Nowhere To Run
noredirect/Martha & The Vandellas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide.
It's not love, I'm a running from,
It's the heartbreak I know will come.
'Cause I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me.
Ev'rywhere I go, your face I see, ev'ry step I take, you take with me yeah
Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
I know you're not good for me, but free of you I'll never be, no.
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep.
I wake up feelin' sorry I met you, hoping soon that I'll forget you.
When I look in the mirror to comb my hair
I see your face just a smiling there.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from you baby,
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide.
I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me,
How can I fight a lover, that shouldn't be, when it's so deep,
So deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high I can't get over it
It's so wide I can't get around it, no
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from you baby
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try to
I know you're no good for me, but free of you I'll never be,
Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide, got nowhere to run to baby.
The lyrics of "Nowhere to Run" by Martha & The Vandellas speak of a woman who is trapped in a relationship that she cannot escape from. The opening line, "Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The woman knows that her partner is not good for her, but she feels powerless to leave. She is running from heartbreak that she knows is inevitable, but her love for her partner is too strong to resist. Everywhere she goes, she is haunted by their memories, and she cannot seem to escape the pain that the relationship causes her.
The second verse is particularly poignant, as the woman describes how her partner has invaded her dreams. Even in her sleep, she cannot escape him, and when she wakes up, she feels remorse for ever getting involved with him. She wishes desperately that she could forget him, but he has become a part of her. The bridge of the song further emphasizes the woman's powerlessness. She loves her partner so deeply that she cannot fight it, no matter how much she knows she should. Her love is all-encompassing and overwhelming, and she cannot find a way to break free from it. Overall, "Nowhere to Run" is a heartbreaking anthem for anyone who has ever been unable to leave a toxic relationship.
