Going Nowhere
Cut Copy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Help me now before it's too late.
Now what do I care?
'Cause we're going nowhere.
Going nowhere.
Going nowhere.
Going nowhere.
I can go there.
I can't think straight.
Help me now before it's too late.
Now what do I care?
'Cause we're going nowhere.
Going nowhere.
Going nowhere.
Going nowhere.
Help me!
Going nowhere.
Going nowhere.
Going nowhere.
I can go there.
I can go there.
I can go there.
The lyrics to Cut Copy's song Going Nowhere are filled with a sense of desperation, confusion and hopelessness. The repetition of the phrase "Going nowhere" emphasizes the feeling of being stuck in a place where there's no way forward and no way back. The words "I can't think straight" suggest that the singer is overwhelmed and unable to find a way out of the situation they're in. The line "Help me now before it's too late" implies that the singer is aware that time is running out and that they need assistance urgently.
The repetition of the line "Now what do I care?" adds a layer of nihilism to the song. It suggests that the singer has given up hope and has lost sight of what they care about. The repetition of the line "Going nowhere" is also significant in underscoring the futility of the singer's predicament. They're aware that they're stuck in a cycle of repetition, going over and over the same ground with no progress being made.
Overall, the lyrics to Going Nowhere paint a bleak picture of a character who is stuck in a negative mindset and unable to find a way out. The repetition of certain phrases and the urgent sense of desperation bring a sense of urgency to the song that amplifies its emotional impact.

Im currently in hospital, very sick, and I heard this massive tune rushing through my head.
The stories I could tell you about this band's massive influence , would leave many scratching their heads.
The people I have met through time , we love this power far greater than any Taylor Swift concert or track .
No disrespect baby.
Xxxx ❤️
Love you Cut copy. Timeless.
You played before bloc party, decades ago, and showed them what real programming, real talent, real energy, and took off.

About 16 years ago I was traveling solo through Europe when I found out about this festival in Budapest, I changed all my plans to go. It was pretty incredible, and sometimes strangely lonely, but seeing you was definitely one of the highlights. I've been reminiscing about some of the music from my youth during this lockdown and it's been fun to listen back to your songs with my kids. Thank you :)
@cesco7306

Why so little views?! This is a highly underrated track, I absolutely love it.
@clvrswine
This isn't the only instance of this video on YouTube, that's why. How you don't know that is the real question. Also, it's few views, not little views.

When I was a student of graphic design school, I saw this CD album in TOWER RECORD in Osaka. Soon I bought it and listened many many times. Thank you!
