Going Nowhere
Berlue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Going nowhere now)
(Stuck in crisis)
(In-in-in-in)
When I look into the mirror
All I see is an anxious kid
Running through a labyrinth
When I look into the future
All I see is the same old shit
Running through my head
Running through my head
Running through my head
Going nowhere
Going nowhere now
Stuck in crisis
In this fractured house
All of my life
I never can get off the ground
Going nowhere
Going nowhere now
Feel like I'm floating in the darkness
Feel like I'm clinging to a desperate hope
That there's something for me in the unknown
Or is it all gone?
In our corner of the universe
Is there something more than misery?
Coming after me
Coming after me
Coming after me
Going nowhere
Going nowhere now
Stuck in crisis
In this fractured house
All of my life
I never can get off the ground
Going nowhere
Going nowhere now
Will it be this way forever?
Is it all just in my mind?
Can I get my shit together tonight?
The song "Going Nowhere" by Berlue is a reflection on life struggles and the feeling of being stuck in a crisis. The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and frustration with one's current situation. The first verse speaks about the anxiety that consumes the singer when looking in the mirror. They see themselves as a child and feel lost in a metaphorical labyrinth they cannot escape. The second part of the verse imagines the future as being full of the "same old shit" constantly running through their head without any way to escape it.
The chorus reinforces the feeling of being stuck and going nowhere. The repetition of the line "Going nowhere now, stuck in crisis" emphasizes the singer's feelings of hopelessness and the inability to move forward in life. The phrase "fractured house" suggests an inner turmoil that creates a dysfunctional environment and prevents progress.
The second verse shifts to a more existential perspective. The singer feels lost and alone in the darkness, clinging to the hope that there might be more to life than just misery. The unknown becomes a source of fear and uncertainty as the singer wonders if they will be forever trapped in their current situation. The final lines express a desire for change, but the question of whether it is all just in their mind remains unanswered.
Overall, "Going Nowhere" is a heartfelt exploration of the struggles many people face in life. The lyrics evoke a strong emotional response and convey a sense of empathy for those who feel lost and stuck.
