Nothing Left
NÉONHÈART Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll breathe while I'm on the ground
Make me where you want to be
I see it's more for you than me
Tell me how it's meant to be
Feel free, take everything you need
So easy for you to go to sleep
Close my heart so I can see
Forget temporarily
Fall ahead too rapidly
And it's too late to get back on my face
So don't tell me you won't blame it on me
I see it in your eyes
Love comes fast but it's so hard to keep
When you just have nothing left to give
Tell me how it's meant to be
Feel free, take everything you need
So easy for you to go to sleep
Maybe you feel the same as me
Close my heart so I can see
Forget temporarily
Fall ahead too rapidly
And it's too late to get back on my face
So don't tell me you won't blame it on me
I see it in your eyes
Love comes fast but it's so hard to keep
When you just have nothing left to give
So don't tell me you won't blame it on me
I see it in your eyes
Love comes fast but it's so hard to keep
When you just have nothing left to give
The lyrics of NÉONHÈART's song "Nothing Left" are about a person who is feeling unvalued and taken for granted in a relationship. The opening lines suggest that this person is being pushed down and exploited by their partner. Despite this, they acknowledge that they will continue to breathe and survive, even while on the ground. They go on to say that the relationship seems to be more important to the partner than it is to them.
The chorus then talks about the difficulty of maintaining love when one party feels like they have nothing left to give. The singer seems to be calling out their partner, asking them not to blame them for the failure of the relationship when it is clear that both parties are equally responsible.
The second verse talks about the singer's need to protect themselves by closing their hearts and forgetting temporarily, but also how their fall is inevitable and perhaps even out of their control.
Overall, the lyrics of "Nothing Left" are about the challenges of maintaining a healthy relationship when one partner feels undervalued and taken advantage of. The song captures the feeling of hopelessness that can come from a relationship that seems to be failing despite one's best efforts.
