Nothing to Lose, Pt. 1
Embracing Freedom: A Journey of Self-Discovery through 'Nothing to Lose, Pt. 1'
Lyrics
He gave me nothing to lose.
He didn't provide me with anything that I could risk losing.
So hold your flashlight up like you got nothing to lose.
Hold your light up boldly as if you have no fear of losing anything.
Pull your hood up like you got nothing to prove.
Cover yourself up confidently as if you have nothing to prove to anyone.
Can we stand together like we won’t be moved?
Can we unite and remain steadfast, not yielding to external pressures?
Stay awake we’ve been asked to choose.
We must stay alert as we've been presented with choices.
So hold your flashlight up like you got nothing to lose.
Similar to line 2, boldly display your light without fear of losing anything.
Pull your hood up like you got nothing to prove.
Again, confidently cover yourself without feeling the need to prove anything.
Can we stand together like we won’t be moved.
Can we remain united and resolute without being swayed?
The time is now, we’ve been asked to choose.
The moment to make a decisive choice is now.
I thought we lost you.
The speaker initially thought someone was lost.
Turns out we found ourselves.
It turns out that the individual found their true self.
Hold our eyes up to the sky.
Look upwards and face the sky, possibly seeking guidance or inspiration.
Be sure to travel light.
Travel lightly, possibly in life or emotionally, not burdened by excess.
Let our passion be our wealth.
Let our intense emotions and desires be our wealth.
Who are we trying to define?
We question who we truly are, seeking identity.
Got nothing we need to prove.
We have nothing to prove to anyone.
So take all you can see,
Take advantage of everything visible or available.
‘cause I found me when I stopped looking for you.
The speaker discovered themselves when they stopped searching for someone else.
The world can’t take nothing from me,
The world cannot take away anything from the speaker now that they've stopped seeking external validation.
now I’ve stopped looking for you.
The speaker no longer seeks validation or approval from someone else.
I always thought I had something.
The speaker previously believed they possessed something valuable.
Thought everything was real.
The speaker thought everything around them was genuine.
Thought the world was mine.
The speaker thought they owned the world or had control over it.
Nothing bleeds nothing.
Nothing can harm or cause pain when there was nothing of value in the first place.
Nothing forges nothing.
Nothing meaningful or substantial can be created from nothingness.
You gave it all I got nothing left to lose.
The person addressed gave their all, leaving the speaker with nothing more to lose.
You gave it all I got nothing left to prove…
The person addressed gave everything, so the speaker has nothing left to prove to them.
