Nobody Knows
Bamboo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just looking for a heart to call my own
Been here before, Ain't nothing new to me
It's the same of reaction, Lets just out the blame on me
It's amazing how love sets you free
A spell to powerful for a simple boy like me
Gave it up when I had ya
Just give it some time
You, You...
Without you I'm gone
You, You...
Left without a reason I fall
Nobody knows, what the paid piper knows
What's it gonna take for you to see
God I need to know
Before time stops and my heart drops
Is there something you could do to
Help me see it through
You, You...
Without you I'm gone
You, You...
Left without a reason I fall
Bamboo's song "Nobody Knows" is a soulful tune about searching for love and belonging. The song opens with the line, "Everybody's looking for the answers, I'm just looking for a heart to call my own." The lyrics speak about the familiar feeling of heartbreak and how sometimes we blame ourselves for the failure of a relationship. It's a vulnerable admission that sometimes we can't help the way things turn out even though we've been down this road before.
The chorus of the song is where Bamboo really reflects on the power of love in our lives. He sings, "It's amazing how love sets you free, a spell too powerful for a simple boy like me." He speaks of a lost love and how if he knew then what he knows now, he would have been a better man. The chorus is accompanied by a rocking guitar and soulful singing that almost forces the listener to reflect on their own experiences with love and loss.
The second verse is a plea for help, asking whether there is something the universe can do to help "before time stops and my heart drops." It's a sad admission that love can be fleeting and heartbreak can feel overwhelming. The song ends with the chorus repeated, emphasizing the idea that life without love can be a lonely one.
Overall, "Nobody Knows" is a reflective, soulful track that speaks to the universal feeling of searching for love and dealing with heartbreak.
