No Way Out
Disney - Brother Bear Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kenay: Det er litt om et menneske, og litt om en bjørn.
Men mest er det om et monster. Et monster som gjorde noe så fælt.

Jeg har såret mange på min vei.
Det er lite jeg kan si slik at de tilgi meg.
Jeg gjør hva som helst jeg gir opp alt,
ja, alt som er i min makt.
Men den sti jeg gikk er borte for meg nå.

Kjære bror, jeg sviktet deg.
Du støttet meg, du trodde meg, men jeg sviktet deg.
Av alle ting jeg gjemmer vekk, går skammen aldri bort.
Og jeg ber om at et under skjer, og frir meg fra det vonde.

Vis veien ut, hvis veien fins. jeg ser den ikke.

For livet er forbi, det er for tungt å møte deg.
Uten håp når du er lei.

Overall Meaning

The song "No Way Out" from Disney's Brother Bear is a reflective and remorseful ballad sung by the character Kenai. In the first paragraph, Kenai explains that the song is about both a human and a bear but primarily focuses on a monster, symbolizing the terrible actions that were committed.

In the second paragraph, Kenai confesses to having hurt many people along his journey, and he feels helpless in finding the right words to make them forgive him. He expresses his willingness to do anything and give up everything in his power to make amends, but he realizes that the path he had previously taken is now lost to him.

The third paragraph is a heartfelt apology to his brother. Kenai acknowledges that his brother had supported and believed in him, but he ultimately let him down. The shame he carries cannot be hidden away, and he fervently hopes for a miracle to release him from this burden.

In the final paragraph, Kenai pleads for guidance and a way out of his turmoil. He admits that he cannot see the path to redemption and that life feels overwhelming, especially without hope when his brother is disappointed in him. The lyrics convey the weight of Kenai's remorse, his longing to make things right, and his desperate desire for a solution that seems impossible to find.

The characters talking as though the tale were modern, what's wrong with that exactly? Koda being annoying, that's subjective. I found him to be more endearing than annoying. I really don't see how you found him to be so annoying where it reached the level of insufferable. Sure he was really talkative at the start, but that was part of his charm imo.

And the liar revealed cliche, considering I was 9 when i saw this, I didn't know the bear kenai killed was koda's mother, until the reveal, so the liar revealed plot isn't exactly a negative imo. and even if you found out before the reveal, what is so wrong about that?

and i see a lot of criticism saying the middle fell flat. debatable. it's not perfect but I can't think of much I'd change.

I mean it doesn't need to be a grandiose, epic adventure, like other disney movies, because brother bear works as a more subtle character driven movie.

and to be fair, when i re-watch lion king, the argument can be made that the middle in that movie is flat. and when i think of which middle i like more, I'd go with brother bear, over the lion king. so what would you change exactly, why do you feel it fell flat? I'm curious.

Here was the original script

"You know that story you told me last night?"
-"Yeah"
"Well I have a story to tell you"
-"really? Whats it about?"
"Well, its kind of about a man and kind of about a bear but mostly it's about a monster, a monster that did something so bad the spirits came down. There was all this wind and lights, and they pulled him up way, way into the sky and when he came down again he'd been changed into a bear.

-"whoa"

"Yeah, only he didnt know anything about being a bear, how to walk, how to drink, how to fish..."

-"just like you (giggles)"

"Yeah. But lucky for him he met this little bear that showed him how to do all thoes things and well a lot more, a bear he'd do anything for, a bear like um, a..."

-"a brother"

"Koda I did something very wrong"

-"what did you do Kenai?"

"I... I killed a bear"

-"I don't like this story"

"Koda your mother isn't coming"

But in the Alternate Version, you hear Kenai tell the story aloud But I think the final version they went with works better, leaving it up to your imagination what he's telling Koda.
But by only hearing him say "Your mother's not coming". That's all you (and Koda) really need to hear to know what happened and for the gut punch :(

I saw the original version of this where the story is heard rather than a song being heard over it. A lot of people say they wish they heard the story over the song. Personally, I like this version better because we know the story, we already know what happened. The emphasis is supposed to be on Koda’s reaction which is definitely heard and seen. The music and soundtracks are always more powerful than the words spoken. That’s why the directors and people who make the movies put them in there. The music is supposed to make you feel and react. Considering the Brother Bear movies are the only movies to make me cry to this day, I’d say they’ve done their job well

Disney certainly isn't afraid to lean on the "Dead Parent(s)" trope, but killing a mom and older brother in the first act, then sticking the kid and his mom's killer together the rest of the movie?

It's one of those songs that not only just strikes a nerve in you, but literally TWISTS that nerve till you're in emotional pain. It's one of those songs that connect so incredibly well with your deepest heart and soul and with your current life circumstances. I for one can certainly say it relates to my circumstances at the moment and that's why I started to cry. Beautiful tear-jerker of a song!

Koda is such a good person. (Bear) he forgave and still loves the human who killed his mother. And in the second movie, he’s willing to give kenai up so that kenai can live with Nita as a human. How could anyone hate Koda? And he’s only a cub?? Saddest freaking thing ever

@michaelmyers7255

4y↑32

But let’s be honest, the bear is sorta a reason why Sitka died. Although he was trying to save his brothers so he knew he might die when the ice berg fell. Kenai wanted revenge because of his brother. You can’t blame him for blaming the bear. He was in pain and angry his brother died. There are two sides to this story, if anything one can argue they both were in the wrong, the bear for stealing fish( yes I know she’s is just a bear and doing what her Instincts tell her to do, but then again her instincts should have told her there are people nearby and it’s people territory, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. Kenai is not a monster and the bear is not a monster. Yes there are people who kill for no reason, those are monsters. Kenai had a justifiable reason to go after Koda’s mother. She was being greedy when she could have gone to the salmon run and she also was in their territory. What happened to bear instincts? And staying away from the two leggeds? On the other note, kenai should have tied up the fish properly, especially since he knew the bears could come and steal it. You can’t blame anyone really. The ceremony had started and he didn’t want to be late. There are so many gray areas. So many should have and could haves. I conclude that they both just were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

@michaelmyers7255

4y↑14

Pepperpawz well that’s your point of view. I suppose no one is right or wrong in that argument. It’s how you choose to look at it. Why did Koda’s Mother have to go in human territory? She could have gone to the salmon run keeping them out of danger but of course if that was the case it wouldn’t be a movie. OR, Kenai could have tied up the fish. Even if he did, that would not stop an animal from sniffing it out and destroying the setup. She would have torn it down herself. So are the humans to blame then? Or the bear? because if that fish was never discovered by a bear, Sitka would have been Alive. There are so many scenarios and ways to view it. If anything the animal should have not been treading in another animals territory. In the animal kingdom there are consequences when going in another animals territory. Period. I don’t care how civilized humans think they are, we are animals and are definitely not at the top of the food chain. I’m not arguing with you and telling you that you’re wrong, but I do believe there is no wrong or right way. This situation could have been prevented, or maybe not.

@stephenberry974

@Ariel Summer the bear was trying to feed her cub. Without the fish and the bear, koda had a chance of dying from starvation. Nobody is to blame. The bear wanted to keep her cub alive. Sitka wanted to keep his brothers alive. Maybe kenai wanted revenge to keep Denahi alive. After that though Denahi was wrong. Going after the bear for revenge. He knew this was wrong and he wanted to follow his totem of being wise yet he didn’t. There was nothing wrong at all at the start with the bear and the brothers. Only up to later events did things become wrong

This scene hurts a lot. Just imagine it, your own friend, the person who saved your life from a Hunter, played around with, and called you a brother turns out to be the very person who killed your mother. This movie plays around with your feelings

I lost my dad 4 years ago when I was 16 due to a hiking accident, this scene makes me absolutely bawl my eyes out because when kenai says your mothers not coming home is the exact same thing my mom told me when she got home from the hospital and shared the news with everyone. I miss him so much

I love the part with Kenai swiping the bear print away it's a great way of saying that he hates what he did, hates that he destroyed a child life just because of his ignorance and thinking only about himself and not caring at all about the consequences of his actions,but what this scene shows the most of all is that Kenai hates what he has become. And the Fact that he fixes this by becoming Koda's brother and caretaker shows how much Kenai grows as a person. Brother Bear is hands down one of the best Disney films of all time.

This is one of the most emotional and saddest scenes I have ever seen. This left me a great impact in my heart and made me cry so much. And the song itself must be saddest and most dramatic of all the Disney movies. I can’t believe people simply forgot about this and Disney just let it die in darkness. But it will still live through are memories forever and ever.

Even though the fact that they played a song over this scene was an incredibly stupid decision, I have admit, the animation on Kodas face when he realizes his moms dead is incredible. The perfect mixture of confusion, putting two and two together,realization, shock, and heartbreak.

I've seen the original scene without the music and i'd say both are powerful in different ways. One doesn't "beat" the other in terms of quality unless you hate Phil Collins music. If you do then I say you have no soul jokingly of course.

I mean, plenty of people including myself never cry at movies, the fact that it's fictional is always in the front of our minds even though we grasp the emotions of the characters and appreciate the artful storytelling. But it's entirely valid that some folk are more sensitive to this kind of thing and full-on cry at the sad scenes, perhaps even because it reminds them of things that happened in real life. People who actively, seriously make fun of other adults for crying over movies definitely don't have a heart though.

If only Koda knew at the time, in the coming months someone else would join his family (that being Nita when she became a bear as well and married Kenai, thus giving Koda a sister in law).
