Something to Lose
Quiet Luke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had all intentions good
I didn't know the way you understood...
All I had to say
Was that you couldn't have stayed
Got me running out of space
That I didn't know of
All of the colors that I could not show ya
Time just keeps the change
And these days become a wave
Somewhere there I must be chained...
Aaahhhhhh
Aaahhhhhh...
(Ba dee ya da bee ya da ba
Ba da ba ba da ba ba ba
Ba dee ya da bee ya da ba
Ba da ba ba da ba ba ba)
Empty glances and false information
All these portable tubes
I can't handle these faulty vibrations
Give me something to lose...
The song "Something to Lose" by Quiet Luke is a song that tells a story of a failed relationship or communication between people. The first verse sets the scene where the singer found out that someone was disappointed in him but the singer never intended any harm. It seems to be a moment where the singer is taken aback that their good intentions may have been misunderstood. He sang "I didn't know the way you understood..." which implies that there was a miscommunication. The chorus then highlights the idea that the other person cannot stay which may suggest that the singer is feeling a sense of guilt, loss or sadness.
The second verse of the song then suggests that the other person was hiding some emotions or secrets from him. The statement "you were definitely holding something that I didn't know of" implies a sense of betrayal as if the other person was secretive about something important. The last line of the verse "Somewhere there I must be chained..." may suggest that the singer feels trapped or at fault in some way. The song ends with the chorus's line "give me something to lose." It could imply that the singer desires to care about or possess something to cherish or perhaps a sense of desperation to not lose anything else.
