Nothing Happening
Embracing Tomorrow: Unraveling Illusions and Confusion in Ben Kweller's 'Nothing Happening'
Lyrics
Like sun though the night
Similar to the sun shining through the darkness of night, striving for accuracy or correctness
Just to get it right
Attempting to achieve something perfectly
A battle ground at my feet
A situation filled with conflict or struggle at my immediate vicinity
An unwinable fight
A fight that cannot be won
The words we say won't matter anyhow
The words spoken won't have significance in any case
Let's focus on tomorrow
Suggesting a focus on the future rather than the present moment
Instead of right now
Advocating for concentrating on the future instead of the present
Nothing happening
There's no significant activity or progress
It's all illusion
Everything happening is perceived as not real
It's all illusion
The current state of events is perceived as unreal or deceptive
Nothing happening
No significant events are occurring
It's all confusion
There is widespread uncertainty or lack of clarity
It's all confusion
The confusion is pervasive
All around this room tonight
In this space tonight
Now there's nothing we can do
Currently, there's nothing that can be done
To make each other feel alright
No actions can ease each other's discomfort or pain
Instead of trying to tell me how to be
Instead of giving advice on how to act, focus on the future
Just focus on tomorrow instead of on me
Emphasizing the importance of looking ahead rather than focusing on oneself
Nothing happening
No significant events are occurring
It's all illusion
Everything happening is perceived as not real
It's all confusion
There is widespread uncertainty or lack of clarity
If we want to keep this love we found
To maintain this love, concentrate on the future
We've got to focus on tomorrow
Focus on the future instead of the present moment to sustain this love
Instead of right now
Advocating for focusing on the future rather than the present
Nothing happening
No significant events are occurring
It's all illusion
Everything happening is perceived as not real
It's all illusion
The current state of events is perceived as unreal or deceptive
Nothing happening
No significant events are occurring
It's all confusion
There is widespread uncertainty or lack of clarity
It's all confusion
The confusion is pervasive
It's all confusion
-Nothing is happening
No significant events are occurring
It's all illusion
Everything happening is perceived as not real
It's all illusion
The current state of events is perceived as unreal or deceptive
Nothing is happening
No significant events are occurring
It's all confusion
There is widespread uncertainty or lack of clarity
It's all confusion
The confusion is pervasive
It's all confusion
-It's all confusion
-It's all confusion
-It's all confusion
