Nothing Really Matters
Echoes of Emotion: Nothing Really Matters by American Sigh
Lyrics
You're the first and last thing that I think about
You are the first and last thought on my mind.
Like my keys when I'm leaving the house
Your significance is akin to my keys when leaving home, essential and not to be forgotten.
Leaving out the part where my face meets the ground
Omitting the painful details, perhaps a reference to avoiding or neglecting personal struggles.
There's a feeling I'm feeling and it's all around
An overwhelming feeling surrounds me.
I've got a feeling about it
A strong intuition or premonition.
If you are not around here
If you are absent, a sense of emptiness prevails.
Nothing really matters
Nothing has significant importance when you are not present.
Nothing really matters
Reiteration of the idea that without you, nothing holds substantial meaning.
I can't breathe I've lost the need
A metaphorical expression of feeling suffocated, possibly by the intensity of emotions.
For anything but you and me
The sole desire and necessity are the connection between "you and me."
Kissing with lips like magnetic
Describing intimate moments with a magnetic quality in the kiss.
There's an air of excitement when we pull in
Excitement in the air during moments of closeness.
I've got a feeling about it
Reiteration of a strong intuitive feeling.
If you are not around here
The absence of the person leads to a sense of insignificance or emptiness.
Nothing really matters
Without the person, nothing of consequence matters.
Nothing really matters
Emphasizing the idea that true importance is only found in the presence of the person.
Hoping that the weather stays the same
Expressing a desire for stability and constancy in the relationship.
Push the moon away and the tides won't change
Attempting to control or maintain a situation despite external challenges.
Must be an ocean somewhere that never drains
Suggesting the existence of an endless, unchanging love or connection.
All I'm asking from you is time to waste
Asking for dedicated time from the person, emphasizing its value.
I've got a feeling about it
A recurring strong sense of intuition or premonition.
If you are not around here
The absence of the person amplifies the feeling of nothingness or insignificance.
Nothing really matters
Reiteration that without the person, nothing holds substantial importance.
Nothing really matters
Affirming the overarching theme that true meaning is found only in the presence of the person.
