Nothing To Lose But Your Head
AUGUSTINES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like your hollow hearts hangin' in the wind
Your black lungs can't breathe
Ya got nothing to lose but your head
There are nights that I can't sleep
My mind feels like an
Empty parking lot for the unloved and lonesome ones
They sit at a table in my head
Like everyone sees your heart
Is blown apart, that it's crippled
And cracked and had enough
Now you got nothing to lose but your head shine a light down it's your time
Now you got nothing to lose but your head shine a light down
In the dark
Have you ever lost someone
Screamed holy mary down the hall
Or cried against a steering wheel
And hated every mirror you ever saw
Have you reached out in a cold cold night
Waved goodbye into headlights, or known you were wrong your whole life
The day you felt true love, love
You feel see through
Like everyone sees your heart
Is blown apart, that it's crippled
And cracked and had enough
Now you got nothing to lose but your head shine a light down it's your time
You got nothing to lose but your head shine a light down
In the dark
The dark
You feel see through like everyone sees your heart is blown apart
That it's crippled and cracked and have enough
Hey
Hey you gotta get me outta here
Hey runnin' circles in my brain
Hey you gotta get me outta here
Hey you go nothing to lose but your head
Hey you gotta get me outta here
Hey runnin' circles in my brain
Hey you gotta get me outta here
Hey you go nothing to lose but your
Nothin' to lose but your
Nothin' to lose but your
Nothin' to lose but your
Nothin' to lose but your head
Nothin' to lose but your
Nothin' to lose but your
Nothin' to lose but your
Nothin' to lose but your head
In Augustines' song "Nothing to Lose But Your Head," the lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil that loneliness can bring. The singer asks if the listener has ever felt hollow and unable to breathe, as if their heart and lungs have been stripped away. He describes the feeling of being transparent, as if everyone can see the damage that has been done to their heart. The lyrics paint a picture of crying out in despair, reaching out in the darkness, and feeling as though every mirror reflects back a shattered and broken version of oneself. However, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope. The singer reminds the listener that when they have nothing left to lose, they can shine a light down into the darkness and find their way out.
The song is full of powerful imagery and raw emotion. It speaks to the pain that we all experience at some point in our lives and reminds us that we are not alone.
