Going Nowhere
My Blobfish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Instead we decide, instead we decide, to waste our lovely moments of our lovely sharing
R:
I don’t care, I’m driving fast, I’m going no where
I should care about all what you said but I don’t, no I won’t fade away
Should forget about the past, I’m going no where
I’d better make so many greatest thinks but I don’t, no I won’t fade away
You ‘re smiling back at me, smiling back at me, but I don’t know why you’re smiling that way
Cause it’s not at you, oh no it’s not at you, my mind is flying away, it’s so much better!!

Pont:
I can do this better, I can do this later
I know who you are
But I’m not such clever, and I can feel it better, when it’s not allowed

In the song "Going Nowhere" by My Blobfish, the lyrics convey a sense of dissatisfaction and a desire for change in a relationship. The opening lines suggest that both parties have made a conscious decision to live harmoniously, but instead, they choose to waste their precious moments of togetherness. This could imply a lack of effort or investment in the relationship, leading to a feeling of being stuck in a stagnant situation.
The chorus reveals the singer's indifference and apathy towards their partner's words and concerns. They admit that they should care about what the other person is saying, but they don't and won't let it affect them. This highlights a sense of detachment and emotional distance, as if they are driving fast towards an undefined destination without any regard for the consequences or impact on their relationship.
The lyrics also mention the partner smiling back, but the singer admits that they are unsure why they are smiling. It becomes clear that the smile is not directed at the singer, as their mind is already flying away, suggesting a disengagement from the present moment. They find solace in the idea of escaping from their current reality, as it is described as "so much better."
The bridge or "Pont" alludes to a self-awareness within the singer, acknowledging their own limitations. They claim they could do things better and later, implying a desire for improvement but a lack of immediate action. Despite knowing who the partner truly is, they feel inadequate and struggle to fully understand and express themselves. It hints at a fear of vulnerability and an inability to fully connect with their partner.
Overall, "Going Nowhere" is a song that reflects a relationship characterized by complacency, detachment, and a longing for change. The lyrics evoke feelings of frustration and a sense of being stuck in a repetitive cycle, while also acknowledging the singer's personal limitations and struggles in fully investing in the relationship.
