Nothing Like You
Frightened Rabbit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fuck pages torn out
Here is a bedroom that you've never been in and
Here is your shovel, there's the ground
Look, two lovers covered in covers, uh huh
I can put us to bed tonight
I am bruised but she is dressing the wounds
Night nursing a broken man
She was not the cure for cancer
And all my questions still ask for answers
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl, she was nothing like you
After waking up post operation
I find I've come in a dream again
All the pain almost as painful as ever but
Something in me was not the same
At night during dreams of submission
I could claw back my heart and soul
As the size of the tumor diminishes
So it filled that black hole
She was not the cure for cancer
And all my questions still ask for answers
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you
She was not the cure for cancer
And all my questions still ask for answers
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you
There is nothing like someone new
And this girl she was nothing like you
The lyrics of Frightened Rabbit's song "Nothing Like You" describe the struggle of trying to move on from a past love. The first verse sets the scene of the pain and anger felt towards a previous lover, with the singer denying their presence in the story and even providing them with a shovel to dig their own grave. However, the second verse reveals that the wounds of the breakup are still fresh, and the singer is in need of comfort. The imagery of two lovers covered in covers suggests a feeling of safety and warmth, and the line "night nursing a broken man" shows that the singer has been emotionally hurt.
The third verse takes a different turn, describing a medical operation, potentially referring to cancer treatment. The pain may be physical, but there is a shift in the singer's perspective - something in them is different, especially as the tumor size decreases. It is here that the chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that no one else can truly take the place of that former love, no matter how much one tries.
Overall, the lyrics provide a raw and emotional insight into the difficulty of moving on from past relationships, especially when they are tied to deep emotional hurt or physical pain.

I can't understand how this band aren't a total chart destroying, globe-shagging phenomenon. They're totally awesome. I hope the new record garners them the recognition they deserve
@Kevin-xq3ru
In a strange way it’s probably for the best they weren’t. If they were they might have changed as a band.

@MakeToastNotWar
I can't get anybody I know to listen to Frightened Rabbit! I can't wait 'til they're all over the radio and the TV ('cause it WILL HAPPEN). I'm just going to be sitting back with a huge "I told you so" smile on my face :)

To borrow some tragic words from Don McClean,
"They would not listen,
they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will "
