Nothing Really Matters
Harry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Educated strippers and cross-dressing vicars
Disgusting politicians and animal petitions
X-rated kid shows and dangerous liaisons
Murder mum & dad, the whole family!!

Nothing Really Matters
Anyone can see
Nothing Really Matters to me

Drunk on ego & high on cocaine
Driving really fast with nothing much to say You like to sleep with Barbie , she never talks back
You like to slap her liposuction thighs

Nothing Really Matters
Anyone can see
Nothing Really Matters to me

Incestuous, infectious and totally dependent
You make me sick you make my blood thick Incestuous, infectious and totally dependent
You make me sick you make my blood thick Incestuous, infectious and totally dependent
You make me sick you make my blood thick Incestuous, infectious and totally dependent
You make me sick you make my blood thick

Nothing Really Matters




Anyone can see
Nothing Really Matters to me.

Overall Meaning

The song "Nothing Really Matters" by Harry is a satirical take on the state of contemporary culture and society. In the first verse of the song, Harry describes a world where even the most respectable professions have lost their dignity. Educated strippers and cross-dressing vicars symbolize the hypocrisy of religion and education. Disgusting politicians and animal petitions symbolize the moral decay of politics where lobby groups are more powerful than the people they represent. X-rated kid shows and dangerous liaisons reflect the moral relativism that has infiltrated modern popular culture. The final line in the verse, "Murder mum & dad, the whole family!!" is perhaps the most provocative and unsettling statement of all. It suggests a society where even the most fundamental values of family and love have been corrupted.


In the chorus, Harry distills this sentiment down to its essence. "Nothing really matters, anyone can see, nothing really matters to me" expresses his disillusionment with a world that has lost its morality, values, and purpose. The second verse of the song is more straightforward, focusing on the destructive behavior of the rich and famous. Harry describes people who are "drunk on ego & high on cocaine" driving recklessly with "nothing much to say." The line "you like to sleep with Barbie, she never talks back" is a reference to the objectification of women in popular culture. The final lines of the song repeat the chorus, emphasizing the futility of it all.


Overall, "Nothing Really Matters" is a powerful indictment of modern society. Harry's lyrics are acerbic, unflinching, and often shocking, but they are also a reminder that we should never lose sight of what really matters.
