Anything Or Nothing
Harmful Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You might think you can feel
Someone take me far from here
You're not able to understand
There's no chance to reveal

Had your last pointless teardrop
Washed down in a broken cup
I'm waiting for the mountain high to multiply

Try to help me if you can
I forgot my attention span
I don't believe in majesty
It's my way to prevail

I love the way you breathe
I count the seconds till we meet again
But I can't bring myself to think
So get out of the ring again
Anything or nothing will end

Living life day by day
Trying to find my own way
There's no more skin to authorize
Burnt down to bite size

Party is over, time is up
One where I finally woke up
Well, what you thought to know is sold
Like fools gold

I love the way you breathe
I count the seconds till we meet again
But I can't bring myself to think
So get out of the ring again

I can't believe, I'll never believe
Anything or nothing will end
I can't believe, I'll never believe
Anything or nothing will end

Anything or nothing will end
Anything or nothing will end
Anything or nothing will end
Anything and nothing will end

You might think you can feel
Someone take me far from here
You're not able to understand
There's no chance to reveal

I love the way you breathe
I count the seconds till we meet again
But I can't bring myself to think

So get out of the ring again
Anything or nothing will end, anything or nothing will end

Line by Line Meaning

You might think you can feel
It is possible to mistake what one feels

Someone take me far from here
Desire to escape from current situation

You're not able to understand
Lack of ability to comprehend

There's no chance to reveal
Situation can't be shared or explained

Had your last pointless teardrop
Crying is pointless

Washed down in a broken cup
Narrating how tears are easily forgotten

I'm waiting for the mountain high to multiply
Expecting something big to happen in future

Try to help me if you can
Giving insight to being in need of help

I forgot my attention span
Being easily distracted

I don't believe in majesty
Not believing in a higher power

It's my way to prevail
Having control over one's future
