Going Nowhere
The Brocks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I took it all upon my eager shoulder
That these long miles almost won
And it's okay
If you don't mean to love me all the way
'Cause now again I mean to run

Hold (?)
While the pain is sleeping
I'm (?) away
But my spirit was listening

I won't let you break my heart
I won't let you fall (?)
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
I want to her you say
We're going nowhere

I tell the (?) to every single finger
If you remind me where you have been
Then I would brave
The coldest (?) save so
A thousand fights, you never win

Give me with the (?)
With the demons held inside
Give me time to write the words to say
Give me time to write the words to say

I won't let you break my heart
I won't let you fall (?)
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
I want to her you say
We're going nowhere

We're going nowhere
We're going nowhere
Going nowhere
It's now i'm feeling
He-e-ey, he-e-ey

I won't let you break my heart
I won't let you fall (?)
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
I want to her you say
We're going nowhere

Going nowhere-where
Going nowhere




Going nowhere-where
Going nowhere

Overall Meaning

The Brocks's song Going Nowhere refers to a relationship that isn't going anywhere. The first lyrics "I took it all upon my eager shoulder, that these long miles almost won" suggests that the singer had put a lot of effort into keeping the relationship going but it still didn't work out. Despite this effort, the singer is okay with not being loved completely, perhaps suggesting that they are settling for less than they deserve. The line "now again I mean to run" implies that this is a cycle, that the singer has been here before and has decided to leave once again.


The chorus "I won't let you break my heart, I won't let you fall" is an act of self-preservation. The singer doesn't want to be hurt anymore and is trying to protect themselves from further pain. The line "we're going nowhere" is repeated throughout the song, as if to emphasize the stagnant nature of the relationship. The lines "give me time to write the words to say" suggests that the singer is struggling to communicate their feelings, perhaps due to fear of being vulnerable and getting hurt.


Overall, the song reflects the struggle and pain of a relationship that isn't going anywhere, with a sense of longing for something more but also with a fear of being hurt.
