No Way
Nicotine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No way!
Blood in my hands
Confused in my head
That was a nightmare
I got a shitty pain
I was caught in a rain
I was in my bed
It was out of control

Of my body

I think I have a disease
An illusion is now in my eyes

No way!
Blood in my vein
Made me lose my head
That was a nightmare
I got a shitty pain
Deep in my brain
I was in your bed
It was out of control
Of my body

I think I have a disease
An illusion is now in my eyes

My body was stolen
By the unknown strangers

I just wanna hold on
I just wanna hold myself

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nicotine's "No Way" are evocative of a nightmare, a state of confusion and disorientation. The singer describes feeling like they have lost control of their body, experiencing pain and illusion. The repetition of the phrase "no way" underscores the sense of disbelief and shock at what is happening.

The mention of "blood in my hands" and "blood in my vein" suggests a sense of danger or violence. This, combined with the mention of feeling like their body was stolen by unknown strangers, creates a sense of vulnerability and powerlessness. The theme of loss of agency is further reinforced by the repeated line "it was out of control of my body."

The final lines of the song, "I just wanna hold on / I just wanna hold myself," suggest a desire for stability and self-possession in the midst of chaos. The song overall offers a hauntingly intense and visceral portrait of a nightmare experience.
