NO WAY
Naked Famous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you feel it?
Leave your bag of bones
Underneath your bed
Everything is as
It should be
I'm leaving now
As I should be
No way, no way
No we're never gonna talk about it
No way, no way
No we're never gonna speak again
No way, no way
No we're never gonna talk about it
No way, no way
When the night descends
I sleep in
All the things you've done
Come to hold me
All that we can do
Is smile
It would be like this
For a while
No way, no way
No we're never gonna talk about it
No way, no way
No we're never gonna speak again
No way, no way
No we're never gonna talk about it
No way, no way
I'm not sad, really
All this means, losing
Letting go, oo-oo
Don't look out, oo-oo
No way, no way, no way
The song "No Way" by The Naked and Famous showcases the classic theme of dealing with the aftermath of a breakup. The song starts with a question directed at the listener, inquiring whether they feel the daylight when it comes. The use of daylight in this case represents a new beginning and the opportunity to move on. The singer then urges the listener to leave their "bag of bones," or their emotional baggage, under their bed, and embrace the new beginning that comes with daylight.
The chorus of the song features the repeated assertion "No way, no way," which seems to suggest that the singer is reluctant to talk or think about the relationship that ended. This theme is repeated throughout the song, the singer expressing the sentiment that there is no point in dwelling on the past, and that they are not sad, just accepting the loss that comes with "letting go."
The second verse talks about the long nights that follow a breakup. The singer struggles with the emotions and the memories that remind them of the ex-partner. The memory of past hurtful events resurfaces, but they manage to come to a realization that all they can do is smile through the pain, acknowledging that the hurt will be temporary.

When the daylight comes
As the sun rises and day begins
Do you feel it?
Do you experience the start of a new day?
Leave your bag of bones
Leave behind all that you are and all that you have
Underneath your bed
Put it away and forget about it
Everything is as
Things are fine and acceptable
It should be
Just as it is meant to be
I'm leaving now
I'm going away
As I should be
As I am meant to do
No way, no way
Absolutely not
No we're never gonna talk about it
We will never discuss this matter
No way, no way

When the night descends
As the sun sets and night falls
I sleep in
I rest
All the things you've done
All of the actions you have taken
Come to hold me
Affect me and weigh upon me
All that we can do
The only thing we can do
Is smile
Is remain outwardly content
It would be like this
Things will continue like this
For a while
For a duration of time
I'm not sad, really
I don't feel sadness, truly
All this means, losing
This means letting go
Letting go, oo-oo
Releasing that which must be freed
Don't look out, oo-oo
Don't gaze outward
No way, no way, no way
Absolutely not

As a rock listener for the most part, I recommend this album. Some parts sound like "Radiohead", others reminds of M83, or even Roxette. It may not be so original in its sound, but it is authentic and flawless.

Mere words cannot express my sheer, unadulterated love for this band.

This song makes me feel sad and happy at the same time. It does no matter how many years have passed since the first time I listened to it. I just love it! Thanks T/N/A/F

This is still their very best song ("Young Blood" is amazing don't get me wrong but "No Way" is a masterpiece). I actually found myself terrified of the loud parts the first times I heard it but since then it grew on me and it now has a very special place in my heart. Although the second album is great, and the third is good too, none of them has the brilliance this song and this album has. "Passive Me Aggressive You" is mindnumbingly good, and the feelings this song and others give you are just sublime... This should really be the credit titles of a movie or something. The video is also breathtaking and mysterious and emotional, and I like the fact there's no clear storyline beside a bride, a ninja, and a black power-ranger (or more than one of each) running around and random stuff blowing up constantly.

The last minute of the song never fails to give me chills

This is THE song I listen to, every single time I drive to the slopes. Can't erase the memory of wind gushing on your face, as you power down the endless slopes, being utterly, completely free. As though nothing else matters. Time stands still. Ah, snowboarding. :'-)

I saw them open for Imagine Dragons a couple year back, and The Naked and Famous out-shined the headliner and I've been a huge fan ever since
