I have just listened to a song
and in the lyrics
i heard a sentence called " The love we shared seems to go nowhere"
So is that means "gone" ?

Were you listening to "Tainted Love"? That's one of my favourite songs!!

It doesn't mean gone. If something "goes nowhere" it means that it doesn't achieve any kind of result. It may continue, but it doesn't really have a point or a conclusion. Nothing really happens.

I started writing a book ten years ago but it's really going nowhere. (This means I've started it and may have written quite a lot, but it has no end in sight, it is just rambling along.)
 
Who on earth is Gloria Jones?! Soft Cell every time for me - but then I am a child of the 80s!

Gloria Jones had the original hit with "Tainted Love." She also happened to be driving the car that smashed into a tree and killed her lover, Marc Bolan, one of the icons of glitter ("glam" in the UK) rock.

Well, I never knew that! I'm storing that little gem away in the pub quiz corner of my brain. :-D
