Nothing at All
Ethereal Desires Unveiled: Perfume Genius' 'Nothing at All' Revealed
Lyrics
Right on time
Expressing punctuality or being in sync with something.
Set me free don't wait
Requesting liberation without delay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis or enthusiasm.
Soul on fire
Intense passion or emotion.
Baby say my name
Asking for personal recognition through the utterance of one's name.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis or enthusiasm.
You can say what you want
Inviting open communication regardless of the content.
But I already know
Claiming prior awareness or understanding.
Our body is breaking down
Suggesting physical or emotional breakdown.
To a single beat
Reduction of experience to a singular rhythm or essence.
The sadness you carry
Acknowledging a pervasive and persistent sadness.
It hangs like a ghost
Comparing the sadness to a haunting presence.
And I'll just tear it down
Expressing the intention to dismantle the sadness.
And I'll wear it like a ribbon
Intending to wear the dismantled sadness as an adornment.
Give it
An imperative, possibly related to giving or sharing.
I got what you want, babe
Repetition of possessing what someone wants or needs, alternating between "babe" and "son."
I got what you need, son
-I got what you want, babe
-I got what you need, son
-I got what you want, babe
-I got what you need, son
-I got what you want, babe
-I got what you need, son
-Nothing, nothing at all
Stating the absence of anything.
Right on time
-Set me free don't wait
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
-Soul on fire
-Baby say my name
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
-You can say what you want
-But I already know
-Our body is breaking down
-To a single beat
-The sadness you carry
-It hangs like a ghost
-And I'll just tear it down
-And I'll wear it like a ribbon
-I got what you want, babe
-I got what you need, son
-I got what you want, babe
-I got what you need, son
-I got what you want, babe
-I got what you need, son
-I got what you want, babe
-I got what you need, son
-Nothing, nothing at all
