All About Nothing
Fastbacks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So near and yet so far from here.
All about nothing I fear.
This is where the answer should be coming clear.
All about nothing I fear.
The lyrics of Fastbacks' song "All About Nothing" speak of the confusion and uncertainty that arises when we are caught between two opposing forces. The first line sets the scene of being in close proximity to something or someone, yet feeling distant from them at the same time. The repetition of "so far and near" emphasizes this mental and emotional tug-of-war, leaving the listener in a state of ambiguity.
The second line, "All about nothing I fear," hints at the idea that the situation may not warrant the amount of anxiety it is causing. We are left wondering if the internal conflict is worth the struggle, or if it's all for nothing. The third line, "This is where the answer should be coming clear," suggests that there is a solution to the problem at hand, but it has not revealed itself yet.
The final line, "All about nothing I fear," is repeated again and acts as a bookend to the lyrics, emphasizing the idea of a non-issue being blown out of proportion. Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of internal turmoil and confusion, leaving us with more questions than answers.
