Nothing Really Matters
David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching them all go insane
Look at 'em all
Look at 'em do evil things
So I go out and dance
Party my problems away
Look at me now (look at me now)
In a club nothing really matters
In a club nothing really matters
In a club nothing really matters
In a club nothing really matters
Drop the beat
In a club
I rock club life, come out at night
Shot til daylight, hot models my type
Let’s go, take flight, explode dynamite
Disco black light
In a club
Party people rocking hardcore in a club
DJ rock the fucking dance floor in a club
Hot mamas dancing, oh lord, in a club
I just came to rock on out, to escape from the world
Watching the world (watching the world)
Watching them all go insane
Look at 'em all (look at 'em all)
Look at 'em do evil things
So I go out and dance
Party my problems away
Look at me now
Look at me dancing again
In a club nothing really matters
In a club nothing really matters
In a club nothing really matters
In a club nothing really matters
Drop the beat
In a club
Feeling like a star when I walk in the house
DJ spun that record and he burned down the house
Just like MC Hammer I’ma turn the motha out
I’ma rock the dance floor, check me out
I came here with my people, we gon’ fuck up the place
I was stressed out, so I had to get away
The world is going mad, I think they gon' crazy
So I just gotta break on out
In a club nothing really matters
In a club nothing really matters
In a club nothing really matters
In a club nothing really matters
Drop the beat
Drop the beat
Drop the beat
Drop the beat
Drop the beat

Line by Line Meaning
Watching the world
Observing the state of the world
Watching them all go insane
Witnessing people losing their minds
Look at 'em all
Seeing everyone around me
Look at 'em do evil things
Noting the wicked actions of people
So I go out and dance
I choose to go out and party
Party my problems away
Using clubbing to escape my issues
Look at me now (look at me now)
See how I am right now
Look at me dancing again
I'm back to dancing
In a club nothing really matters
In a nightclub, worries and troubles cease to be significant
Drop the beat
Start of an intense musical sequence
I rock club life, come out at night
I own this clubbing lifestyle, I only surface at night
Shot til daylight, hot models my type
Drinking and socializing until sunrise with attractive people
Let’s go, take flight, explode dynamite
Move together, fly high, and make an impact
Disco black light
Fluorescent lighting sets the mood
Party people rocking hardcore in a club
Crowd at a nightclub dancing energetically
DJ rock the fucking dance floor in a club
The DJ is driving the dancers wild
Hot mamas dancing, oh lord, in a club
Women are dancing sensually to the music
I just came to rock on out, to escape from the world
I'm here to dance and forget about problems
Feeling like a star when I walk in the house
I have a sense of importance when I enter the venue
DJ spun that record and he burned down the house
The DJ played an excellent song that captivated the crowd
Just like MC Hammer I’ma turn the motha out
I'll energize everyone just like MC Hammer did
I’ma rock the dance floor, check me out
I'm going to showcase my dancing skills
I came here with my people, we gon’ fuck up the place
I'm here with my friends, we'll enjoy and make a major impact
I was stressed out, so I had to get away
I needed to take a break from my anxieties
The world is going mad, I think they gon' crazy
The world is getting crazier, which concerns me
So I just gotta break on out
I need an escape from the rapidly changing world
