Nothing but
Asian Glow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wasn't planning to do this. Maybe I'm still getting taller
Discerned all the floor's moving back an forth
The lyrics in "Nothing but" by Asian Glow are reflective of a tumultuous emotional state, and the imagery used creates a vivid depiction of the internal chaos being experienced. The first line, "turn around, all the ceilings crushed down all my bones," is a powerful metaphor for feeling overwhelmed and oppressed. The next line, "I wasn't planning to do this. Maybe I'm still getting taller," could be interpreted as feeling like one's own strength and resilience are surprising even themselves in the face of adversity. The final line, "Discerned all the floor's moving back an forth," further emphasizes the feeling of instability both inside and outside of the self, where even the ground beneath one's feet seems to be unsteady.
The song as a whole seems to be about the struggle to find meaning and purpose in a confusing and chaotic world. The lyrics are introspective and emotional, but also poetic and abstract, allowing for various interpretations. The use of metaphors and vivid language creates a dream-like quality to the piece, and the tone is melancholy yet hopeful.

Turn around, all the ceilings crushed down all my bones
As I turned around, I felt a heavy weight on my bones as if the ceilings were collapsing on me
I wasn't planning to do this. Maybe I'm still getting taller
I didn't intend for this to happen, but maybe it's because I'm still growing and changing
Discerned all the floor's moving back an forth
I could sense the movement of the floor as it swayed back and forth
