Nothing
Emotional Depths Unveiled: Mariah Counts' Powerful 'Nothing'
Lyrics
And there's flames inside my eyes
Feeling intense emotions, possibly anger or passion
But my tears, they drown them out
Feeling overwhelmed by sadness or pain
And the smoke, it fills the room
Metaphorically describes feeling suffocated by a situation
But I barely make it out
Struggling to navigate through difficulties
Cuz I'm held down by you
Feeling restrained or limited by someone
No tension here
No obvious conflict or stress in the situation
It's one way it's clear
A situation with a clear, one-sided perspective
Nowhere to go or hide
Feeling trapped or unable to find a way out
Cuz I know what I'm feeling inside
Being self-aware of internal emotions
You got a hold on me
Being controlled or influenced by someone
And I beg you to notice me
Desire for attention or recognition from the person who holds control
Did you know that
-Can you see me
-You got a hold on me
-And I beg you to notice me
-Did you know that
-Can you see me
-Mistaking standards for expectations
Mistaking personal values for anticipated outcomes
And the heartbreak is the wave I'm gonna ride
Metaphor for embracing heartache as an inevitable experience
And the high tide
-Yea, that's my vibe
Emotionally detached, floating above distressing situations
Way up above the water
-I'm floating on and on again
Continuously experiencing emotional ups and downs
No tension here
Reiteration of feeling confined by emotional entanglement
It's one way it's clear
-Nowhere to go or hide
-Cuz I know what I'm feeling inside
-You got a hold on me
Repeated plea for recognition or acknowledgment
And I beg you to notice me
-Did you know that
-Can you see me
-You got a hold on me
-And I beg you to notice me
-Did you know that
-Can you see me
-I don't wanna hear
-What you're gonna say and
-How can I explain
-All the time we wasted
-Yeah
-Oh whoa oh
-You don't wanna hear
-What I have to say and
-How can I explain
-When I'm always wasted
-Yeah
-Oh whoa oh
-You got a hold on me
-And I beg you to notice me
-Did you know that
-Can you see me
-You got a hold on me
-And I beg you to notice me
-Did you know that
-Can you see me
-Nothing, nothing
Feeling of emptiness and void within oneself
But an empty space
-Nothing, nothing
-Can you see it in my face
-Nothing
-Nothing inside
-Nothing
-Nothing
-Nothing
-But an empty space
