Nothing But You
Diplomatics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I still want to carry on, 'cause I know you'll never understand,
That the life you're living right now is only a cup of useless days.
You are the kind of person that really trusts this sick society
You're glad of the position you gained in the hierarchy of your company
You struggle every day to gain the money to buy a bigger car to drive back to your office.
Everyone of you needs to spit out their hate!
Can you describe what you feel when you're wasting your time?
But I need to carry on 'cause I'm sure you will not understand
That the life you're living right now, is not the one you wanted
'cause you are nothing!
You are nothing!
Yeah, you are nothing!
You are nothing!
Everyone of you needs someone to denigrate!
Everyone of you needs to spit out their hate!
The lyrics of Diplomatic's song "Nothing but You" convey a sense of frustration and disillusionment with society and the pursuit of material success.

They feel that the person they are addressing is wasting their time on meaningless pursuits, unable to grasp the true meaning or purpose of life.
The first verse indicates that despite the listener's lack of understanding, the singer is determined to carry on their own path. They believe that the listener's current lifestyle is futile and unfulfilling, likening it to a "cup of useless days."

The chorus delivers a straightforward message, asserting that the person being addressed is, ultimately, nothing. It implies that their pursuits and values are all superficial and empty. The final lines emphasize that everyone needs someone to belittle and express their hatred towards, highlighting the negativity inherent in the person's worldview.
