Going Nowhere
DJ Dean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting by the telephone
Something isn′t right
Staring into nowhere
Blinded by the light
I don't know what you′re thinking
I don't know what to do
But I will be waiting right here for year
I'm going nowhere every night
I′ll wait for you to make it right
I′m going crazy deep inside
I need your love, I need it tonight
I'm going nowhere every night
I′m waiting by the candlelight
I hear a voice from deep inside
I hear it's you, I feel it′s right
Sitting by the telephone
Something isn't right
Staring into nowhere
Blinded by the light
I don′t know what you're thinking
I don't know what to do
But I will be waiting right here for year
I′m going nowhere every night
I′ll wait for you to make it right
I'm going crazy deep inside
I need your love, I need it tonight
I′m going nowhere every night
I'm waiting by the candlelight




I hear a voice from deep inside
I hear it′s you, I feel it's right

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to DJ Dean's song "Going Nowhere" are infused with raw emotion describing a prolonged state of waiting for somebody to make things right. At the beginning of the song, the singer is sitting by the phone, possibly waiting for a call, but has an uneasy feeling that something is not right. As he stares into nothingness, he is consumed by a bright light that possibly signifies the pain or uncertainty he is feeling. The singer is confused about what the other person is thinking or what to do, but remains in a state of waiting - every night. He needs the other person's love and wants to share his feelings, but he feels as if he is going crazy deep inside, indicating frustration or loneliness.


The chorus establishes the narrative's core and encapsulates the singer's desolation. He is going nowhere every night, simply waiting for the other person to make things right. He is losing his sanity and needs the other person's love on that specific night, indicating that waiting any longer is not an option. Waiting by the candlelight points to the possibility that the other person will come back or that the singer is ready to light the way back to their relationship. The voice he hears from deep inside the chorus, coupled with his intuition, tells him that he recognizes the other person and that she's right for him.
