Nothing Left To Lose
Bleed from Within Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The only hope that this cannot be the end
Have I forsaken you
Or have I forsaken myself
What have we got to lose
Someone once told me if you really believe in something
Then you have to see it through to the very end
I am left to pick up the pieces of everything
There's one piece missing
so I am complete
My world has been torn apart
pulling me down to my knees
I am gripping on pulling myself back
rebuilding the foundations of my life
Have I forsaken you
Or have I forsaken myself
What have we got to lose
What have we got to fucking lose
You will never understand this situation
Until you are on your knees Praying for a miracle
That will not just fall from the sky
My final affliction
The song "Nothing Left to Lose" by Bleed from Within is a reflection on a deep internal struggle between two conflicting ideas: the desire to hold onto everything they had and the inevitable acceptance of a new reality. The lyrics describe the singer's attempt to pick up the pieces of their life after a great loss and understand what they have truly lost in the process. They question whether they have forsaken the people they love or themselves and wonder what they have left to lose. However, the song ends with a defiant scream of frustration, anger and desperation as they struggle to make sense of their final affliction.
The lyrics effectively convey a sense of bitter disappointment, regret, and conflicting emotions in the wake of a great loss. The song's structure reinforces this, with its slow, somber verses contrasting with its explosive choruses. The band's blend of heavy metal, metalcore, and deathcore provides a perfect backdrop for the raw emotion expressed in the lyrics. Ultimately, the song is a powerful reflection on the difficulty of coping with the loss and moving forward after experiencing something traumatic.

Countless times I see the figure in my head
I keep imagining the same scenario over and over again
The only hope that this cannot be the end
I am holding onto the hope that this is not the end
Have I forsaken you
Have I abandoned you?
Or have I forsaken myself
Or have I given up on myself?
What have we got to lose
Is there anything we can lose at this point?
Someone once told me if you really believe in something
I remember someone telling me that if you truly believe in something
Then you have to see it through to the very end
You must stick with it until the very end
I am left to pick up the pieces of everything we had and now
I am the one who has to deal with the aftermath of what we had before
There's one piece missing so I am complete
Even though one part is missing, I still feel complete
My world has been torn apart pulling me down to my knees
I have been through a lot and it has broken me down
I am gripping on pulling myself back rebuilding the foundations of my life
I am trying to hold on and rebuild my life from scratch
What have we got to fucking lose
At this point, there is nothing to lose
You will never understand this situation
You cannot comprehend the situation I am in
Until you are on your knees Praying for a miracle
Until you are in a desperate situation, praying for a miracle
That will not just fall from the sky
But realizing that miracles do not just happen out of nowhere
My final affliction
This is my last hardship

Can we take a moment to realize how perfect BFW songs are. You can replay all their albums for months and never get enough of them. That's perfect music.
@davewetering7554
Same here my friend! Have no words..
@cobijing
it is just a copycrap from the 90s hardcore bands. You should listen to real music, like devil driver, hatebreed... There is a famous quote in spanish: 'Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. '
@MrCrakerjack99
sebastian G. Lmao I’ve listened to plenty Hatebreed and this sounds nothing like it. Also the production for Hatebreed is absolute trash
@Siisjoonperkele
sebastian G. Your ” you should listen to real music” makes your whole point invalid. Hating on another who listens to the same genre of music as you and still you spit hate. Gtfo and think on the famous spanish quote you had and reflect it on your own actions.
@esauvargas3647
Yeah dude, we are all in this. It's all about tastes and bands who we like more or less. But at the end we all meet in the pit.
@wessmith3204
Sylosis, Trivium, and now Bleed From Within. It’s been epic.
