Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're ready to try!
You want the big deals like, Trump and Murdock, you wanna smash the pie in the sky, you wanna croon just like Sinatra-
When you're try!
Nobody but you, is ever gonna make it happen, Nobody but you, is ever gonna get in the way. Nobody but you, is ever gonna make it happen. No, No nobody but you, stands in the way.
When your ready to try!
You wanna write like Lennon and McCartney, you wanna see your name in lights; you wanna floor it just like Andretti.
When you're ready to try!
Nobody but you, is ever gonna make it happen, Nobody but you, is ever gonna get in the way. Nobody but you, is ever gonna make it happen. No, No nobody but you, stands in the way.
(Guitar Solo)
You wanna heal souls like Mother Teresa, you wanna be God's Right Hand Man, You wanna thrash just like Rob Zombie.
When you're ready to Jam!
Nobody but you, is ever gonna make it happen, Nobody but you, is ever gonna get in the way. Nobody but you, is ever gonna make it happen. No, No nobody but you, stands in the way.
The song “Nobody but You” by Darren Farris is an inspirational track that encourages listeners to strive for greatness without any excuses. In the first verse, the lyrics suggest that people desire certain traits from influential figures like Arthur Fonzarelli’s cool, Gene Kelly’s moves, and Frank Sinatra’s crooning, but only when they are ready to try. In the second verse, Farris highlights big aspirations like Donald Trump’s big deals and painting like Picasso, highlighting that these should only be attempted when individuals are willing to put in the effort.
The chorus repeats a simple phrase throughout, “Nobody but you, is ever gonna make it happen, Nobody but you, is ever gonna get in the way. Nobody but you, is ever gonna make it happen. No, No nobody but you, stands in the way.” The artist emphasizes the importance of self-accountability in achieving success, and no external forces such as family, friends, or society can achieve it for someone else. The final verse highlights the power of the individual to overcome obstacles and become great or even achieve legendary status, whether they want to become a saintly figure like Mother Teresa or a thrashing legend like Rob Zombie, they must be ready to take risks and overcome their fears. Ultimately, the inspirational lyrics of the song encourage listeners to believe in themselves and take action towards achieving their greatest aspirations.
