No Fun
Armin van Buuren Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do you do it every time?
When all we want to do is fly
Oh, don't you want to feel alive?
You're gonna have to take a side

So come on, don't hold back
So come on, don't you leave
No one's controlling you
No one's controlling me

No, we don't waste no time
No, we don't need no sleep
And we can go all night
Come on

No, you're no fun
No, you're no fun
No, you're no fun
Come on, come on
No, you're no fun

No, you don't need to run away
When everybody calls your name
So tell me what you're gonna say?
And tell me that you're gonna change

So come on, don't hold back
So come on, don't you leave
No one's controlling you
No one's controlling me

No, we don't waste no time
No, we don't need no sleep
And we can go all night
Come on

No, you're no fun
No, you're no fun
No, you're no fun
Come on, come on
No, you're no fun

No, you're no fun
No, you're no fun
No, you're no fun
Come on, come on
No, you're no fun

No, you're no fun
No, you're no fun
No, you're no fun




No, you're no fun
No, you're no fun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Armin van Buuren & The Stickmen Project's song "No Fun" seems to be an empowering message to embrace life and take control of one's own decisions. The repeated question of "Why do you do it every time?" could refer to someone who consistently holds themselves back or follows societal standards, and the desire for them to break free from those constraints. The line "No one's controlling you, no one's controlling me" highlights the importance of individual agency and the ability to make choices for oneself.


The chorus of "No, you're no fun" could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be a playful, lighthearted jab at someone who is hesitant to join in on the fun and let loose, or it could be a more serious criticism of a person who is too serious or lacks spontaneity. The bridge, with the line "No, you don't need to run away when everybody calls your name" suggests that perhaps the person being addressed is afraid of being seen as too wild or carefree, and is encouraged to embrace their true self.

love it armin, even if it is different than i know

@samhoffman4795

C’mon Armin. We can’t even compare this song to humming the lights, tuvan, lights between us, etc. etc. I’ve been your fan for the past 15 years but this one was a disappointment. I stayed awake for many hours. It’s 4 Am in LA…going back to bed kinda disappointed..

@dorotabas9306

Great song and beautiful music ❤️I like this .
