Nowhere To Run
BOGA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide.
It's not love, I'm a running from,
It's the heartbreak I know will come.
'Cause I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me.
Ev'rywhere I go, your face I see, ev'ry step I take, you take with me yeah
Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
I know you're not good for me, but free of you I'll never be, no.
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep.
I wake up feelin' sorry I met you, hoping soon that I'll forget you.
When I look in the mirror to comb my hair
I see your face just a smiling there.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from you baby,
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide.
I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me,
How can I fight a lover, that shouldn't be, when it's so deep,
So deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high I can't get over it
It's so wide I can't get around it, no
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from you baby
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try to
I know you're no good for me, but free of you I'll never be,
Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide, got nowhere to run to baby
The song "Nowhere to Run" by BOGA is about a complicated relationship where the singer is feeling trapped and unable to escape from a person who they know is no good for them. They keep seeing this person's face everywhere they go, and even when they close their eyes at night, they still cannot escape the person who has become a part of them. The singer acknowledges that they are not in love with this person, but they are afraid of the heartbreak that will follow if they leave. The lyrics "Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide" is a metaphor for the singer's feeling of being trapped and unable to escape. They have been unable to break free from someone who they know is not good for them, and they fear they will never be able to.
The lyrics use simple language and repetitive phrases to emphasize the singer's feeling of being trapped. The use of repetition creates a hypnotic effect on the listener, which effectively conveys the singer's sense of feeling trapped. The use of the word "baby" also adds to the emotional complexity of the song. It suggests that the singer still has feelings of love for this person despite knowing that they are not good for them. The song encapsulates the singer's feeling of powerlessness and inability to break free from a toxic relationship.
