Nothing to Give
Echoes of Emptiness: The Loneliest Drifter's Journey in 'Nothing to Give'
Lyrics
I'm the loneliest drifter that I've ever known
I feel like the most isolated wanderer I've ever known
Wherever I go I'm practically home
Everywhere I go, it feels like home to me
'Cause nobody cares where I've been
Nobody is concerned about where I've been
Or what these eyes have seen back then
People are indifferent to the experiences my eyes have witnessed
This broken sidewalk that I walk along
I traverse a damaged sidewalk that leads me to unfamiliar places
Can only take me somewhere that I don't belong
This path only takes me to places where I feel out of place
'Cause I don't think that I belong anywhere
I don't believe I fit in anywhere
And I think back on the way that I've been
I reflect on my past actions and choices
And I think back on the money that I've spent
I reflect on the money I've spent
And I think back on the life that I've lived
I reflect on the life I've led
Too bad when it's done I'll have nothing to give
Regrettably, when it's all over, I'll have nothing to offer
I'm the loneliest drifter that I've ever known
Similar to line 1, expressing intense loneliness
Wherever I go they say go on home
Wherever I go, people advise me to return home
And that's always easier said than done
It's easier said than done to go back home when the world rejects you
When the whole world wants you gone
The entire world wants me to disappear
So I watch these boots as they lead my way
I observe my boots guiding me forward
And I think back on my day to day
I reflect on my daily experiences
But I don't think that I want to recall anything
I don't want to remember anything
And it's all no vacancy signs
Everywhere there are signs indicating no vacancy
All the way up and past my prime
Obstacles are everywhere, and I'm past my prime
No use since I couldn't walk the line
There's no point since I couldn't follow the right path
So I guess I'll find myself alone another time
So, I anticipate being alone again
And I think back on the way that I've been
Reflecting again on my past actions and choices
And I think back on the money that I've spent
Reflecting on the money I've spent once more
And I think back on the life that I've lived
Reflecting on the life I've led once more
Too bad when it's done I'll have nothing to give
Unfortunately, at the end, I'll have nothing to give
And I think back on the way that I've been
Repetition of reflecting on past actions and choices
And I think back on the money that I've spent
Repetition of reflecting on the money spent
And I think back on the life that I've lived
Repetition of reflecting on the life led
Too bad when it's done I'll have nothing to give
Reiteration of the unfortunate outcome of having nothing to give in the end
