No One Else
Gaelle Buswel feat. David Quick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it covered me as night
Kept me and it sheltered me
And it squeezed me like a vice
But at least it held me
When no one else could
Pumped a vicious circle
It warmed me like a blanket
But I felt just like a whore
But at least it warmed me
When no one else could
And I couldn't open
Of my heart, I couldn't speak
It welcomed me with open arms
As a lover when you're weak
And no one here could understand
The reasons as half death
For they never tasted lips like yours
Or tasted of your breath
But at least you loved me
When no one could
No one else would
No one else should
No one else
No one else
I left a trail of demons
On a path of broken dreams
And I yelled up to the heavens
And the angels heard me scream
But at least they heard me
When no one else could
And when you look in the mirror
Tell me, who's face do you see?
Cause I know when I look at mine
It's your eyes staring back at me
And I know that you can't understand
The reasons as half death
For they never tasted lips like yours
Or tasted of your breath
But at least you loved me
The lyrics of Gaelle Buswel feat. David Quick's song, "No One Else," are a deeply personal reflection on a turbulent and difficult time in the artist's life. The song describes the experience of slipping into darkness and feeling isolated and alone, and finding solace and comfort in a destructive and unhealthy relationship. The lyrics also touch on themes of addiction, self-doubt, and the search for validation and approval.
The first verse describes the feeling of being enveloped by darkness and how it provided a sense of safety and comfort in a time of need. The second verse delves into the consequences of this comfort, as the singer falls into a cycle of self-destructive behavior and harmful thinking patterns. The chorus repeats the line "no one else could" to emphasize the all-encompassing nature of the darkness and the fact that no one else could provide the kind of comfort that was needed.
The second half of the song shifts focus to a particular person who was able to offer the singer some measure of love and understanding in a time when it was sorely needed. The bridge highlights the idea that this person may not fully understand the reasons behind the singer's struggles, but his love and support are enough to sustain her. The final verse acknowledges the hurt and damage that was wrought along the journey, but ultimately declares that love was found in the midst of it all.
Overall, "No One Else" is a powerful and emotional song about the struggle to find comfort and support in a world that can seem endlessly dark and isolating.

Slipped into a blackness
I fell into a dark state of mind
And it covered me as night
It engulfed me completely
Kept me and it sheltered me
It provided me with comfort and protection
And it squeezed me like a vice
It held onto me tightly
But at least it held me
It was better than being alone
When no one else could
When no one else was there for me
Pumped a vicious circle
I got caught up in a destructive pattern
And I thought I needed it more
I believed that I couldn't live without it
It warmed me like a blanket
It provided me with a false sense of security
But I felt just like a whore
But it made me feel cheap and used
But at least it warmed me
But it was better than feeling cold and alone
When no one else could
When no one else was there to comfort me
And I couldn't open
I couldn't express my feelings
Of my heart, I couldn't speak
I couldn't find the words to say what was in my heart
It welcomed me with open arms
It accepted me without judgment
As a lover when you're weak
Like a lover who embraces you in your vulnerability
And no one here could understand
No one else could relate to my situation
The reasons as half death
How close I came to losing everything
For they never tasted lips like yours
No one else ever had a connection like ours
Or tasted of your breath
Or understood me on such a deep level
But at least you loved me
But at least I had your love
When no one could
When no one else was capable of loving me
No one else would
Nobody else was willing to love me like you did
No one else should
Nobody else deserves my love like you do
No one else
No other person could compare to you
No one else
No other person could replace you
I left a trail of demons
I made mistakes that haunted me
On a path of broken dreams
I followed a path that led to shattered hopes
And I yelled up to the heavens
I cried out in agony
And the angels heard me scream
And it was as if someone above heard my pain
But at least they heard me
But it was better than being unheard and alone
When no one else could
When nobody else listened to my cries
And when you look in the mirror
When you reflect on yourself
Tell me, who's face do you see?
Do you see yourself or do you see me?
Cause I know when I look at mine
Because when I look at myself
It's your eyes staring back at me
I see the love and connection we had
And I know that you can't understand
I know that you can't fully grasp it
The reasons as half death
How close I came to losing everything
For they never tasted lips like yours
Nobody else experienced a love like we did
Or tasted of your breath
Nobody else knew me on such a deep level
But at least you loved me
But at least you were there for me
