No One Will
Seapony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It takes forever to leave it soon.
What can we do, what can we do?
I couldn't tell you it isn't the same,
I shouldn't tell you, why should I lie?
No one will cry, no one will cry.
Nobody I know will ever find time,
Nobody I know would really care.
What can we do, what can we do?
I saw you there.
The lyrics of "No One Will" by Seapony seem to describe the intricacies of being in a relationship that is about to end but not really wanting it to. The opening lines suggest that finding someone takes a long time, and leaving them is just as complicated. The singer seems to be questioning herself and wondering what she can do in the situation. The lyrics may also mean that even when we find someone, we still feel incomplete and don't necessarily want to leave what we have behind.
The following lines - "I couldn't tell you it isn't the same, I shouldn't tell you, why should I lie?" - can be interpreted as the singer questioning her own honesty regarding her feelings for the other person. The use of the word ‘lie’ suggests that she is contemplating hiding her true emotions for the sake of the other person. The verse concludes with, "No one will cry, no one will cry," meaning that no one will be upset if the relationship ends.
The second verse seems to be addressing the other person, with the lines "Nobody I know will ever find time, Nobody I know would really care. What can we do, what can we do?" suggesting that the singer feels that the other person won’t understand or support her decision. The lyrics end with "I saw you there," which could mean that the singer still cares for the other person, even though the relationship might be over.
