Nothing at All
Santana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A product of my age
There was no choosing my direction
I was a holy man but now
I am weak in my conviction
And so I walk to try to get away
Knowing that someday I will finally have to face
The fear that will come from knowing that
The one thing I had left was you
And now you're gone
You were a victim of my crimes
A product of my rage
You were a beautiful distraction
I kept you locked away outside
And let misery provide
And now I am ashamed
And so I walk to try to find a space
Where I can be alone to live with my mistakes
And the fear that will come from knowing
That the one thing I had left was you
And now you're gone
Is there nothing at all
That I can do to turn your heart?
Is there nothing to lean on
That could help erase the scars?
Te quiero, me quiero
And I could use a little strength before I fall
Is there nothing at all?
I am victim of my time
A product of my age
You alone are my obsession
You were the one I left behind
You've been heavy on my mind
It's been a lonely road I've traveled
And so I walk to try to get away
Knowing that someday I will finally have to face
The fear that will come from knowing that
The one thing I had left was you
And now you're gone
Is there nothing at all
That I can do to turn your heart?
Is there nothing to lean on
That could help erase the scars?
Te quiero, me quiero
And I could use a little strength before I fall
Is there nothing at all?
Is there nothing at all
That I can do to turn your heart?
Is there nothing to lean on
That could help erase the scars?
Te quiero, me quiero
And I can use a little strength before I fall
Is there nothing at all?
Is there nothing at all?
The lyrics of Santana's song "Nothing at All" depict the regret and sorrow of a man who has lost the love of his life due to his own mistakes and shortcomings. The singer acknowledges that he was a victim and a product of his time and age, unable to choose his direction in life. He admits to being a holy man previously, but with all his trials and tribulations behind him, he now finds himself weakened in his convictions. He walks to try to get away from his mistakes and knows that someday he will have to face the fear of knowing that the one thing he had left was her, and now she's gone. The singer is filled with regret and despair and asks whether there is anything he can do to turn her heart, to help erase the scars, to find a little strength before he falls.
The song is poignant and beautifully written, conveying a message of lost love and redemption. The singer's depiction of himself as a victim and product of his time and age is relatable, as many of us struggle with the same issues of finding our direction in life. The song's repeated refrain of "Is there nothing at all?" reinforces the idea of hopelessness and despair, yet the use of the phrase "Te quiero, me quiero" or "I love you, I love myself" suggests that the singer still holds onto hope and self-love.
