Nobody Cares
Unseen Sorrow: Echoes of Loneliness in Baby Washington's 'Nobody Cares'
Lyrics
Nobody knows (nobody knows)
Nobody is aware of my struggles and challenges
Nobody cares (nobody cares)
There is a lack of concern or empathy from others
When the tears fall from my eyes
Expressing sadness and emotional pain through tears
Do you think anyone would stop
Questioning whether anyone would take notice or care
And ask me the reason why
Wondering if someone would inquire about the reason behind the tears
No, because nobody
Asserting that, indeed, nobody cares
Nobody cares about me
Emphasizing the theme of neglect and lack of concern
Nobody knows (nobody knows)
Reiteration of the feeling of being unknown or unnoticed
Nobody cares (nobody cares)
Reiteration of the lack of caring or attention from others
When I am sitting all alone
Describing the solitude when alone
Do you think anyone would
Raising the question of whether anyone would reach out
Call me on the telephone
Contemplating if someone would call to provide comfort
No, because nobody
Stating that nobody is there to care
Nobody cares about me
Reaffirming the lack of concern or attention
Yes, I used to have many lovers
Reflecting on the past when there were more romantic connections
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah
A nostalgic acknowledgment of past experiences
They have gone and
Indicating that those lovers have moved on to others
Found themselves others
Highlighting a sense of abandonment
Now I'm alone
Expressing the current state of being alone
Just as lonely as can be
Emphasizing the deep loneliness experienced
Nobody knows (nobody knows)
Reiteration of the emotional pain hidden from others
Nobody cares (nobody cares)
Reiteration of the lack of caring or attention from others
When the tears fall from my eyes
Repeating the expression of sadness through tears
Do you think anyone would stop
Posing the question of whether anyone would inquire about the reason for tears
And ask me the reason why
Asking if someone would take the initiative to understand the emotional pain
No, because nobody
Affirming that indeed, nobody cares about the individual
Nobody cares about me
Reiterating the prevailing theme of neglect and lack of empathy
