There's Nothing
Shout Out Louds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a dream that's always out of hand
But there's nothin' I can do about it
Cause the dream is out of my command
There are songs that never should be written
There are words that never should be said
But there's nothing I can do about it
There's nothing
They say that I should always listen
They say that I should be aware
But there's nothing I can do about it
I just want to make them disappear
There's nothing I can do to make them disappear
There's nothing it's never ending
There are words that are never easy to say but there's nothing
that can be done about it. The lyrics of the song convey a sense of insignificance and lack of control over one's own thoughts and dreams. The dream that is described in the first stanza is something that is always out of reach and beyond the singer's grasp. He recognizes that he has no control over it, hence there is "nothing" he can do about it.
Similarly, the second stanza talks about words that should never be said - implying that these are negative thoughts or feelings that the singer is unable to control. Once again, he feels powerless over them and can do "nothing" to stop them from being present in his mind.
The third stanza seems to suggest that there are people around the singer who are offering advice and warnings, but he is unable to heed them because of his own mental struggles. He just wants the negative thoughts and feelings to disappear, but he knows that he cannot make them go away by sheer willpower.
Overall, the song has a somewhat melancholic and introspective quality, reflecting the struggles of individuals dealing with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
