Formed around the talents of longtime friends Jonny Hawkins, Daniel Oliver, Mark Vollelunga, and Ben Anderson, the band spent years honing their sound and skills, and sharpening their worldview on the road, adopting a strict D.I.Y. ethic and issuing their music independently. In 2013 they inked a deal with the Eleven Seven Label Group, the home of acts like Five Finger Death Punch, Sixx:A.M..[\artist], Papa Roach, and HELLYEAH and released their eponymous debut for the label, along with the fiery first single "This Is the Time (Ballast)," the following year. It proved to be a breakout release for the veteran band, charting well and introducing them to a much wider audience. Led by the single "Go to War," Nothing More returned with their follow-up, The Stories We Tell Ourselves in September 2017.

SUNSET
Nothing More Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Bags packed and a tank of gas

Don't know where we're going til we drive past

Time on our hands, no need to drive fast

She's fast asleep in the backseat

He's reading up on history

It's just you and me, and chemistry

At sunset we'll drive west

Driving 55 toward the city lights

Only miles will pass us by

At sunset we'll drive west

Going 55, yeah we'll drive all night

We'll see the sea at sunrise

Daydreams of love and life

Embracing both as we pass them by

These desert skies, the color of our lives

Everything we need surrounds us

Whispers on the wind, the sun's kiss

And our love affair with the frivolous

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nothing More's song "Sunset" paint a picture of a couple who have packed their bags, fueled up their car, and hit the open road with no particular destination in mind. They seem to be reveling in their freedom and the possibilities that lie ahead. The pace is slow, and there's no need to rush. The woman is sleeping in the backseat, while the man is engrossed in a book about history. The only thing that matters at the moment is the chemistry between them, which is palpable.

As they drive into the sunset, they head west toward the city lights, but there's no hurry. They're content to let the miles pass by as they enjoy each other's company. They're in no rush to arrive at their destination. They'll drive at a leisurely pace all night, soaking in the sights and sounds of the world around them. When they reach their destination, they'll watch the sun rise over the sea, contemplating their daydreams about love and life.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who have found each other and the world around them. They're traveling in a world that is full of hope, potential, and love. The song is a reminder that sometimes it's the journey, not the destination, that matters.
