Not for Anyone
Hot Water Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it was cold as hell.
There was nobody there that you could tell
How it came out of the clear blue,
Like a vengeful ice storm.
You felt it come down,
But it don't matter now,
It will all be over soon.
You were tenderly afflicted,
And frozen in your place,
With your wonderful fears
And the tortures you faced.
But you wouldn't move anyway,
Not for anyone.
You needed the pain
To feel you had a connection,
But it will all be over soon.
Is there something you can stand on?
For you, it seems there's nothing left to stand on.
The lyrics of Hot Water Music's song Not for Anyone deal with the theme of emotional pain and isolation. The first verse talks about how the singer was afflicted with tender emotions that made them vulnerable to the harshness of the world. This emotional turmoil was like a cold and unforgiving ice storm that descended upon them suddenly, with nobody to turn to for help or comfort. However, the singer has now reached a point where they have accepted that the pain and isolation they feel will soon come to an end.
The second verse further elaborates on the singer's emotional state, describing how they are frozen in place and struggling with their fears and internal traumas. They may be in a lot of pain, but they refuse to move, determined to cling to their suffering as a way to connect with the world around them. The final lines of the song ask if there is any hope for the singer, any way for them to find a stable footing in their lives again.
Overall, Not for Anyone is a powerful and introspective song that deals with the isolation and pain that many people experience at different points in their lives. It encourages listeners to confront their internal demons and seek out help and support as needed.
