Nothing To Lose
Åskväder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This time you thought that it had changed but that you would regret
A thousand hours ain't enough to describe where all went wrong
Keep on working on evil schemes was the plan all along
An old and lonely man who's goal is to destroy
A rule of fear and hate you seem to enjoy
Knowing that the fame you had is built on deceit
Grasping for the long lost hope by deceptive treachery
Nothing left for you to lose through your raging jealousy
In Åskväder's song Nothing to Lose, the lyrics describe someone walking down a familiar road with a burden to forget. This time, they thought it was different but ended up regretting it. The singer describes how a thousand hours would not be enough time to describe everything that went wrong. The person they are addressing seems to be someone who has been working on evil schemes all along, despite the consequences.
The second stanza describes an old and lonely man, whose only goal is to destroy. They seem to enjoy the rule of fear and hate that they have created. The man's life is described as sad and twisted, bitter sweet, knowing that the fame they have achieved is built on deceit.
The last line in the song sums up the mood perfectly. "Grasping for the long lost hope by deceptive treachery, nothing left for you to lose through your raging jealousy." It seems the man's jealousy has blinded him and he is willing to do anything, even use treachery and deceit, to regain what he has lost.
