Nothing To Lose
Precious Jewel Amor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A castaway, i might be in your eyes
You call me poor, but all i care
The smell of bread in my own paradise
You welcome me into your home
And treated me like i was your own
The peace that's finally in my soul
Around the people who i love
United with a bond of trust
Just staying here in my abode
I'm fine with who i am, i thought
You know what they say about a girl who has nothing to lose
(You know what they say about a girl who has nothing to lose)
The nation's getting so much bigger
I could be more, i finally realized
(The nation's getting so much bigger i could be more, I finally realized)
He offered me a higher power
A traitor as an angel in disguise
(He offered me a higher power a traitor as an angel in disguise)
You left me here, i'm all alone
Surviving while i'm on my own
The land i loved has lost its soul
The tyranny of those who won
They took away my liberty
And strangled me, i couldn't scream
I'm running far away from here
Where i can live, where i can't fear
You know what they say about a girl who has nothing to lose
You know what they say about a girl who has nothing to lose
(I need it back)
I don't care if a war is about to happen
You brought it unto you
(I'll bring it back)
We'll soon be back in these four walls
(We need it back)
I'm gonna raise the banner higher
I'm coming home to you
(No turning back)
I may be weak, but i will fight
Prepared to lay down my whole life
You know what they say about a girl who has nothing to lose
The song "Nothing to Lose" by Precious Jewel Amor is a powerful ballad about a foreigner who is taken in by a welcoming host and finds peace and a sense of belonging. The first verse describes the singer's initial state as a "foreigner straight out of nowhere" and a "castaway." The singer is called poor but finds happiness in the simple things, like the smell of bread in their own paradise. They are grateful for their welcoming host, who treats them like family and brings peace to their soul. The singer is content with who they are and the people who they love.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "You know what they say about a girl who has nothing to lose," indicating that the singer is willing to take risks and fight for what they believe in. The second verse describes the singer's realization that they could be more and their encounter with a "higher power" that turns out to be a traitor disguised as an angel. The singer is left alone and struggles to survive while feeling that the land they once loved has lost its soul. They are oppressed by the tyranny of those who won and have taken away their liberty, leaving them unable to scream.
The final verses of the song express the singer's determination to fight back and reclaim what they have lost. They are willing to face war and lay down their life for what they believe in, and they are not afraid to fight.

I was actually tearing up at this one, like I did with Tubbo's.
Nihachu was absolutely an amazing person, even in the rp and real life, she had a big character play in it.
Compared to Tubbo's, which spoke about him wanting peace yet betrayed so many times, Niki's was about her determination of getting L'manburg, and how she's been wronged and yet she's still standing strong. And it hits me, so much, because it's like saying "I've been here, and all I want is to go back into my home."
L'manburg is their place,
"We'll soon be back in these four walls."
Oh Lord, that hits so deep.
