Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause you are nothing to me
And it means nothing to me
That you blew this away
'Cause you could've been number one
If you only found the time
And you could've ruled the whole world
You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away
You're still nothing to me
And this is nothing to me
And you don't know what you've done
But I'll give you a clue
You could've been number one
If you only had the chance
And you could've ruled the whole world
If you had the time
You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away
You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away
In Muse's song "Uno," the lyrics speak to someone who had the opportunity to be great, but didn't take advantage of it. The singer is addressing this person, telling them that they could have been "number one" and "ruled the whole world" if only they had found the time or taken the chance. The singer laments what could have been, expressing that they could have had a lot of fun, but instead, this person "blew it away."
The repeated phrase "this means nothing to me" and the declaration that the person is "nothing" to the singer suggests that this person has lost all respect or admiration from the singer. The singer believes that this person has made a terrible mistake in not taking advantage of their potential. The use of the pronoun "we" in the chorus suggests that the singer and this person may have had a connection once, but it has been lost because of this missed opportunity.
Overall, the song seems to be a message of regret and missed opportunities. The use of the word "blow" throughout the song gives a sense of destruction or loss, further emphasizing the idea that something valuable was lost because of this person's inaction.

This means nothing to me
I don't feel anything about this
'Cause you are nothing to me
You don't mean anything to me
And it means nothing to me
I still don't care about this
That you blew this away
You messed up this opportunity
'Cause you could've been number one
You had the potential to be the best
If you only found the time
If you had made time for it
And you could've ruled the whole world
You could have had immense power and influence
If you had the chance
If you had taken the opportunity
And we could've had so much fun
We could have had a great time together
But you blew it away
But you made a mistake and ruined it
You're still nothing to me
You still don't mean anything to me
And this is nothing to me
This doesn't matter to me

But you blew it away
But you made a mistake and ruined it
