuatu yang belum tentu terjadi, mengharapkan masa lalu kembali. Mencari-cari validasi, membuang waktu tanpa sadar kehilangan banyak waktu hanya untuk memikirkan hal yang telah lalu.

I'm going nowhere

[Verse 1]

Well I've been going out and getting thin

And I've lost a couple friends that I've traded in

I'm a flying kite in a parking lot

All the precious things I once had are now gone

[Chorus]

I'm going nowhere on an elliptical

And sometimes I just wonder why I can't ever be still

I'm running circles and I'm chasing the past

I'm going nowhere fast, nowhere fast

[Verse 2]

I need to validate, to scratch an itch

All the triumphs that I've had are hanging on my fridge

Am I killing time, or running out?

All the precious things I do are always by myself

[Chorus]

I'm going nowhere on an elliptical

And sometimes I just wonder why I can't ever be still

I'm running circles and I'm chasing the past

I'm going nowhere fast, nowhere fast

[Bridge]

So quick to deny all the problems

I'm spinning out to some natural cause

Out my window, there's enough of the sunlight

To wake me up from the celebrant pause

Fold out like a map on the surface

I know you always like to start with the point

I can't promise I'm the sum of it all

But I'll try to align

[Chorus]

I'm going nowhere on an elliptical

And sometimes I just wonder why I can't ever be still

I'm running circles and I'm chasing the past

I'm going nowhere fast, nowhere fast

I'm going nowhere on an elliptical

And sometimes I just wonder why I can't ever be still

I'm running circles and I'm chasing the past

I'm going nowhere fast, nowhere fast

[Outro]

I'm going nowhere
