Lyrics

No one is asking

No one is inquiring or seeking information

Everyone's taking

Everyone is seizing or taking advantage

No one is giving

No one is contributing or offering

Maybe you're faking

Possibly pretending or not being genuine


No one is asking

Reiteration of the lack of inquiry

Everyone's taking

Reiteration of the prevalence of seizing

No one is giving

Reiteration of the absence of giving

It's so disappointing

Expressing disappointment in the situation


Yeah, the world is big

Commenting on the vastness of the world

And nothing you do matters

Asserting that one's actions have no significance

You shake when you're nervous

Physical reaction to nervousness mentioned

But you should be flattered

Suggesting that nervousness should be taken as a compliment


Oh yeah, the world is big

Reiteration of the vastness of the world

And you could do better

Encouraging the idea that improvement is possible

You shake when you're nervous

Reiteration of shaking due to nervousness

But it doesn't matter

Asserting that nervousness doesn't have an impact


Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Repetition questioning the destination or purpose

Where you gonna go? No destination

Emphasizing the lack of a specific destination

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Repetition questioning the destination or purpose

Where you gonna go? No real destination

Emphasizing the lack of a real destination

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Repetition questioning the destination or purpose

Where you gonna go? No destination

Emphasizing the lack of a specific destination

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Repetition questioning the destination or purpose

Where you gonna go? No real destination

Emphasizing the lack of a real destination


No one is asking, everyone's taking

Reiteration of the lack of inquiry and prevalence of seizing

Gotta give it, gotta give it all

Stressing the importance of giving everything

No one is giving, maybe you're faking

Reiteration of the absence of giving and the possibility of faking

Fake, fake, fake, faking

Emphasis on the act of faking

No one is asking, everyone's taking

Reiteration of the lack of inquiry and prevalence of seizing

Gotta take it, gotta take it all

Stressing the importance of taking everything

No one is giving, maybe it's nothing

Reiteration of the absence of giving and the suggestion that it might be insignificant

No-no-no-no

Expressing a negative response or rejection


Talk until your words lose meaning

Encouraging continuous talking until words lose meaning

Talk until the words lose meaning

Reiteration of the encouragement to talk until words lose meaning

Talk until the words lose meaning

Repetition emphasizing talking until words lose meaning

Talk until your words lose meaning

Encouraging the continuous talking until words become meaningless
