Nothings is Free
Unveiling a World Lost: Nigel Clark's Reflection on Change
Lyrics
Christ this just don't feel right
Expressing discomfort or unease about the current situation
did the world just change overnight
Questioning sudden and drastic changes in the world
did i spend the whole of yesterday
Reflecting on a day spent without awareness or understanding
not knowing ?
Uncertainty about being unaware of something significant
Whatever happened to the place i loved
Asking about the disappearance of a beloved place
and the people who cared for me ?
Wondering about the absence of caring people
you don't know its gone till you look
Realization of loss only upon looking back
then you will see
Encouraging observation to perceive the reality of loss
they sold everything
Things were sold without ever being owned
that was never owned
Highlighting the paradoxical nature of ownership
they'll probably tax the air
Speculating on the possibility of taxing basic elements like air
what we took for granted years ago
Expressing nostalgia for things taken for granted in the past
has now gone
Emphasizing the irreversible loss of what was once available
whatever happened to the life i loved
Questioning the disappearance of a cherished life
and the days that seemed so free ?
Recollection of carefree days that no longer exist
you don't know its gone till you look
Reiteration of the delayed realization of loss
then you will see (then you will see)
Re-emphasizing the need to observe and acknowledge the loss
sold what we took for granted
Reiterating the selling of taken-for-granted items
Now nothings for free
Stating that nothing comes without a cost or payment now
Whatever happened to the place i loved
Questioning the disappearance of a beloved place once more
and the way things used to be
Reflecting on the change from how things used to be
don't know its gone until you look
Reiteration that the loss is only realized upon inspection
then you will see (then you will see)
Encouraging recognition of the reality of the loss once more
sold what we took for granted
Re-emphasizing the selling of previously overlooked things
now nothings for free (now nothings free)
Affirming that there are no longer things available without a cost
now nothings free
Repetition emphasizing the absence of anything free now
