Going Nowhere
Jason & The Scorchers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got nowhere to go
I'm just drifting by
And I'm waiting to die
How lonely
The sad life, without Christ
Let me know
Cause it's lonely
The sad life, without Christ
I'm still standing strong
But this won't last for long
I need something more
So please hold the door
Cause it's lonely
The sad life, without Christ
Let me know
Where I need to go
Yea it's lonely
The sad life, without Christ
I'm going nowhere
I'm filled with despair
I'm lost in this maze
Jesus light the way
Cause it's lonely
The sad life, without Christ
Let me know
Where I need to go
Cause it's lonely
The sad life, without Christ
Let me know
Where I need to go
Cause it's lonely
The sad life, without
Christ.

I'm walking alone
I feel isolated and am on my own
I got nowhere to go
I am lost and do not have a purpose
I'm just drifting by
I am aimlessly wandering without direction or meaning
And I'm waiting to die
I see no purpose in life and am ready for it to end
I'm still standing strong
I am putting up a front and appear strong, but inside I am struggling
But this won't last for long
My strength is fleeting and will not continue indefinitely
I need something more
There is an emptiness inside of me that I need to fill
So please hold the door
I am asking for help to find the way forward
I'm going nowhere
I am stagnant and am not progressing in life
I'm filled with despair
I am overcome with hopelessness and a lack of purpose
I'm lost in this maze
I am confused and do not know how to navigate life
Jesus light the way
I am seeking guidance and direction from Jesus
Yea it's lonely
I feel isolated and disconnected
The sad life, without Christ
Life without faith and a sense of purpose is bleak and joyless
Let me know
I am asking for guidance and support
Where I need to go
I am seeking direction and purpose in life
Cause it's lonely
I feel isolated and disconnected
