Nowhere

'Nowhere' by Ride is a 1990 track from the album 'Fall - EP'. The lyrics move through regret and disillusion, with a sense of wanting everything, reaching for what slips away, and ending up with only each other after “the heroes are gone”. The perspective sounds chastened, describing what feels like missed chances and an education in hard lessons, while the hope that was held up between two people starts to collapse into a more numb, narrowing outlook. In short, it is a small-scale breakup of expectation, written as the realisation that life does not keep its promises.
