Something to Lose
Phedora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll have to learn how
to deal with all the songs that remind me of you
That remind me of you
Cause I can't reach you,
I've lost the scent, I've lost the trail, I've lost my mind,
The hunter needs to hunt

But in the end I'll be all right,
Just not today and not tonight
It's me you haunt, it's you I'll hunt

I wanted all I couldn't have,
Cause that would mean that I've got something to lose
Now I want more
Now I want more

And no one knows you
As well as I do even though we never speak
Though we never speak
Your shots have cushioned my face tonight
You're distant and yet close

But don't be scared of wolves my love,
Mine have starved eons ago
It's me you haunt, It's you I'll hunt

I wanted all I couldn't have,
Cause that would mean that I've got something to lose
Now I want more
Now I want more

Just what have you done,
Just what have you done,
Just what have you done to me?
Our eyes never met,
Our paths never crossed,
Just what have you done to me?

Just what have you done,
Just what have you done,
Just what have you done,
Just what have you done,
Just what have you done,
Just what have you done,

I wanted all I couldn't have,
Cause that would mean that I've got something to lose
Now I want more
Now I want more

Just what have you done to me
Just what have you done to me
Just what have you done,




Just what have you done,
Just what have you done to me

Overall Meaning

The song "Something to Lose" by Phedora seems to be about a relationship that has ended but the singer is struggling to let go of. The lyrics suggest that the person being sung about has left an indelible mark on the singer and they are having a difficult time moving on. The lyrics also seem to suggest that the person being sung about is not interested in the singer anymore, yet they still seem to be keeping tabs on them i.e. "Your shots have cushioned my face tonight". The lyrics suggest that the singer was in love with the person being sung about but couldn't have them, and now that they are gone, they want them even more.


The singer repeats the phrase "Just what have you done to me" several times, which suggests that they are questioning the lingering impact the person has on them. They seem to be in a state of confusion, unable to understand how they got caught up in this situation, and unable to move on from it.


Overall, the song seems to be an emotional and raw expression of the pain of being left behind after a relationship you couldn't have, but wanted badly.
