Nothing Left to Lose
Heaven's Basement Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Better to be blind than to try and resist
Say your prayers and cease and desist, We all have secrets
Everyone nods, so what's the meaning in all this
We have a choice to live and to exist
You are mark, take it again this
We don't have regrets
I know how it feels to have nothing left to lose
To burn it all, and be left alone in silence
How it feels with the anger and the rage
Get out, get out, get out, we are defiance
Pushed close to the edge , I can't go any further
Tear me apart with mechanical murder
Ignorant bliss in a time of disorder
God save some bastards
Nightmares come and I can't open my eyes
Running from the best, I know that I can't hide
I get knocked down shout up to the sky
I've got no regrets
I know how it feels to have nothing left to lose
To burn it all, and be left alone in silence
How it feels with the anger and the rage
Get out, get out, get out, we are defiance
We don't belong here
The sound of a thousand vultures
Will drown us out and confiscate our bones
We stand alone
We don't belong here
The sound of a thousand vultures
Will drown us out, and confiscate our bones
We stand alone
We stand alone
We stand alone
I know how it feels to have nothing left to lose
To burn it all, and be left alone in silence
How it feels with the anger and the rage
Get out, get out, get out, we are defiance
I know how it feels to have nothing left to lose
To burn it all, and be left alone in silence
How it feels with the anger and the rage
Get out, get out, get out, we are defiance
Save up the world that we once knew
The lyrics of Heaven's Basement's song "Nothing Left to Lose" describe a state of being pushed to the limit, feeling that there is nothing left to lose. The first stanza sets the tone for the song, with the suggestion to cover one's eyes to avoid seeing the reality of a situation. Instead, it is better to be blind than to try and resist what is happening. The stanza ends with the reminder that everyone has secrets. The second stanza points out that despite what may be happening, people have a choice to live and exist. The phrase "You are mark, take it again this" is, perhaps, a reference to an individual or group's ability to make a mark or a difference in the world. The line "We don't have regrets" suggests that despite whatever may happen, those involved will not regret their actions.
The chorus describes the feeling of having nothing left to lose and the associated anger and rage. The phrase "get out, get out, get out, we are defiance" suggests that the subjects of the song are pushing back against what is happening to them, refusing to be beaten down. The third stanza describes feeling pushed to the edge, unable to continue. The line "Tear me apart with mechanical murder" suggests that whatever forces are acting against the song's subjects are cold and unfeeling. In the next two lines, the song suggests that people are living in a time of disorder, with many ignorant of what is happening. Despite this, the stanza ends with the line "God save some bastards," again pointing to the ability of individuals to make a difference.
The final stanza repeats the chorus, emphasizing the sense of defiance and the feeling of being alone against external forces. The final two lines, "We don't belong here...We stand alone," further drive home the idea that those involved are facing formidable odds.
Line by Line Meaning
Cover your eyes, you're not ready to see this
Close your eyes, you're not prepared to witness what's about to happen
Better to be blind than to try and resist
It's preferable to be oblivious than to put up a fight
Say your prayers and cease and desist, We all have secrets
Pray and stop, we all have secrets
Everyone nods, so what's the meaning in all this
Everyone agrees, but what's the significance?
We have a choice to live and to exist
We can either choose to live or just simply exist
You are mark, take it again this
You have a role, do it again
We don't have regrets
We don't regret anything
I know how it feels to have nothing left to lose
I'm familiar with the sensation of having nothing to lose
To burn it all, and be left alone in silence
To destroy everything and be in complete seclusion
How it feels with the anger and the rage
The feeling of anger and fury that accompanies these actions
Get out, get out, get out, we are defiance
Leave, leave, leave, we are rebellion
Pushed close to the edge , I can't go any further
Pushed to the brink, I am unable to go beyond this point
Tear me apart with mechanical murder
Kill me with a machine
Ignorant bliss in a time of disorder
Blissful ignorance in a time of chaos
God save some bastards
May God save some of us
Nightmares come and I can't open my eyes
Nightmares occur and I cannot bring myself to open my eyes
Running from the best, I know that I can't hide
Fleeing from the greatest danger, I know that I cannot conceal myself
I get knocked down shout up to the sky
After being knocked down, I scream out to the heavens
We don't belong here
We do not fit in here
The sound of a thousand vultures
The noise of a thousand vultures
Will drown us out and confiscate our bones
Will overpower us and take our remains
We stand alone
We stand by ourselves
Save up the world that we once knew
Remember the world that we used to know
