Nothing Left To Lose
Jake Nauta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way I'm feeling tonight.
I can't hold it in, gotta let it out.
I'm burden my mind.
Cause I've tried ordinary, I've tried everything.
Now I come with nothing in my hands, now there's nothing left to lose...
Gotta give this up, don't wanna spend my time...
just waaiiiting for the daaay.
This life of mine, wanna get it right.
- For you, starting tonight.
I've tried ordinary, I've tried everything.
Now I come with nothing in my hands, if I'm broken you could heal me, your love make me whole, there's something that's real, there's something that's good.
Now there's nothing left to lose...
there's nothing left to lose...
looooose ...
Oooh...
tooo loooose.
Now there's nothing left to lose...
there's nothing left to lose...
looooose ...
Oooh...
tooo loooose.
Cause what you've done is opened up my eyes, and all I see is see your blue skies.
Yes I can ...
see it.
I know it's true, I once was lost, but now am found, I once was lost, but now am found in you...
So don't do ordinary 'cause there's nothing left to lose, there's nothing left to lose, one day I was lost, but now I'm found in you.
The lyrics of Jake Nauta's song, "Nothing Left to Lose," indicate a moment of realization, a moment of reaching rock bottom, and a moment of letting go. The singer declares that this feeling won't fade away, and they refuse to change their mind. They're carrying a heavy burden that they can't hold in any longer, and at this point, trying the ordinary and everything didn't work out. Thus, they come to the conclusion that there is nothing left to lose. Consequently, they decide to give up the things that they once held on to and start afresh.
The singer expresses that they don't want to wait anymore, they don't want to spend their time merely chasing dreams. They want to do life right, and they want to do it with their significant other. They acknowledge that they once were lost, trying to make sense of everything. They also assert that the love of their partner has opened their eyes and showed them the way. They're now focused on the good, the real, and what's essential in life. Consequently, they're not going to do ordinary anymore because there is nothing left to lose.
