Nowhere
Beborn Beton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knowing you're somewhere
I haven't seen the warning sign
Although you were my friend
I hear your voice
I can still remember
I see you falling down
Still feel the warmth of your hand
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
When there's no place to flee from remorse
Repentance won't alter the course
There's no escape from myself
Whatever happened, there's no use
Knowing they'll never find me
If only I could turn back time
To make a change, but then
You had the choice we've
Always been contenders
Give me a reason why
I still feel the warmth of your hand
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
When there's no place to flee from remorse
Repentance won't alter the course
There's no escape from myself
The song "Nowhere" by Beborn Beton is a melancholy piece about regret, grief and the impossibility of escaping one's own conscience. The opening lines reveal the tragic event that triggered these emotions - the singer saw a picture of someone he used to know in the news, indicating that the person has passed away. The way the singer expresses his feelings is intriguing; he confesses that he didn't see the warning signs, despite having been friends with the person. This could mean that the death was sudden and unexpected, leaving the singer to ponder whether he could have done something to prevent it. He then remembers the person's voice and how they fell, and this memory is still so vivid that he can feel the warmth of their hand.
The chorus is where the main theme of the song comes in - the feeling of being trapped by one's own conscience. The lyric "nowhere to run, nowhere to hide" is a testament to this, as the singer realizes that there's no escaping the guilt, grief and regret that he's feeling. Even if he repents, it won't change what has already happened. The line "there's no escape from myself" is particularly poignant. It shows that the singer feels trapped within his own mind, unable to find closure or move on from what has happened.
