Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walked yourself right out the door,
Said if I see you again it will be too soon,
But I've got something to say to you,
Well I'm okay with the fact that we're through,now
Ain't it funny how love makes the world go blind,
Before you realize your heart is breaking,
By that time well I'll be gone,
Standin' in the driveway waivin',
There's a breath of freedom I've been cravin',
Maybe this time was the last,
You're goin' nowhere fast
Now I wont miss the late night crying,
Your accusations my denying,
If you don't trust me just say you don't,
'Cause you say you hate me, you say I'm leavin',
I'm so tired of this not believin',
That I love you is only words,
And I don't know how far you'll make it,
Before you realize your heart is breaking, by that time well I'll be gone,
Standin' in the driveway waivin',
There's a breath of freedom I've been cravin',
Maybe this time was the last,
Oh you're goin' nowhere fast
And I take half the blame for this,
But its not you I'm gonna miss,
And I don't know how far you'll make it,
Before you realize your heart is breaking,
By that time well I'll be gone,
Standin' in the driveway waivin',
There's a breath of freedom I've been cravin',
Maybe this time was the last,
You're goin' nowhere fast
The Casey Donahew Band's "Nowhere Fast" is a breakup song that describes the pain and frustration of a failed relationship. The song starts with the singer recounting how the person they were seeing walked out of their life, claiming that they never want to see them again. The singer accepts the fact that the relationship is over, even though it hurts. They reflect on how love can make people blind, but eventually, they will see that their heart is breaking. The singer reminds their former partner that they will be moving on and leaving behind the hurt.
Throughout the song, the singer shows a sense of strength and resilience as they come to terms with the breakup. They are tired of being accused of wrongdoing and of not being trusted. They accept that the breakup is partly their fault and that they will not miss their former partner. The song concludes with the singer standing in the driveway waving goodbye, looking forward to the freedom that comes with moving on.
The message of the song is clear - sometimes relationships don't work out, and people need to accept that and move on. It's a reminder that people deserve to be happy and sometimes it's best to leave a painful situation behind.
Line by Line Meaning
Well you left last night, to the beat on the floor,
You left me dancing alone to the rhythm of the music.
Walked yourself right out the door,
You didn't even bother to say goodbye.
Said if I see you again it will be too soon,
You made it clear that you don't want to be with me anymore.
But I've got something to say to you,
I want to express my feelings before you go.
Well I'm okay with the fact that we're through,now
I have accepted that our relationship has ended.
Ain't it funny how love makes the world go blind,
Love can make us overlook the flaws in a relationship.
And I don't know how far you'll make it,
I don't know how long it will take for you to realize your mistake.
Before you realize your heart is breaking,
Before you realize that you still have feelings for me.
By that time well I'll be gone,
By the time you come back, I will have moved on.
Standin' in the driveway waivin',
I will leave you behind and start afresh.
There's a breath of freedom I've been cravin',
I have been longing for the freedom from this toxic relationship.
Maybe this time was the last,
This might be the final goodbye.
You're goin' nowhere fast
You are not going to progress in life with your narrow-minded beliefs.
Now I wont miss the late night crying,
I won't miss the emotional torture of those sleepless nights.
Your accusations my denying,
Your baseless accusations and my futile attempts at justifying my actions.
If you don't trust me just say you don't,
If you don't have faith in me, then there's no point in holding on to this relationship.
'Cause you say you hate me, you say I'm leavin',
You keep making wild assumptions and projecting your insecurities on me.
I'm so tired of this not believin',
I'm exhausted of trying to convince you of my love for you.
That I love you is only words,
My words seem to fall on deaf ears, and it seems like my love for you is never enough.
And I take half the blame for this,
I know I'm partially responsible for the end of our relationship.
But its not you I'm gonna miss,
But I won't miss the toxic relationship we had.
Oh you're goin' nowhere fast
You are only hindering your growth with your negative mindset.
