Going Nowhere
Wynardtage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything is fading away...

Everything for illusions,
living like a doll
everything in vain,
what a sad life after all
I don't have the power to break free
losing my life and my dignity
this is going nowhere
this is wasted time
I'm a prisoner
but I don't know
what's my crime





Day after day is fading away
every hour is dissolving

Overall Meaning

The above lyrics to Wynardtage's song Going Nowhere speaks of the deteriorating state of one's life, characterized by a lethargic existence that leads to despair. The first line suggests that everything, the illusory nature of things, seems to be fading away. This is a metaphor for how the person is experiencing a collapse in their life that has no resolution in sight. The second line unpacks the metaphor of the first line by likening the person's life to that of a doll, a character with no agency. Here, the person feels powerless and their life is stagnant. The third line suggests futility, that everything in the person's life is in vain, and their life is hopeless. The fourth line sums it up by describing their life as sad.


The fifth line speaks to the despair and hopelessness of the situation in the person's life. They find that they don't have the power to break free from their cycle of despair. Six and Seven lines express that their life is in a downward spiral, and they are not only losing their dignity but their life. The final three lines describe the hopelessness of the situation, which is going nowhere, and the person is wasting their time. They feel like a prisoner, but they do not know their crime.
