Lyrics
Nothing
Introduction to the theme of "Nothing."
And nothing's where you're at
Being in a state of nothingness.
When you ain't got something
Nothing is the result when you lack something.
You'll never get it back
Once something is lost, it's irrecoverable.
It's coming on like a drug
The experience is intense, comparable to a drug.
The universal power of one
Highlighting the impactful force of unity.
But it don't mean nothing
Despite the power of unity, it may not matter if everything falls apart.
If it all comes undone
The value is lost if it unravels.
Fly away
A call to escape or take risks, acknowledging the uncertainty of life.
If you fly away
-You might die today
-If you fly
-If you fly
-Give me some love
Importance of love and connection; without them, life is empty.
Give me some skin
-If we ain't got that
-Then we ain't got much
-And we ain't got nothing, nothing
-Give me some love
-Give me some skin
-If we ain't got that
-Then we ain't got much
-And we ain't got nothing, nothing
-You're left with nothing
Reflection on the consequence of having nothing.
And nothing's what you got
-When you ain't got no-one, no-one
-You could've had the lot
-And if it's over today
-You'll never get that thing you had together,
-No way
-You only get it once
-Fly away
Reiteration of the theme of flying away and the potential consequences.
If you fly
-If you fly
-Give me some love
Emphasis on the need for love and connection.
Give me some skin
-If we ain't got that
-Then we ain't got much
-And we ain't got nothing, nothing
-Give me some love
-Give me some skin
-If we ain't got that
-Then we ain't got much
-And we ain't got nothing, nothing
-We ain't got nothing
Acknowledgment of the transient nature of life and the possibility of forgetting important moments.
We ain't got nothing
-Our days are numbered
-I don't remember how you found it
-You will never feel the same
-And forever have to take it for granted,
-Don't remember our mistake
-So give me some love
Repetition of the importance of love and connection.
So give me some skin
-If we ain't got that,
-Then we ain't got much,
-And we ain't got nothing, nothing
-Give me some love
Continued emphasis on the significance of love and connection.
So give me some skin
-If we ain't got that
-Then we ain't got much
-And we ain't got nothing, nothing
-Give me some love
Repeated plea for love and skin, suggesting a desire for human connection.
So give me some skin
-If we ain't got that
-Then we ain't got much
-And we ain't got nothing, nothing
-So give me some love
Insistence on the importance of love and skin in the absence of which life lacks substance.
