Nowhere But Up
At 143 BPM in E minor, “Nowhere But Up” hits hard from the first bar and doesn’t let up, with harmonized guitars stacked into a wall of sound that earns every bit of its triumphant tone. The hook is blunt in the best way: Rose repeats the title like a mantra, and by the third chorus it feels less like a lyric than a commitment. The line “let the fear fall into the dark” is the emotional hinge the verses build toward, and the production, punchy drums up front and melodic guitar solos cutting through the density, gives it the lift it needs. Fans of early arena-era Whitesnake or the more propulsive side of Collective Soul will find something familiar and satisfying here.
Lyrics
Look at the sunset in the west The moon is still moving through the evening sky Illuminating The answer is right before our eyes You get what you need not what you want Captivating
The answers are there Look and you’ll find your way
Nowhere but up Nowhere but up Nowhere but up Nowhere but up
And now the sun begins to rise The stars are calling to your destiny No evading Let the fear fall into the dark As now the sun reclaims its place again No denying
The answers are there Look and you’ll find your way
Nowhere but up Nowhere but up Nowhere but up Nowhere but up
The answers are there Look and you’ll find your way
Nowhere but up Nowhere but up Nowhere but up Nowhere but up
