All for Nothing
Dead Wrong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said that you would be there for me, when it took a fall All my dreams, torn away, I can't fight another day Everytime I pick myself up, you're always there to shove me down An empty hand, an empty promise, I have nothing left inside The shell of a man, I used to be Only darkness, brings peace Lost it all, I am beaten down , I have no will left Fuck the world, I'm born to lose, I have nothing left to give This world turned it's back on me, Turned it's back on me again. How much more can I fuckin take, I have nothing left to give Should have known, all along, that my life would fall apart

The lines "Every time I pick myself up, you're always there to shove me down," and "An empty hand, an empty promise, I have nothing left inside," paint a picture of someone who has been repeatedly let down and has lost all hope.


The chorus is a lament of the singer's situation. They feel as though they are at the end of their rope and have nothing left to give. The line "Fuck the world, I'm born to lose, I have nothing left to give" is particularly telling. This person has given up on themselves and the world around them. They feel as though they have been dealt a cruel hand and that they will never overcome their circumstances. The song is a powerful expression of the pain and frustration of feeling betrayed and alone in the world.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and despair. The singer has lost everything, and the person they relied on for support has abandoned them.
