B A Nobody
Soak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is an unguarded dart
We're trying hard
To make something of what we are
Dying trapped between
The main blanket and new sheet
We'll never amount
To anything
Come on, come on
(Come on, come on)
Be just like me
Come on, come on
(Come on, come on)
Be a no body
Come on, come on
(Come on, come on)
Be just like me
Come on, come on
(Come on, come on)
Be a no body
You ring, you ring a bell to show
You're bleeding
I watched, I saw your mind fall,
Out of your head
Weekends and cheap thrills,
Risk it all for an inch of fun,
We'll never amount
To anything
Come on, come on
(Come on, come on)
Be just like me
Come on, come on
(Come on, come on)
Be a no body
Come on, come on
(Come on, come on)
Be just like me
Come on, come on
(Come on, come on)
Be a no body
Be a no body
Come on, come on
(Come on, come on)
Be just like me
Come on, come on
(Come on, come on)
Be a no body
Come on, come on
(Come on, come on)
Be just like me
Come on, come on
(Come on, come on)
Be a no body
Be a no body
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Be a no body
Come on, come on
Be just like me
Come on, come on
Be a no body
The song "B a noBody" by Soak is a poignant and introspective exploration of the struggles of adolescence and the pressure to conform. The lyrics reflect the conflict between the desire for individuality and the fear of being an outcast. The teenage heart is described as an unguarded dart, vulnerable to the harsh realities of life. The constant striving to make something of oneself is juxtaposed with the feeling of being trapped between the old and the new, never able to fully emerge from one's own past.
The repetition of the phrase "Come on, come on" throughout the song is an invitation for the listener to join in the struggle. The singer encourages the listener to "be just like me," to be a "no body" by rejecting the expectations and demands of society. The concept of being a "no body" is therefore not meant to diminish one's worth or identity, but rather to reject the idea that worth is tied to external validation and conformity.
The imagery used in the song is vivid and striking. The reference to bleeding and the mind falling out of one's head create a sense of visceral discomfort, evoking the intense emotions and physical sensations of adolescence. The line "risk it all for an inch of fun" captures the recklessness and impulsiveness of youth, while also suggesting a deep sense of longing for something more meaningful.
Overall, "B a noBody" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that speaks to the universal struggle of self-discovery and the search for identity.

Is an unguided dart
