1) Nihil (Nikola Stanoj… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band using this name:
1) Nihil (Nikola Stanojević, 1991.) se smatra perjanicom srpske neo-acid trep scene. Iako trajno nastanjen u Beogradu, ostaje dosledan 035 lokalpatriotizamu kako autentičnim kosovsko-resavskiom akcentom tako i liričkim narativom na kom inicijalno i počiva čitav Zicer Inc. kolekiv čiji je suosnivač. Pored kantautorskog rada, Nihil potpisuje brojne numere Tam, Bejbi Motorole, Jymenik i drugih kao testopisac, aranžer i producent. Pored referenci iz pop kulture, Nihilove numere su primarno obojene sumornim osećajem beznađa i propratnog sarkazma za šta je zaslužan snažan uticaj metala kroz njegovo odrastanje i muzičko sazrevanje. Iza sebe ima dva albuma: Satan Resavski (2020) i Šaman Resavski (2022) kao i brojna učešća na projekcima Zicer kolektiva i drugih bliskih muzičkih istomišljenika. Nikola Stanojević stoji i iza pseudonijuma Sheytan Yamaha sa kojim primarno nastupa kao DJ, ali i kao producent kompozicija koje stilski naginju elektronici.

Fragile
Nihil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Nihil's song Fragile convey a sense of emptiness and disillusionment resulting from being let down by someone the singer trusted. The opening line "I've got no other choice" suggests a feeling of helplessness and resignation to the situation at hand. The following lines "you left me here lost/You deprived me of everything" indicate that the betrayal was significant enough to leave the singer feeling alone and without any support.
The next lines "Humiliated and mutilated/ (all) that means nothing to me" indicate that the betrayal was particularly hurtful, but the singer has managed to detach themselves emotionally from the experience. This detachment is reinforced by the refrain "SOMEBODY TOLD ME TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING/BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT NOW" which suggests that the singer has lost faith in anything positive or worthwhile.
Despite the pain and emptiness conveyed in the lyrics, the lines "But my life stays a delight/and my dirty body too/And nothing will affect me now" suggest a resilience that is both surprising and admirable. This resilience is further underscored by the lines "I've been trying/to be up to it" which indicates that the singer is still striving to be better, despite their disillusionment.
Line by Line Meaning
I've got no other choice
I have no alternative
you left me here lost
you abandoned me in a state of confusion
You deprived me of everything
You took everything from me
(but) it doesn't matter
but it has no significance
Humiliated and mutilated
Shamed and physically damaged
(all) that means nothing to me
It holds no value to me
(because) SOMEBODY TOLD ME TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING
Because I was urged by someone to have faith in something
BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT NOW
But I can't recall what that was
And you led me astray
You misled me
in a storm of grief
in a state of sorrow
Full of anger full of pain
Filled with fury and agony
and now I feel so empty
And now I feel devoid of emotion
But my life stays a delight
But my existence remains pleasant
and my dirty body too
And my contaminated body is unchanged
And nothing will affect me now
And now nothing can influence me
(because) SOMEBODY TOLD ME TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING
Because I was urged by someone to have faith in something
BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT NOW
But I can't recall what that was
SOMEBODY URGED ME TO BE SOMETHING
Someone encouraged me to become something
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS
But I don't comprehend what that signifies
I've been trying
I've been endeavoring
to be up to it...
to measure up to it
(because) SOMEBODY TOLD ME TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING
Because I was urged by someone to have faith in something
BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT NOW
But I can't recall what that was
I'M SO HAPPY
I am very joyous
AS GOOD BOYS CAN BE
As a well-behaved child would be
BUT THAT MEANS NOTHING TO ME...
But it holds no significance to me
