Smith, Elliott - Going Nowhere Lyrics
He waved hello silent like a mime
We met, there's no changing my mind
I won't walk the stairs with you tonight
Going nowhere
The clock moved a quarter of a turn
She said you got a lot of things to learn
Going nowhere
Saw you move a certain way
Missed you a lot
Return to this abandoned place
Should a been forgot
Echoes drown the conversation out
Echoes that only seem to bring about
A silent expression
Going nowhere
The steps made a pattern
I'd never seen
I felt like a kid of six or seventeen
I was off in some empty day dream
Going nowhere
It's dead and gone matter of fact
Maybe for the best
Said some things you can't take back
Honestly i guess
The old records
Sitting on the floor
The ones i can't
Put on anymore
He walked over to her like before
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

ouvir essa musica enquanto jogo death stranding
Depress
Pretty melody
Meu mano Andre Costa safou-se de algo extremamente delicado, o que é certo, é que o senhor cá esta para ouvir este senhor mais uma vez<, abraço
I would like to have one percent of his talent
Elliott Smith you are great
Absolute genius
I FOUND SOMEONE WHO ALSI WATCHES DRAG RACE AND LIKE ELLIOTT SMITH I FEEL COMPLETE
ME TOO!
This song is beautiful and makes me cry 😢😢
this song is just perfect. It's so sad, so melancholic, but so sweet. It's that kind of sweet, nostalgic sadness that we like for some reason
It may have the best verse I’ve ever heard in a song. Shame the chorus isn’t of the same quality - it seems a bit phoned in by Elliott’s standards.
everytime I think i've heard the best of him, WHAM. Goddamnit elliott, would you just give me a little break?

He waved hello silent like a mime
There's no changing my mind
I won't walk the stairs with you tonight
Going nowhere
The clock moved a quarter of a turn
The time it took a cigarette to burn
She said you got a lot of things to learn
Going nowhere
Saw you move a certain way
Missed you a lot
Return to this abandoned place
Should a been forgot
Echoes drown the conversation out
Echoes that only seem to bring about
A silent expression
Things you may allow
Going nowhere
The steps made a pattern
I'd never seen
I felt like a kid of six or seventeen
I was off in some empty day dream
Going nowhere
It's dead and gone matter of fact
Maybe for the best
Said some things you can't take back
Honestly I guess
The old records
Sitting on the floor
The ones I can't
Put on anymore
He walked over to her like before
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere ...
Elliott doesn't probably help a lot to get over depression, but it does really make you start taking its hand and walking together. Maybe that's the way to go with this shit.
I feel human listening to this.
I was listening to this song when I found out my friend had died.
I'm sorry
Alexander no one cares
I am sorry too
Can anyone help me finding a guitar tab of this song or a guitar tutorial ? I found some tabs but are wrong
+Wehp Heil use your ears
http://sweetadeline.net/goingnowhere2.txt
sorry for the late reply. the official website has almost all tabs.
Elliott is my favourite musician ever. But, my god, if ever a song sounded like suicide it's this. Doesn't stop it being outstanding though.
Great :D♥♥♥♥♥!!
fantastic!
awesome
This is so beautiful, I don't suppose anyone has chords?
the loneliness of the soul and its appalling self-conscientiousness is horrible and over powering
dont suppress being sad it leads to depression
sadness does not lead to depression. not averting your eyes does.
@onemorebrando holy shit...dat wuz nice
thanks, Jon Reed.
+onemorebrando averting your eyes attaches you evermore to the troubling experience. Suppressing sadness does lead to depression. Once we are triggered and sadness is released, depression is no more.
Repressed anger leads to depression.
i know elliott isn't for everyone, but i can't imagine anyone being moved in the direction of unliking or whatever the e-terminology is for thumbs downing this song.
It's a mystery. He's the most genuine, honest, raw, heart felt and unpretentious songwriter i've ever heard. It might not be your style but how can you fault the guys passion and beauty?
I love you Elliott. And I miss you so fucking much
@***** Yes, allegedly killed him self. Look it up.
Lost ten years ago today. RIP
Echoes that only seem to bring about a silent expression, easily read aloud...i was off in some nifty daydream,going nowhere
Jaye Eros empty daydream
happy early birthday Elliott 3 we miss you always
beatles ?
The best thing since the beatles.
Elliott smith best songwriter
I'm crying.
likewise man, my brother lent me 'XO' when i was about 13/14, and i'll admit - i wasn't totally into it initially but when i did get into it properly it changed how i looked at everything musically. i started tuning my guitar like elliott and i learnt a fuck load of his songs haha. yeah man, i think i might have seen that too - he was a really interesting guy, i love seeing interviews with him and live footage. and i doubt there ever will be, nobody can touch his lyrics or songwriting!
Same here! Elliott completely changed the way I heard, played, and wrote music. I always remember an interview of his where he talked about how he writes music. He said that he's fascinated with chords. He loves to play chords and see what different notes he could play within them. That always stuck with me. That, and when he said that he writes music for himself. He writes what sounds good to him, and if other people also like it then awesome. haha There's never been another like him.
totally agree man, good to have 'met' somebody with the same views! haha. he's my absolute hero, influenced my music to such an extent you can always hear a little of him in all my stuff haha.
I had the exact same thing happen to me. I had a solid 2-3 years where I literally listened to just about nothing but Elliott. I can listen to his entire catalog (bootlegs and all) and never skip a track. One of (if not THE) best songwriter of all time.
it happened to me as well, i got all his albums and had big phases with all of them. it's impossible to pick a favourite album or track they're all perfect. still amazes me how even all his unreleased stuff is better than a lot of artist's official back catalogue haha
@sonne monde same thing here. And this music never gets old. It's strange.
As real as it gets. Great song.
Everybody with a soul is in love with Elliott Smith :)
Wish this cat would've stuck around. He was special.
