Nomy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take your life, take your life with cocaine
But I am who I am
So I do what I can, when I can
But I can't really do a damn thing
So fine this day
All your problems has gone away
All your problems are back to stay
Your life, a game
Turn it up, turn it up with cocaine
And everytime that you live is a time when you feel
And the only time you heal
Tell me what it is
And it would never be like this
A problem that we have in common
Baby tell me what it is
It probably doesn't mean a piss
Yeah rip my heart apart
Now it's too late, too late to live
Only heaven loves you now
So love it back for once
Just once
Now it's too late, too late to live
And my conscience killing me
So am I alive
But I'm not free
And for all of you that can relate to this too
And for all of you that can relate to this too
White snow
I know
You're on a place where I just can't go
But I hope you do remember
Your snow doesn't warm you in december
You are in pain
Take your life, take your life with cocaine
But I am who I am
So I do what I can, when I can
But I can't really do a damn thing
Now it's too late, too late to live
Only heaven loves you now
So love it back for once
Just once
Now it's too late, too late to live
And my conscience killing me
So am I alive
But I'm not free
And for all of you that can relate to this too
And for all of you that can relate to this too
Tell me what it is
And it would never be like this
A problem that we have in common
Baby tell me what it is
It probably doesn't mean a piss
Yeah rip my heart apart
You are in pain
Take your life, take your life with cocaine
But I am who I am
So I do what I can, when I can
But I can't really do a damn thing
Now it's too late, too late to live
Only heaven loves you now
So love it back for once
Just once
Now it's too late, too late to live
And my conscience killing me
So am I alive
But I'm not free
And for all of you that can relate to this too
And for all of you that can relate to this too
Now it's too late(x13)
The lyrics of Nomy's Cocaine depict the anguish and hopelessness of addiction. The song talks about the temporary relief that cocaine brings to people in pain while ultimately leading to destruction. The opening lines, "You are in pain, take your life, take your life with cocaine" shows the desperation and the extent to which people may go to escape their troubles. The artist, in the first person, acknowledges that he is unable to help the people who are struggling with addiction but can only do what he can, when he can.
The lyrics also touch on the fleeting nature of happiness that comes with addiction. "So fine this day, all your problems have gone away, but tomorrow when you wake up, all your problems are back to stay." This highlights how drug addiction provides a temporary escape but ultimately compounds the issues that preceded it. The chorus, "Now it's too late, too late to live, only heaven loves you now," conveys the idea that cocaine addiction leads to death, and the only salvation that remains is heaven.
Towards the end, the artist seems to be addressing the listeners as fellow addicts and asking them to open up about their troubles. He says, "tell me what it is, and it would never be like this, a problem that we have in common, baby tell me what it is," and finally concludes, "and for all of you that can relate to this too." Through these lines, the artist suggests that the only way to combat addiction is by sharing experiences and fighting it together.
