The lyrics of "No Future No Past" by Cloud Nothings can be interpreted in a number of different ways, and the overall meaning of the song may be open to interpretation. However, one possible reading of the lyrics is that they express a sense of despair or hopelessness that comes with the end of a relationship. The repetition of the phrase "give up, come to know, we're through" creates a sense of finality and resignation, suggesting that the singer has accepted that the relationship is over and is ready to move on.
The repeated refrain of "no future, no past" reinforces this sense of finality, as it suggests that the relationship has come to a complete end and there is no hope for reconciliation or nostalgia for what once was. The lack of future and past implies a sort of present moment, a present where the relationship doesn't exist anymore.
The repetition of these phrases throughout the song also creates a kind of hypnotic effect and a sense of unease or anxiety, further emphasizing the emotional turmoil and confusion that often accompanies the end of a relationship. Overall, "No Future No Past" is a powerful expression of the pain of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on.

You can really hear the Black Sabbath inspiration here. Brilliant twisting of metal into a whole new beast.
Also I remember back when this released and we were all like AOTY ez, but this was only the harbinger for how MASSIVE 2012 was for music.

This is really a cool track, I like it. Not afraid to rock, we need more bands like this.

Saw these guys live last night. They played this song and I pretty much died from how perfect it was.

Wow. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album. Their first album was catchy and the distortion was cute, but this is just great.

Best band to come out of Ohio in a long time, I love this song. There's so much despair and sadness in it.

This is late 80s DIY rock upgraded for 2012... Amazing how few bands embrace this kind of sound. What an album!!! Its only Feb 2 - but I have to think that this album is going to prove one of the best made in 2012

I typically don't listen to music this rough and raw sounding but this album is very good. 'Wasted days' is unreal!
Brian Bates
I can't stop listening to these guys. Best stuff, I have run into since I first listened to Blood Red Shoes.
