Lyrics & Translation

Discover the depth of IZ.M.B's "NOWHERE" and its accompanying album "Nowhere Town," a collection born from the introspection of lockdown. Through its alt-rock influences and cathartic lyricism, the song offers a powerful, vulnerable, yet resilient perspective, encouraging listeners to connect with their own emotions and find strength in their experiences.

[English] I don't know how far I've come
Time seems to have stopped, and I see a stranger in the mirror
I don't know who I am anymore. I tried to run, but I'm stuck in place.
All these memories I can't erase. Every step just fades away. Tell me, where do I go from here?
I'm going nowhere, on this endless road.
Tears just follow me, like a shadow.
Nowhere, lost in a forgotten dream.
I'm searching for myself, but I'm still lost—in the middle of nowhere.
Even when I'm surrounded by people, I feel alone.
The words I couldn't say make this cold night even deeper.
I scream, but no one hears me. I shine, but no one sees.
I'm fading into silence. Somebody, please set me free.
I'm going nowhere, on this endless road.
My shadow has been carried away by the wind.
Nowhere, on a night without dreams.
Even if you call out to me, I'm still lost—in the middle of nowhere.
I wonder… what's at the end of this road? (Just wanna be found…)
Or maybe I'm meant to be nowhere…

Key Grammar Structures

  • 어디쯤 왔는지 몰라

    ➔ Noun + 쯤 (approximate location/time)

    ➔ This expresses uncertainty about the current location or stage. '어디쯤' means 'around where' or 'how far along'.

  • 시간은 멈춘 것 같아

    ➔ Verb stem + -ㄴ/은/는 것 같다 (seems like, looks like)

    ➔ This is a common expression to convey a feeling or perception. '멈춘 것 같다' means 'it seems to have stopped'.

  • I don't know who I am anymore

    ➔ Adverb of time + anymore (in negative sentences)

    ➔ Used in negative statements to indicate that a situation has changed and is no longer true.

  • All these memories I can't erase

    ➔ Noun phrase with a relative clause (without 'that' or 'which')

    ➔ The relative pronoun 'that' or 'which' is omitted before 'I can't erase', making it a reduced relative clause.

  • Tell me, where do I go from here?

    ➔ Indirect question within a sentence

    ➔ The phrase 'where do I go from here' is an embedded question, forming an indirect question.

  • I'm going nowhere, 끝없는 길 위에

    ➔ Idiomatic expression 'going nowhere' (making no progress or getting anywhere)

    ➔ This is an idiom meaning that one is not making progress or achieving anything, a state of stagnation.

  • 나를 찾고 있어, but I'm still lost

    ➔ Juxtaposition of two contrasting clauses (Korean and English)

    ➔ This structure highlights the internal conflict by placing a Korean statement of seeking oneself next to an English statement of being lost.

  • 말하지 못한 마음들이 차가운 밤을 더 깊게 해

    ➔ Subject of a sentence being a plural noun phrase (emotions)

    ➔ '마음들' (hearts/minds) is the subject, and it performs the action of making the night deeper, demonstrating how unspoken emotions can intensify feelings of loneliness or despair.

  • I shine but no one sees

    ➔ Concessive clause (implicitly contrasting ideas)

    ➔ This structure uses 'but' to connect two contrasting ideas: the act of shining and the lack of recognition from others.

  • I'm fading into silence

    ➔ Verb + prepositional phrase indicating a state of change/transition

    ➔ 'Fading into silence' describes a gradual disappearance or becoming unnoticed, a process of losing presence.

  • Or maybe I'm meant to be nowhere…

    ➔ Modal verb 'meant to be' (indicating destiny or purpose)

    ➔ This phrase suggests a sense of predetermination or destiny, implying that the state of being nowhere is perhaps their intended path.
