Going Nowhere Fast Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was going nowhere, stuck in this place
No one's really moving, I can't stand the pace
I look to the left of me, I look to the right
There's nothing here around me, no exit in sight

[Chorus]
I was going nowhere, nowhere fast
Someones got to help me, I'm going nowhere fast

[Verse 2]
Chaos on the highway, I'm in a parking lot
I can't see the problem, I sit here and rot
They're blocked to the front of me, they're blocked to the rear
I've got a hundred things to do instead of sitting right here

[Chorus]
I was going nowhere, nowhere fast
Someones got to help me, I'm going nowhere fast
I'm going nowhere fast

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
No signal on the mobile, I talk to myself
I think I'm going crazy, I gotta get some help
I look to the left of me, I look to the right
There's nothing here around me, no exit in sight

[Chorus]
I'm going nowhere, nowhere fast
Someones got to help me, I'm going nowhere fast
I was going nowhere, nowhere fast
Someones got to help me, I'm getting nowhere fast
I'm going nowhere fast

[Verse 1]
I was going nowhere, stuck in this place
No one's really moving, I can't stand the pace
I look to the left of me, I look to the right
There's nothing here around me, no exit in sight

[Chorus]
I was going nowhere, nowhere fast
Someones got to help me, I'm going nowhere fast

[Chorus]
I was going nowhere, nowhere fast
Someones got to help me, I'm going nowhere fast
I'm going nowhere fast

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
No signal on the mobile, I talk to myself
I think I'm going crazy, I gotta get some help
I look to the left of me, I look to the right
There's nothing here around me, no exit in sight

[Chorus]
I'm going nowhere, nowhere fast
Someones got to help me, I'm going nowhere fast
I was going nowhere, nowhere fast
Someones got to help me, I'm getting nowhere fast
I'm going nowhere fast

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

In essence, this song captures the universal experience of feeling stuck in a rut and the yearning for liberation from a situation of inertia. They describe the common feeling of being surrounded by immobility and chaos, unable to find a way out. This is explained with the imagery of being stuck in a parking lot amidst the chaos on the highway symbolizing the feeling of being trapped in a bustling and unproductive environment. The character repeatedly looking to the left and right highlights one's attempts to find a way out but ultimately feeling trapped with "no exit in sight."
