Nothing Left To Lose
● The Pretty Reckless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was only 19, you were 29
It's just 10 years, but it's such a long time
In a heartbeat, I would do it all again

Late night sex, smokin' cigarettes
I try real hard, but I can't forget
Now in a heartbeat, I would do it all again
Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now
Now I'm lost somewhere

Lost between Elvis and suicide
Ever since the day we died, well
I've got nothing left to lose

After Jesus and Rock 'n' Roll
Couldn't save my immoral soul, well
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left to lose

Callin' out sins just to pass the time
My life goes by in the blink of an eye
I know you want me
I was only lookin' for a friend

And everything that I was
And everything that I've become
Just falls into the end and

Now I see that you and me were never meant
Were never meant to be now
Now I'm lost somewhere

Lost between Elvis and suicide
Ever since the day we died, well
I've got nothing left to lose

After Jesus and rock 'n' roll
Couldn't save my immoral soul, well
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left to lose

Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now
Now I'm lost somewhere

Lost between Elvis and suicide
Ever since the day we died, well
I've got nothing left to lose

After Jesus and rock 'n' roll
Couldn't save my immoral soul, well




I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left to lose

Overall Meaning

The song "Nothing Left to Lose" by The Pretty Reckless talks about a relationship that meant a lot to the singer, despite the fact that it was short-lived. It seems to be a reflection on a past relationship in which the singer was only 19 and her partner was 29, making a 10-year age difference. They had a wild, carefree time together, with lots of late-night sex and cigarette smoking, which left an indelible impression on her. Even though the relationship ended badly, with the singer feeling lost and suicidal, she still maintains that, given the chance, she would do it all again.


However, over time, she has come to realize that she and her partner were never meant to be together, and that she is now lost somewhere between Elvis and suicide. The song is about the singer's struggle to come to terms with her past, and with the fact that she has nothing left to lose. She has already lost everything that was important to her, and she is now left with only memories and regrets.


Overall, the song is a deeply personal reflection on the past, and on the things that we lose along the way as we move through life. It's a poignant reminder that, no matter how much we may try to hold on to the past, we can never go back and change what has already happened.
