Nothing Out Of Me
Lennon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I fucked you once,
Would that keep you in your place?
I would give up my freedom to, run away
Can you stand, too far enough to be,
The warmest feeling inside me

If I had a voice, I'd speak
If I knew the truth I'd leave
Believe the lies of me
To make nothing out of me
And there's a voice to speak
And there is truth to believe
Believe the lies of me
To make nothing out of me

If I had a moment, a reason to live
And a day that doesn't end with deceit
Could you be the same as to help me rise
Instead of bringing me down to your feet

If I had a voice, I'd speak
If I knew the truth I'd leave
Believe the lies of me
To make nothing out of me
And there's a voice to speak
And there is truth to believe
Believe the lies of me
To make nothing out of me

That wall falls down
It's spinning from top to ground
And piece by piece I find what I was about
That wall falls down
From top to ground
And piece by piece I discover me

Is there a question I didn't ask
An answer you didn't give
Could that be all I have left
No reason to live
This one's the year
To make my lies
You left first when I fell from their eyes

If I had a voice, I'd speak
If I knew the truth I'd leave
Believe the lies of me
To make nothing out of me
And there's a voice to speak
And there is truth to believe
Believe the lies of me




To make nothing out of me
Nothing out of me

Overall Meaning

The song "Nothing Out of Me" by Lennon is a reflective piece about the singer's struggles with self-worth and the desire to be accepted by others. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability as Lennon questions whether he is enough for the person he is singing to. The opening lines, "If I fucked you once, Would that keep you in your place? I would give up my freedom to run away," suggest that he is willing to compromise his own desires and needs to please someone else. This is further emphasized in the lyrics "Believe the lies of me to make nothing out of me," which suggest that he is willing to alter his behavior or personality to please someone else so that he is insignificant in their eyes.


However, there is also a sense of defiance in the song. Lennon questions whether he is "the same to help me rise instead of bringing me down to your feet," implying that he refuses to be controlled by someone else. The lyrics "and piece by piece I discover me" imply that he is on a journey of self-discovery and is learning that he is worth more than the way others treat him. The ending of the song gives the impression that he has broken free from the chains of feeling inadequate and is learning to embrace his true self ("that wall falls down from top to ground and piece by piece I discover me").


Overall, "Nothing Out of Me" is a song about the struggle for self-acceptance and the desire to be loved for who we truly are. It communicates the feeling of being lost and unsure of one's place in the world but also suggests that there is hope for those who are willing to embark on a journey of self-discovery.
