Nowhere To Go
A.G. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bird, you've so many hearts on your sleeve
One for each feather
And several for me
Blue eyes blink bright lights
Through leaves on the trees
From seeds that did grow where you sowed

You'll never have nowhere to go

Look at this silver and gold
Shook through a tangle of thorns

Bird, we've so many days spent beside
This sulk of a river
Now we're deep down dyed
Into the marrow and out with the tide
With all that you have and I hold

You'll never have nowhere to go

Your heart, it holds more than your hands
Not bought or sold, more than mountains
Your heart, it holds more than your hands
Not bought or sold, more than mountains

Look at this silver and gold
To never have nowhere to go

You'll never have nowhere to go
You'll never have nowhere to go




You'll never have nowhere to go
You'll never have nowhere

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to A.G.'s song "Nowhere to Go" express a sense of comfort and security in the presence of someone whom the singer deeply cares for. The opening lines speak of a bird with many hearts on its sleeve, perhaps representing the many layers of emotion and vulnerability that can exist within individuals. The singer observes how the bird's blue eyes blink bright lights through leaves on trees, a beautiful and natural image that suggests the unburdened joy and freedom that can exist in moments of connection. The last line of the stanza highlights the idea that growth comes from sowing seeds, and that the bird will never truly run out of places to go because of the limitless capacity for growth and change.


The second stanza continues this theme with a reference to silver and gold being shaken through a tangle of thorns, perhaps symbolizing the difficulties and challenges one may encounter in life. The image of a river reinforces the idea of fluidity and growth, as the singer notes how they and the bird have spent many days beside the river, becoming deeply rooted and intertwined with each other. The singer then emphasizes the strength and depth of the emotional connection they share by saying "with all that you have and I hold, you'll never have nowhere to go."


In the final stanza, the singer directly addresses the bird and tells it that its heart holds more than its hands, highlighting the intangible yet powerful nature of emotions and connections. The repetition of the phrase "not bought or sold" emphasizes the idea that true emotional connections cannot be quantified or commodified. The song ends with a steady repetition of the line "you'll never have nowhere to go," expressing the reassuring presence of the singer and the sense of security and comfort they provide.
