Going Nowhere
The Winners Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know how to begin
Open road is closin' in
We're gettin' far from where we been and where we're goin'
And where we goin' anyway?

Don't know how to explain
Open roads, expecting rain
We're gettin' far from where we came and where we're goin'
And where we goin' anyway?

Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going down
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Comin' down

We are goin' nowhere
Ain't goin' nowhere any day

Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Comin' down
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Coming down
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Comin' down
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Coming down

I'm coming down
I'm going nowhere
I'm coming down
I'm going nowhere
I'm coming down




I'm going nowhere
I'm coming down

Overall Meaning

The song "Going Nowhere" by The Winners is a classic representation of nihilistic and existential themes often found in 90s rock music. The track starts with a sense of confusion that the singer is unable to articulate as he is unsure of how to begin. The open road that was once an avenue for adventure is now closing in, and the characters are left feeling lost as they move further away from their starting point. The refrain "going nowhere" highlights the feeling of moving aimlessly forward, with no clear sense of direction or purpose.


As the lyrics progress, the sense of unrest intensifies. The open roads that they had once travelled with eager anticipation are now fraught with uncertainty as they are expecting rain, a metaphor for impending chaos. The chorus, "going nowhere, going down" reinforces the idea that they are on a downward spiral with no end in sight. It seems that they are moving further and further away from their goals without any true sense of where they are headed.


Overall, "Going Nowhere" is a song that speaks to the human condition; the feeling of aimlessness that we all experience at times in our lives. It is a powerful reminder that sometimes we need to step back and reassess our goals to truly understand where we are going, and to ensure that we are always moving forward with a clear sense of purpose.
