No One to Lose
Love's Breaking Point: Embracing Freedom in 'No One to Lose'
Lyrics
Not again
Expressing reluctance or frustration at a repeated situation
I don't wanna hear a word
Refusal to listen to further explanations or justifications
I've inhaled every lie you've been spitting for too long
Feeling tired of hearing constant lies from someone
Picking dirt
Metaphorically referencing unpleasant things from the past
From underneath my finger nails
Metaphor for dealing with past difficulties
I've been clawing my way to your heart
Struggling to gain affection or love from someone
Now I'm done
Deciding to end a situation or relationship
If this is how you love
Questioning the nature of love received
I'd rather you hate me
Preferably being disliked over receiving this kind of love
If this is how you love
Reiteration of preferring hate over such love
I'd rather you hate me
Repeating the preference for dislike rather than this love
But you, you
Focus on the other person's ability to justify actions
Look so damn good in every excuse
Admiration despite recognizing excuses made by the person
You, you
Reiteration of the allure despite recognizing the excuses
I'm better off with no-one to lose
Realization that being alone is better than being with this person
You're afraid
Noting the person's fear of losing attention to someone else
I'd set my eyes on someone else
Willingness to divert attention to someone new if noticed
If you'd spare your attention
Indicating unrequited affection despite not receiving attention
You'd see my affection was yours
Belief that affection was always directed toward the person
It's too late
Feeling regret for not standing up earlier in the relationship
I should've stood up for myself
Regret for not asserting oneself previously
I won't give all of me
Refusing to give everything when receiving only half in return
When I get half of you anymore
Feeling incomplete in the relationship
If this is how you love
Reiteration of preferring hate over such love
I'd rather you hate me
Expressing dislike for the form of love received
If this is how you love
Repeating the dislike for the form of love received
I'd rather you hate me
Reiteration of the dislike for the form of love received
But you, you
Emphasizing the allure despite recognizing excuses
Look so damn good in every excuse
Reiteration of admiration despite recognizing excuses
You, you
Realization that being alone is preferable
I'm better off with no-one to lose
Emphasizing the preference for solitude
Nothing to lose
Emphasizing the lack of attachment or commitments
Don't you tell me, don't you tell me now
Resistance to hearing more justifications or explanations
I shouldn't go
Feeling it's too late to prevent a negative outcome
It's too late, all is broken
Expressing that everything is irreparably damaged
I don't wanna know
Refusal to know more about the situation due to its brokenness
Don't you tell me, don't you tell me now
Resistance to further information or confrontation
I shouldn't go
Feeling it's too late to prevent a negative outcome
It's too late now, all is broken
Reiteration of irreversible damage in the situation
I don't wanna know
Disinterest in knowing more due to the irreparable state
But you, you
Emphasizing the allure despite recognizing excuses
Look so damn good in every excuse
Reiteration of admiration despite recognizing excuses
You, you
Realization that being alone is preferable
I'm better off with no-one to lose
Emphasizing the preference for solitude
