Nothing At All
Short Stack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But sometimes it's not enough
And I promise you softly, madly, deeply
You will love me when we touch
And all my prayers fall on broken wings
And all my friends say I'm gonna sink
And all my brains went to my head
But still I begged for more
I can't do anything right
So I sell my soul to the night
To be setting fire wit you
I can't take this anymore
With you I fall through the floors
Without you I'm nothing at all
I don't know why we're so lonely
To me it tastes like love
And all my prayers fall on broken wings
And all my friends say I'm gonna sink
And all my brains went to my head
You left me dead upon the kitchen floor
But still I begged for more
I can' do anything right
So I sell my soul to the night
To be setting fire with you
I can't take this anymore
With you I fall through the floors
Without you I'm nothing at all
These sunsets are a million years old
But they have never looked this beautiful
Because you were never there
Oh god, I can' do anything right
I sell my soul to the night
To be setting fire with you
I can't take this anymore
With you I fall through the floors
Without you I'm nothing at all
The song "Nothing at All" by Short Stack is a poignant reflection on the struggles of a failing relationship. The opening lines reveal the singer's admiration of their partner and their seemingly-perfect nature. However, despite this admiration, the singer still feels unsatisfied, and desperately wants their partner to love them as much as they love them. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desperation and feelings of inadequacy, as they sell their soul to the night and have nothing without their partner.
The second verse further extends the sense of despondency and despair the singer is experiencing. Their prayers go unanswered, as they feel isolated and alone in their pain. The lyrics "You left me dead upon the kitchen floor / But still I begged for more" illustrate the singer's inability to resist the allure of their partner, despite the pain they are causing them. The bridge provides a brief moment of hope, as the singer finds beauty in the world around them, but this is quickly shattered by the overwhelming sense of loneliness without their partner.
Overall, "Nothing at All" is a powerful expression of the pain and desperation that can accompany a failing relationship. The lyrics capture the sense of isolation and despair that the singer is feeling, while the haunting melody adds to the song's emotional impact.

This is amazing. To be honest I didn't like this song from the start, but I continued listening to it just because it had something extra. And now I'm head over heals in love with this song. @ShortStackBand, without you I'm nothing at all.
