Nomads
Ricky Hill ft. The Weeknd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She'll be alone when I leave her
I like it better that way
I'm on my own when I need her
Cause they get better that way
She's addicted to the heroin
Lighter than a feather that day
But I kind of like the morphine
Triple x double bottle, lean codeine
What you want?
I'm that motherfucker
Baby, I'm that motherfucker
What you on?
Not feeling like them other suckers
Not feeling like them other suckers
Mrs. Lucille
Come and touch me
Let me know that you're real
Because if you're fake
I got to get away
Punch you in the fucking face

Should have known from the start
What we got can't leave this room
And I ain't playing with your heart
It's just a habit to let bitches know the truth
I made it clear to the world
Ain't nobody gonna be that somebody
I made it clear to the world

Ain't nobody gonna be that somebody

I do it all to stay warm
I do it all to get by
I do it all for a home
For a night
But, baby
I won't keep ya
Just know that
I'mma leave ya
So, fuck me right
Baby, fuck me right
Until I'm too tired to leave ya
And we can
Call this your night
Wipe those tears from your eyes
Cause, baby it's alright
Baby it's alright
I got a bottle of the 'Tron
In my brand new coat
If you want to take a sip
To forget what we did
Girl, I've done this before
I get faded all alone
'Til my body gets thin to forget all my sins
Should've known from the start what we got can't leave this room
And I ain't playing with your heart
It's just a habit to let bitches know the truth
I made it clear to the world
Ain't nobody gonna be that somebody




I made it clear to the world
Ain't nobody gonna be that somebody

Overall Meaning

The song "Nomads" by Ricky Hil featuring The Weeknd is a melancholy and raw exploration of addiction and toxic relationships. The lyrics delve into the dysfunctionality of a romantic relationship where both parties are addicted to drugs and constantly using them to escape their reality. The opening lines, "She'll be alone when I leave her, I like it better that way, I'm on my own when I need her, Cause they get better that way" convey a sense of emotional distance and detachment. The singer prefers to be alone as it helps him cope with his addiction.


The lyrics about drugs are vivid and showcase a dependency on different substances. We see one person addicted to heroin while the singer prefers morphine and codeine. The use of such substances to cope with life is alarming, and the lyrics highlight the dangers of addiction. The chorus, "Should have known from the start what we got can't leave this room, And I ain't playing with your heart, It's just a habit to let bitches know the truth, I made it clear to the world, Ain't nobody gonna be that somebody" reflects on the inevitability of their separation and the fact that the relationship was always destined to fail. The lyrics suggest that the singer is upfront about his intentions, and he never plans on settling down or being committed to anyone.


Overall, "Nomads" is a haunting and vulnerable portrayal of addiction and its impact on relationships. The lyrics are honest and blunt, showcasing the destructive nature of addiction and the difficulty of letting go of toxic relationships.
