Reviews for Nowhere Man Lyrics

living the life as you recall yesterday, today and tomorrow with today be living in the now, yesterday has flown away! as we speculate "tomorrow,,,,,, a realizeation",even if momentarily escaping this minor depressive_state is a realized point in which you conclude yes my bird can sing but he cant see me.

The song remembered and popped into my head while driving recently for a reason, the lyrics incredibly on point to the pain a nowhere man (woman) have caused upon me. Why John wrote it has to have been him trying to make sense of whomever caused pain upon him. Also, you cannot work (collaborate) with a nowhere man, whoever thinks this could be about Paul is not getting it.

This song, as for most songs, was a product for someting new to sing and play. A change from what the band was always playing. And of course to make money! It may mean a lot of things, to a lot of people and thier ideals and that is why they want to hear it , or sing it. All of us are influenced by what has happened to us and our loved ones. this song touches people, so we have to dwell on it. I am sure there are many songs that are not hits because they fail to connect to People. John just dreamed it up , and we bought it!!

It amazes me how people can just make up what John Lennon was thinking when he wrote the song. God....Childhood etc.... How about something as simple as: In a 1971 interview with Rolling Stone, Lennon recalled the background to this song: "I remember I was just going through this paranoia trying to write something and nothing would come out so I just lay down and tried to not write and then this came out, the whole thing came out in one gulp."

This song touches on a little bit of us all. We all live in our own little worlds. This tends to narrow our perspectives. Perhaps it may be that we are no one without everyone. "Can you see me at all". Don't be too self-absorbed and pull your head out once in while.

...as if they are a diary of prose. John had been trying to come up with a viable song for a long time and near the end of the day this finally came out as a stream of consciousness (just as most lyrics do). It describes well the state of mind when nothing worthwhile is coming to mind.

i read somewhere that this song, like many songs & movies and books goes back to "We see darkly, through a mirror". The scriptures tell us this because we see things through the mirror of the world until we get new eyes through Christ. And, as many artists look through the worlds eyes, this song states the WE are going to command our fate and future.. Wrong?

This song describes the life of John Lennon and includes all people who consider themselves to be nowhere man, including me. Not knowing where to live because they live in a world of nowhere always makes us bitter and tormented man. But do not worry nowhere man, hopefully we get a happy life....

To me, this songs represents humanity; society as a whole. This "Nowhere Man" is a man lost in his consumerism, in his own mind and his own thoughts, losing his grasp on what life really is. He's too distracted and immersed in his depression to leave his house and his closed mind and open himself to new discoveries.

The first time I heard this song I thought it was a perfect description of a life without Jesus Christ at its core. No matter what plans we make, if we aren't considering them in the light of eternity, our plans are going nowhere.

This song appears to be written based on an interpretation of Dostoevsky's "Notes From Underground." Yes, it is also about dealing with existentialism and how it leads scholars and the "Nowhere Man" to brood and think too hard, often to the point of depression. However, like those suffering from depression, the Nowhere Man cannot simply be told to get up and feel happy. The song provides a good argument because it begs the Nowhere Man to listen; it does not command him. It's a sort of therapeutic plea for the man to come out from underground.

I think John wrote this song about himself and his childhood life until The Beatles. He had felt so much hurt and pain in his life and none of it mad any sense. His pain turned to anger and a disregard for life and he turned into the Nowhere Man. This song is an invitation to accept the past for what it was and to move on into the great life that was ahead of him.
I've been calling myself the Nowhere Man for the last year for a similar childhood.

This song, for me, represents my brother who has aspercer syndrome. All most all the lyrics apply to him and represent him. He lives in his own little world most the time, even though he is a genious, he just does his computer games and that is about it for his life.

This song was brought to my opinion by my father who, to me, mysteriously thumbed up this Beatles song (amongst others). To this day I do not know why he liked this song. My father died in 2009, (strange to express one's father's demise in dates). Maybe my mom can shed a light on the matter.

I always thought that this song was not about a person per`se but about people who just conformed, this was a common critique during the 50's & 60's.

Maybe it's just me, but whenever I listen to this song, I think of Richard Nixon.
