Nothing To Say
M Shadows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well what a price to pay
Fear can be overstated,
and you seem infatuated
with finding who's to blame.
While it can seem so hard now,
I got a feeling we ain't meant to live this way.
Don't tell me it's too late,
cause I feel it too, we all love to hate
and let others lead the way.
Some searching to find
That love (life?) with a new piece of mind.
And still we push further away,
Singing our songs of yesterday.
While so much still stands in our way,
Voices with nothing to say.
Some feel that life's a favor,
While some don't have the time.
Wash up and kiss the alter,
All hail the mighty father,
but love will keep you blind.
Same questions we keep asking,
Won't hear the answers cause we're scared of what we'll find
We try and compensate through our troubled faith that should keep us safe
and keep searching for a sign.
Some searching to find
That love (life?) with a new piece of mind.
And still still we march further away,
Singing our songs of yesterday.
While so much still stands in our way,
Voices with nothing to say.
There wont be another day, the (no?) changing of the seasons,
And no one's gonna save us from the lies.
The greatest story ever told,
Is only what you make it.
There will be struggle and fear,
All by design
And still we march further away (We've been so logicated)
Singing our songs of yesterday (Nothing's got all the point, the blame?)
While so much still stands in our way (Yeahhhh!)
Voices with nothing to say
The lyrics of the song Nothing to Say by M Shadows centers around the idea that we are all searching for something in life, but we're not always sure what it is. The opening lyrics convey a sense of being lost and disillusioned. There is a certain price to be paid for feeling this way, and it seems that fear may be overstated. The lyrics go on to suggest that we are often preoccupied with finding someone to blame for our problems.
The chorus talks about the dilemma of loving to hate and allowing others to lead the way. The search for love and a new peace of mind is a constant struggle, as we continue to push ourselves further away from the truth. This is reflected in the idea that we sing songs of yesterday while there is so much that still stands in our way. The voices in the song have nothing to say, which can be seen as a metaphor for the human condition of searching but never finding what we are looking for.
The verses of the song delve deeper into the themes of fear and faith. We are often afraid of what we will find if we look too closely at the questions that we are asking. However, we continue to search for answers, even if they are elusive. The idea of the struggle and fear being all by design suggests that there is a certain inevitability about our search, a sense that we cannot help but to keep looking for something more.

@Aiden0364
Why did it take me 11 years to find this song. It’s so perfect.
@MrSuicidebassist
This is a badass album
@omarmahfouz5599
Same here, that solo was immaculate
@chronicdisease1722
5 years ago, when Jason Paradise uploaded this.
@TMKCreationsOfficial
Me too
@franciscs1604
Too bad I can’t listen to the whole album on the Music App…
@MagicMagikarp1
This song should have featured synister gates. Hearing slash and syn duel guitars on a song would be the pinnacle of rock music
@willkoestner242
Agreed. I have a hard time listening to a7x without considering the gnr influence. It'd be nice to see it come full circle
@Bloorgusgoorge
But. A7x is metal
@JoseCruz-dk3fi
The world isn't ready for such epiness
