Nothing Else Matters
Lissie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more form the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more form the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
And never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

Yeah, yeah

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more form the heart




Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Overall Meaning

Lissie's version of "Nothing Else Matters" is a haunting and beautiful ballad that speaks of trust, connection, and authenticity. The song opens up with the lines "So close no matter how far, Couldn't be much more from the heart, Forever trusting who we are, And nothing else matters." These lines speak to the deep sense of trust and connection the singer shares with someone close to them. They trust this person implicitly and nothing else matters because they are so close to them.


The next few lines indicate that the singer has never opened themselves up to someone in this way before. They are living their life on their own terms and are speaking their truth. They are not afraid to let their authentic self shine through. The chorus repeats the same lines as before, focusing on the deep trust and connection the singer shares with this person.


The rest of the song speaks to the singer's disregard for the opinions of others. They don't care what others do, say, or know. They are secure in their connection with this person and don't need validation or approval from anyone else. This song speaks to the deep human need for connection and trust, and how that need can be met with just one other person.
