Nothing
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even words of sympathy mean nothing
I'm feeling down, and I hate the sound of nothing
What's the point in hanging around for nothing?
[Chorus]
And I can't remember falling in love with you
This is agony
and you know you're putting me through this is misery
Taking every memory
Just tell me why this misery won't go away
How can we carry on this way?
I find it hard to hold a conversation
I'm being with this just in aggravation
I can stay, but I haven't got the patience
I'm sick of pathetic explanations
[Chorus]
That's why I forgot I'm falling in love with you
This is agony,
and you know you're putting me through this misery
Taking every memory
Just tell me why this misery won't go away
How can we carry on this way?
You'll never bring me down
'cause I'm so far above you
You think you're strong
But you're nothing to now
And I hope you will be happy
This time around
[Chorus]
And I can't remember falling in love with you
This is agony
Do you know you're putting me through, oh, this misery
Taking every memory
Just tell me this misery won't go away
How can we carry on this way?
Yeah
The lyrics to McFly's song "Nothing" are about a relationship that has lost its spark and meaning. The singer is in a state of emotional emptiness, where even the sympathetic and kind words from the partner mean nothing to him. He is feeling down and hates the sound of nothing, and wonders why he should continue to hang around when there is nothing left to hold onto. The chorus reveals that the singer cannot remember falling in love with the partner, and he is experiencing agony and misery. He questions why this misery won't go away and how they can carry on this way.
The second verse describes how the singer finds it difficult to hold a conversation with the partner, and he is constantly aggravated and impatient. He is sick of the excuses and explanations for their relationship's problems. The final verse shows a shift in power, where the singer feels he is above the partner and hopes they will be happy in the future, without him.
The song is a heartfelt account of a relationship that has lost its passion and meaning. It speaks to feelings of hopelessness and emotional detachment in a relationship, and the search for answers to why things have gone wrong.
