Nothing At All
My Former Self Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to cross out my mistakes
Everythings gone bad now
What left to write about?
So why should I pretend?
Bursting with the evergy I send
Across to a lonely heart like mine
It all feels like
Standing alone in a crowded room
I think I found myself
I think I found my self-worth
Is worth nothing at all
Worth nothing at all
This time im... I'm calling
For a sign from you
I'm ripping at my throat
I want to cross out my mistakes
Everythings gone bad now
What left to write about?
So why should I pretend?
Bursting with the evergy I send
Across to a lonely heart like mine
This time I'm calling for a sign
It all feels like
Standing alone in a crowded room
I think I found myself
I think I found my self-worth
Is worth nothing at all
Worth nothing at all
So why should I pretend?
Bursting with the evergy I send
Across to a lonely heart like mine
And everythings gone bad
Everythings gone bad with you
The lyrics above are from My Former Self's song "Nothing At All". They speak of a feeling of hopelessness and despair, as if the singer has lost their way in life and everything they once found important has ceased to matter. The repetition of "ripping at my throat" and "what left to write about" suggests a frustration with one's own inability to express themselves or find meaning in their experiences. The singer feels alone, as if they are "standing alone in a crowded room", and is searching for a sign or some sort of validation from someone else.
