The Nothing
A Life Unveiled: The Eccentric Tale from 'The Nothing' Lyrics
Lyrics
There was a guy who had no head
There was an individual without a head.
He had no teeth he had no tongue
He lacked teeth and a tongue.
He had no body nad no feet
He had no body and no feet.
He was born in a no man's land
He was born in a no man's land, suggesting a place of isolation or emptiness.
He had no legs he had no hands
He had no legs and no hands.
You'll say he's really sick
Observers might think he is seriously unwell.
He had no ass he had no dick
He lacked buttocks and genitals.
Do you wanna make a bet
Challenging others to bet on the truth of the situation.
I swear it's all true
An assertion that the described conditions are factual.
He was as real as I see you
Emphasizing the reality of the person despite their unusual characteristics.
The weirdest guy I ever met.
Describing the person as the weirdest the narrator has ever encountered.
I said your life must be a bore
The narrator expresses sympathy, suggesting that life for this person must be dull.
He said:"I can't take it no more"
The person responds that they can't endure their life any longer.
He had no arms he had no hair
Listing additional missing body parts: arms and hair.
Sometimes life really ain't fair
Reflecting on the unfairness of life.
Do you wanna make a bet
Repetition of the challenge to make a bet on the truth.
I swear it's all true
Reiteration that the narrative is truthful.
He was as real as I see you
Reaffirming the reality of the person, comparing them to the observer.
The weirdest guy I ever met.
Restating the person as the weirdest the narrator has ever met.
There's nothing else to add
Declaring that there is nothing more to include.
Except he wasn't that bad
Adding that the person wasn't as bad as one might assume.
It's taken way too long
Commenting on the prolonged duration it took to write the song without understanding why.
I don't know why we wrote this song
Expressing uncertainty about the purpose of writing the song.
