Nobody Loved You
Solitude in Blossom: Manic Street Preachers' Nobody Loved You
Lyrics
What's your story baby?
Asking about the person's life story or experiences.
No control of what I am saying
Expressing a lack of control over spoken words.
Winter leaves still make me believe
Despite winter's departure, the speaker still finds hope in its remnants.
No vendettas, just a cherry blossom tree
No lingering grudges, just a serene cherry blossom tree.
Never had the chance to take you home
Reflecting on missed opportunities to connect.
Now there's no reason just another tomorrow
No clear purpose, just the arrival of another day.
You keep giving me your free air miles
Receiving something valuable but intangible, perhaps attention or affection.
What would I give just for one of your smiles
Expressing a desire for a genuine smile from the person.
Just for one of your smiles
Emphasizing the importance of a sincere smile.
Nobody loved you, nobody made you feel so alone
Declaring a lack of love and a sense of isolation.
Nobody loved you, no no
Reiterating the absence of love and loneliness.
Nobody loved you, nobody made you feel so alone
Emphasizing again the lack of love and the resulting loneliness.
Nobody loved you, no no
Repeating the theme of no love and the resultant loneliness.
Let me turn down all these lights
Suggesting an intimate setting by dimming lights.
And sit with me then you can hold me tight
Inviting closeness and comfort through physical contact.
Give me some more of your carrier bags
Seeking mundane yet personal items as tokens of affection.
And let me dream of a new autumn light
Longing for a new beginning and positive change.
Tell me your story baby
Repeating the inquiry about the person's life story.
What's your poison and what is your honey?
Asking about the person's vices and joys.
You've stopped me hurting but so much disorder
Acknowledging the person's role in easing pain but also noting chaos.
Winter flowers, did you ever forgive her?
Referencing forgiveness related to winter flowers.
Did you ever forgive her?
Repeating the question of forgiveness.
Nobody loved you, nobody made you feel so alone
Reiterating the lack of love and resulting loneliness.
Nobody loved you, no no
Emphasizing the absence of love and isolation.
Cherry blossom tree, but at least you are free
Acknowledging freedom in the imagery of a cherry blossom tree.
Nobody loved you like me
Claiming to love the person like no one else.
It's unreal now you're gone, but at least you belong
Describing the surreal feeling after the person's departure.
Nobody loved you, no no
Reiterating the lack of love and resulting loneliness.
What's your story baby?
Repeating the initial inquiry about the person's life story.
No control of what I am saying
Echoing the lack of control over spoken words.
Winter leaves still make me believe
Despite winter's departure, the speaker still finds hope in its remnants.
No vendettas, just a cherry blossom tree
No lingering grudges, just a serene cherry blossom tree.
Just a cherry blossom tree
Reiterating the image of a peaceful cherry blossom tree.
