Nothing At All
Aiden Grimshaw Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Electric feel your hands around me
Up and down me rest my mind
Unbroken seal your light astounds me
Take my dark and let it shine

Brighter than this path before me
Reassure me take my hand
Hypnotize me then rewrite me

Anything but fight this
Anything but fight this

Electric feel your hands around me
Up and down me rest my mind
Unbroken seal your light astounds me
Take my dark and let it shine

Brighter than this path before me
Reassure me take my hand
Hypnotize me then rewrite me
Anything but fight this
Anything but fight this

(can we not be great together?)

In this day i'm fascinated, too much time deliberated
Wasted, over nothing at all we could have made this, but now we're nothing at all
In this day i'm fascinated, too much time deliberated
Wasted, over nothing at all we could have made this, but now we're nothing at all

Unspoken words a powerful surge of all i've heard of on this earth
Rewritten rules will you abuse me use me 'til all that's left is dirt
Feel it running through this person you've been cursing ease your tongue
Hypnotize me then rewrite me anything but fight this, anything but fight this

(can we not be great together?)

In this day i'm fascinated, too much time deliberated
Wasted, over nothing at all we could have made this, but now we're nothing at all
In this day i'm fascinated, too much time deliberated
Wasted, over nothing at all we could have made this, but now we're nothing at all

Too long since i held you all wrong then i met you
Please don't let this take you
Please don't let this break you
Too long since i kissed you all wrong now i miss you
Please don't let it take you
Please don't

(can we not be great together?)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Nothing at all" by Aiden Grimshaw seems to be addressing the desire for a deeper connection with someone. The opening lines "Electric feel your hands around me /Up and down me rest my mind" imply a sense of comfort and surrendering to the person's touch. The chorus "Brighter than this path before me /Reassure me take my hand /Hypnotize me then rewrite me /Anything but fight this," seems to be a plea to the person to take charge and lead the way to a brighter future. The repetition of the word "anything but fight this," implies that there might be opposition or obstacle in the way that threatens their connection.

In the bridge, there is a sense of regret and a desire to make things work out. The line "too much time deliberated /Wasted, over nothing at all we could have made this, but now we're nothing at all," implies that they had a chance to build something but somehow didn't seize the opportunity. The repetition of "Please don't let this take you /Please don't let this break you" adds a sense of urgency and the feeling that something important might be lost. The last line "Too long since I kissed you all wrong now I miss you," adds a layer of intimacy to the song and emphasizes the desire for connection.

Electric feel your hands around me
The sensation of your touch electrifies me

Up and down me rest my mind
The up and down movements of your touch calm my mind

Unbroken seal your light astounds me
Your unwavering brightness dazzles me

Take my dark and let it shine
Accept my flaws and help me become a better person

Brighter than this path before me
You bring light to a previously dark and uncertain path

Reassure me take my hand
Give me confidence and support by holding my hand

Hypnotize me then rewrite me
Make me believe and feel something new that changes me for the better

Anything but fight this
I am willing to do whatever it takes to make this work

In this day i'm fascinated, too much time deliberated
I am intrigued by this particular time and the choices I have made

Wasted, over nothing at all we could have made this, but now we're nothing at all
We missed an opportunity to create something beautiful and now we have lost each other

Unspoken words a powerful surge of all i've heard of on this earth
The words that we do not say have a strong impact on me

Rewritten rules will you abuse me use me 'til all that's left is dirt
When we change the rules, will you take advantage of me until I am completely destroyed

Feel it running through this person you've been cursing ease your tongue
The negative emotions you have towards me can be resolved by speaking out loud

Too long since i held you all wrong then i met you
I have missed holding you for too long, but now I know how to properly love you

Please don't let this take you
Do not let this situation consume and destroy you

Please don't let this break you
Do not let this situation shatter and ruin you

Too long since i kissed you all wrong now i miss you
I cannot bear not kissing you for any longer, I miss you

Please don't let it take you
Do not let this situation consume and destroy you

Please don't
Please do not let this end and let us still have a chance together

(can we not be great together?)
Can we not overcome our differences and create something beautiful together?
