MAN OF NOTHING
SWITCH STYLE Lyrics

The lyrics of "Man of Nothing" by SWITCH STYLE suggest a sense of detachment and freedom from societal conventions. The first lines declare the singer's identity as a man who lives in the moment, unconcerned with the judgments of others. He reveals his ability to contain strong emotions within himself without outwardly expressing them, as he chooses to embrace his own multitude of identities over a fixed personality. The repetition of "These are my shapes, no where at all" emphasizes this fluidity of identity and the lack of a fixed destination or place.

The bridge highlights the singer's power in being formless and undefinable, as he claims that he is the water in your glass, capable of taking on whatever form is necessary to exist in a given situation. The use of the term "nameless-shapeless-faceless" further emphasizes this idea of being free from societal labels and expectations. The phrase "you can't break me down" indicates a sense of resilience that comes with the singer’s detachment from societal norms.

The chorus repeats the phrase "He is the man of nothing," which can be interpreted both negatively and positively. While one could argue that the man is empty and lacks purpose, another viewpoint could be that he is free from materialistic desires and societal expectations. The final lines of the song, "I want nothing I seek nothing, I need nothing I am nothing," further emphasize the idea of being free from attachment to materialistic desires and societal expectations.
