No Love, No Nothin'
Yearning Echoes: A Promise of Solitude and Unwavering Devotion
Lyrics
No love, no nothin'.
Expressing a lack of love or anything worthwhile
I'm just about as solitary
Feeling extremely alone
As anyone could be
As isolated as one could possibly be
Of course my life is not so merry
Life isn’t particularly joyful
But that's alright with me
Despite life's challenges, contentment is found
No love, no nothin',
Reiteration of the lack of love or anything significant
Until my baby comes home,
Love is absent until the speaker's partner returns
No sir! No nothin',
Firm denial of any good or positivity
As long as baby must roam,
The absence of anything positive while the partner is away
I promised him I'd wait for him
A commitment to wait for the partner despite immense difficulties
Till even Hades froze,
Expressing a willingness to wait indefinitely
I'm lonesome, Heaven knows,
Feeling profoundly lonely
But what I said still goes,
Despite loneliness, the commitment remains unchanged
No love, no nothin',
Reiteration of the absence of love or anything substantial
And that's a promise I'll keep,
A promise to uphold this lack of love
No fun with no one,
No enjoyment without the partner
I'm getting plenty of sleep
Managing with plenty of rest while partner is away
My heart's on strike
The heart is closed off, comparing it to an empty honeycomb
And though it's like an empty honeycomb,
Describing the emptiness and lack of love
No love, no sir! No nothin',
Reaffirmation of the absence of love or anything meaningful
Till my baby comes home
Love remains absent until the partner's return
My heart's on strike
Reiteration of the heart being closed off
And though it's like an empty honeycomb,
Emphasizing the emptiness and lack of love
No love, no sir! No nothin',
Restating the absence of love or anything significant
Till my baby comes home
Commitment to wait for the partner's return
No Sir, I'm waiting
Firmly stating the waiting period until the partner's return
Till my baby comes home.
Continuation of waiting for the partner's return
