Jets Overhead – Heading for Nowhere Lyrics

Jets Overhead · Alternative Times, Volume 105

Rock

I'm looking for something that I didn't notice was gone
Weeks, maybe months just went by without anything wrong
Now I'm aware I can't stop the repeating alarm
Here in this place I get peace, I get war, I get on

Standing at the station
Falling out of line
Missing my connection
Asking for the time

End at the beginning
Back onto the street
Always chasing something
Even in our sleep

(We got the time)
Heading for nowhere

I'm ready for something I finally noticed was gone
Head to the place where I go when I know what went wrong
Moments repeat, colors change to the beat of a song
Counting the days I get by and the days I get on

End at the beginning
Back onto the street
Always chasing something
Even in our sleep

(We got the time)
Heading for nowhere

Standing at the station
Looking at the map
Stopping for a moment
Just before the crash

Wow. Totally cool. Great lyrics that really are interesting and make you connect to them in some pretty intense ways.

I think this song is about the preoccupation with not thinking about our lives in the present moment, that which is most important. Living for the future inevitably brings us "to the place" (the past), through mistakes, what would be, what may be and what was, good or bad; the mindset of something other than: now. Where are we going? :)

I think it is talking about a relationship that fell apart when he wasn't looking. Having just had a very long relationship end, and it surprised me because I thought everything was ok, I can really relate to this song.
