Nobody
Rag N Bone Man Leaf Dog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You live your life by time, by my whatever
No matter what the weather brings
There's always a rain cloud hanging over you
I don't need, I don't need nobody (I)
I don't need, I don't need nobody (don't need nobody)
I don't need, I don't need nobody (don't need nobody)
Ain't the way you brush your hair
Or that ship on my shoulder
Ain't the way you look at me
Or that I'm getting older
I don't need, I don't need nobody (I)
I don't need, I don't need nobody (don't need nobody)
I don't need, I don't need nobody (don't need nobody)
I don't need, I don't need nobody
My sunshine comes when I need it
There's no love if you should ever feel it
I hate the way you need me
'Cause I need nobody
I don't need, I don't need nobody (I)
I don't need, I don't need nobody (don't need nobody)
I don't need, I don't need nobody (don't need nobody)
I don't need, I don't need nobody
The lyrics of "Nobody" by Rag N Bone Man and Leaf Dog express feelings of independence and self-sufficiency in contrast to the tension and negativity present in a strained relationship. The first verse talks about the tension between the two individuals, where one person lives their life very structured by time while the other takes a more laid-back approach, going by the flow of things. The chorus repeats the sentiment of not needing anybody, indicating that the singer is content with being alone rather than being in a toxic relationship.
In the second verse, the singer continues to elaborate on the reasons why they don't need anyone in their life. They explain that their happiness doesn't come from external factors such as the way someone looks or how they act towards them. They also mention that they don't need someone to make them feel loved or validated, because they already have a source of happiness that comes from within. The bridge of the song reaffirms the adage "happiness comes from within" by stating that the singer's sunshine (source of happiness) comes when they need it and that love can't be felt if it is forced rather than being a natural occurrence.
Overall, the lyrics of "Nobody" promote the idea of being comfortable in one's own skin and not settling for people or situations that do not bring positivity into one's life. The song encourages listeners to find their own sources of joy and not to rely on others to provide it for them.
