Nobody
Expire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You call you me a friend
Forked tongue
Behind a smile
Now we all know
A Judas exposed
It was only a matter of time
Just a leech who tried to get my best
A last gasp before your final descent
Should've bit your tongue when you had the chance
Put out your hand
You call you me a friend
Forked tongue
Behind a smile
Now we all know
A Judas exposed
It was only a matter of time
No integrity
Riding coat tails
Made a name off the ones before
Lost focus
You walk alone
Just give it up
Nobody cares anymore
Nobody cares
No integrity
Riding coat tails
Made a name off the ones before
Lost focus
You fucking asshole
Just give it up
Nobody cares anymore
Nobody cares
The song "Nobody" by Expire is a punk rock track that is filled with venom and scorn. The lyrics are addressed to a person who has been exposed as deceitful and manipulative. The song is about betrayal, and how the actions of others can have a profound effect on us.
The song begins with the lines "You put out your hand, you call me friend, Forked tongue behind a smile." These lines are directed towards the person who has betrayed the singer. The use of the term "forked tongue" suggests that the betrayer is insincere and untrustworthy. The chorus of the song repeats the mantra "It was only a matter of time," which implies that the singer had always known that this betrayal was inevitable.
The second half of the song is even more caustic, as the singer condemns the betrayer for their lack of integrity and their attempts to ride the coattails of others. The lines "Lost focus, You fucking asshole, Just give it up, Nobody cares anymore" are particularly scathing. They suggest that the betrayer has lost all respect and is now a pariah.
Overall, "Nobody" is a song that channels the anger and frustration of being let down by someone who was supposed to be a friend. It is a punk rock anthem that speaks to everyone who has ever been betrayed.
