Nosferatu
Nora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go about your buisiness
Go about your buisiness
There's a storm coming, lock up your windows
There is nothing to see here
There is nothing to love here
Go about your buisiness
There is nothing to see here
There is nothing to love here
There's a storm coming
Go about your buisiness
Lock your windows and bolt your doors
There's a storm coming
You'll see
Give it a second and you'll see everything
There's nothing to see
Daydreaming of insomnia
I've been falling asleep at the wheel
Have you been watching?
Cause I've been waiting
I'm never going to be able to finish this tonight
I never want to see the sun come up
There's a war coming and we're all out of heart
My mind won't stop
I didn't save a thing
There's a war coming




We're not ready for the last dance
And I didn't save anything for this dance.

There is a sense of anticipation, as though the singer is waiting for something to happen, but also a sense of resignation, as though they are powerless to stop it. The line "I'm never going to be able to finish this tonight" suggests a lack of agency or control, while the line "I never want to see the sun come up" suggests a desire to avoid whatever is to come.


The final stanza introduces the image of a war, as though the storm is a metaphor for something larger and more destructive. The line "we're all out of heart" suggests a lack of courage or bravery in the face of this war, while the lines "we're not ready for the last dance" and "I didn't save anything for this dance" suggest a sense of regret or missed opportunity.

Have you noticed what has been happening around you?

A massive conflict is approaching


We're not ready for the last dance
We are not prepared for the final event


And I didn't save anything for this dance.
I failed to prepare myself for the final event
