Lyrics

Now there is nothing that I want

Expressing a lack of desire or needs.

I spend my whole time in my thoughts

Being preoccupied with internal contemplation.

Hoping to find my brother's love

Seeking the affection or care similar to that of one's brother.

Why did it leave us for above

Questioning why a form of love departed, potentially due to passing away.


Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo

Repetitive musical interlude without explicit lyrical meaning.


Hoping to find

Yearning to recover something lost or forgotten within one's thoughts.

What's lost in my mind

Referencing the lost aspects within one's consciousness.

Lost in my mind

Reiteration of being lost within one's own thoughts.


Dreaming my way through this house of yours (now there is nothing)

Escaping reality by dreaming inside someone else's home.

I picture you standing by the door

Imagining someone in a particular place, possibly reminiscing.

Hoping to find your father's smile (hoping to find)

Hoping to rediscover a lost smile, potentially of a deceased individual.

Gone from the world but not from mine

Suggesting the person may have passed away but remains in memory.


When you were young

Reflecting on someone's past behavior when they were younger.

You'd wake before night was done

Recalling an earlier habit of waking up early.

Now surely you belong

Implying a sense of belonging in a different time or context.

My name was on your tongue

Being remembered or addressed by someone important.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, my nothing

An exclamation reflecting a state of nothingness or emptiness.


Thinking of all that we used to share

Reflecting on past shared experiences and memories.

I saw herself just standing there

Recalling a vivid image of a person in memory.

A memory refracting inside a glow

A memory resurfacing or influencing current thoughts.


When you were young

Reiteration of a past behavior of waking up early.

You'd wake before night was done

Similar to line 18, reminiscing about past habits.

Now surely you belong

Implying a sense of fitting in or being meant for a certain context.

My name was on your tongue

Being remembered or called upon by someone important.


Now there is nothing that I want (now there's nothing)

Reiteration of the lack of desires or wants.

I spend my whole time in my thoughts

Continuing the theme of being consumed by internal thoughts.


Hoping to find

Expressing hope or desire to recover something lost.
