Sweet Nothing
Senest spillet: Calvin Harris feat. Florence Welch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You took my heart, and you held it in your mouth
And with the word, all my love came rushing out
And every whisper, it's the worst
Emptied out by a single word
There is a hollow in me now

So I'll put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold
I'm living on such sweet nothing
And it's hard to learn
And it's hard to love
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing
Sweet nothing
You're giving me such sweet nothing

It isn't easy for me to let it go
'Cause I've swallow every single word
And every whisper, every sigh
Eats away at this heart of mine
And there is a hollow in me now

So I'll put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold
I'm living on such sweet nothing
And it's hard to learn
And it's hard to love
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing
Sweet nothing
You're giving me such sweet nothing

And it's not enough to tell me that you care
When we both know that words are empty air
You give me nothing
Nothing





Sweet nothing
Sweet nothing

Overall Meaning

The song "Sweet Nothing" by Calvin Harris feat. Florence Welch is about a relationship that has gone sour. The lyrics describe how the singer has given her heart to her partner, but he only gives her empty words in return. She is left feeling hollow and hopeless, but still clings to the idea that something better is possible. There is a sense of desperation and longing in the song, as the singer struggles to come to terms with the reality of the situation.


The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as it repeats the phrase "Sweet nothing" several times. This phrase represents the emptiness of the singer's relationship and the futility of hoping for something more. The verses explore the pain and frustration that come with loving someone who cannot reciprocate that love. The bridge introduces a note of defiance, as the singer resolves to have faith in something unknown and move on from the past.


Overall, "Sweet Nothing" is a powerful song that speaks to anyone who has ever been in a one-sided relationship. It captures the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of hope and disappointment, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that can be cruel and uncaring.


Line by Line Meaning

You took my heart, and you held it in your mouth
You had the power over me, and I trusted you completely


And with the word, all my love came rushing out
Your words had a strong effect on me, and all my love poured out


And every whisper, it's the worst
Even your softest voice hurts me deeply


Emptied out by a single word
One simple thing you said completely drained me of emotion


There is a hollow in me now
I feel empty inside because of you


So I'll put my faith in something unknown
I'll try to trust in something new and uncertain


I'm living on such sweet nothing
I'm surviving on shallow promises and meaningless words


But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold
I'm exhausted from empty optimism without any substance


And it's hard to learn
It's difficult to understand


And it's hard to love
It's challenging to stay devoted in this situation


When you're giving me such sweet nothing
When all you give me is meaningless words and promises


And it isn't easy for me to let it go
It's hard for me to move on from this situation


'Cause I've swallow every single word
Because I've believed everything you've said without question


And every whisper, every sigh
Even the smallest sounds you make affect me deeply


Eats away at this heart of mine
Slowly destroys my heart and soul


And there is a hollow in me now
I feel empty inside because of you


And it's not enough to tell me that you care
Just saying you care isn't sufficient


When we both know that words are empty air
We both know that words alone mean nothing


You give me nothing
You provide me with nothing of substance


Sweet nothing
Empty, meaningless words


Sweet nothing
Empty, meaningless words

Why is nobody talking about Florence’s vocals, energy and charisma? This woman is a goddess and musical genius

@Chimera_166

We did. She's awesome. You're probably just discovering her talents. There's a reason she was chosen.
