Nothing To Lose
ANTENA Isabelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we are wise
We're not expecting rainbow-colored skies
Not right away
Nothing to lose
It might be fun
Don't talk of spending life times in the sun
Both you and I have seen what time can do
We'll only have ourselves if we build dreams that don't come true
What can we lose
We know we'll scar
Let's wait before we talk of evermore
One day we may
Nothing to lose
But lots to gain if love decides to stay
Both you and I have seen what time can do
We'll only have ourselves if we build dreams that don't come true
What can we lose
We know we'll scar
Let's wait before we talk of evermore
One day we may
Nothing to lose
But lots to gain if love decides to stay
Nothing to lose
The song “Nothing to Lose” by Antena Isabelle talks about being cautious in love and relationships by not expecting everything to be perfect immediately. The lyrics suggest that if we are wise, we should not expect rainbow-colored skies right away. This means that we should not expect everything to be perfect from the beginning. We should be patient and wait for things to unfold naturally. While the idea of spending a lifetime in the sun might be fun, we should not talk about it because it might not happen.
The song also stresses the importance of building dreams that might not come true. The lyrics suggest that both the singer and her love interest have seen what time can do, and they only have themselves to build these dreams. The song emphasizes that people might scar in this process, but they should not be afraid to wait in pursuit of evermore, because one day it may come. The lyrics suggest that there is nothing to lose but a lot to gain if love decides to stay.
The overall theme of the song is to be patient in love and relationships, and not to expect things to be perfect right away, but to build dreams and wait for them to unfold naturally. The song touches on the idea of being cautious in love and not getting too attached too quickly.

One of my favourite songs from the great Henry Mancini. This beuatiful track was delivered for the first time in the Black Edward's movie "The Party" starring Peter Sellers. This cover by the belgium jazz singer Isabell Antena is indeed a great one!
