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.

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 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 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

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

Same here. Fantastic track. Can't believe some bands block Rick from playing their music. Seems like a waste of good advertising to me.
