Going Nowhere
The Endless Line Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel empty, I feel tired
Caught in a loop where my mind's expired
I feel nauseous, I feel broken
My tongue twists after every word spoken
My life is caving in and crashing down
Seems like I'll never win

When will I

Come back, Come back
To life?

It's like we're
Going nowhere fast
Even though it's all okay
Are we gonna last?
How long can we look away?
We set the sail with no land in sight
And now we're
Going nowhere fast
Tell me it'll be alright
Tell me it'll be alright
Tell me it'll be alright

I keep tossing, I keep turning
Can't ever sleep and my eyes are burning
My sickness is my weakness
Thoughts racing, making everything worthless
My life is caving in and crashing down
Seems like I'll never win

When will I
Come back, Come back
To life

It's like we're
Going nowhere fast
Even though it's all okay
Are we gonna last?
How long can we look away?
We set the sail with no land in sight
And now we're
Going nowhere fast
Tell me it'll be alright

Can't kill the voice inside
My head, My head
These thoughts forever remain
Can't kill the voice inside my head
My head, My head
These thoughts forever remain

Tell me, Tell me
Tell me it'll be alright
Tell me, Tell me
Tell me it'll be alright
Tell me, Tell me
That we will be just fine
Tell me, Tell me

When will I
Come back, Come back
To life

It's like we're
Going nowhere fast
Even though it's all okay
Are we gonna last?
How long can we look away?
We set the sail with no land in sight
And now we're

Going nowhere fast
Tell me it'll be alright

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Endless Line's song Going Nowhere Fast describe the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of negativity and hopelessness. The singer's mind is exhausted and they feel physically sick and broken. All their efforts seem to be leading nowhere, and there's a sense of despair in their voice.

Despite this feeling, there's still a hope for things to get better, for a way out of this never-ending cycle. The repeated refrain of "Tell me it'll be alright" suggests that the singer is looking for someone or something to give them hope and reassurance. They want to believe that they'll come back to life, that they'll break free from this situation.

The metaphor of setting sail without land in sight emphasizes the sense of being lost and directionless. The singer and anyone else with them are going nowhere fast, even though everything might seem fine on the surface. The song questions whether it's possible to keep looking away from their problems and still expect everything to be okay in the end.

Overall, this song is a reflection on the struggle to keep going, to keep fighting against the feeling that everything is pointless. It's a plea for hope and reassurance in a seemingly never-ending cycle of negativity.
