Nameless World
Skip The Use Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've lost a lot a in this game
Another everyday face with no name
I'm not selling misery
So would you stay around with me
Whoa, I know that you are afraid
But I'm not selling misery
Maybe one day I'll feel home again
Hold on, hold on with me
What if we could change this world today
Hold on, hold on with me
What if we could change this world today
Don't let me forget what it is to belong
I hope the dream like the words of this song
Whatever your harmony
Oh, please just sing with me
Whoa, you don't have to turn a blind eye
If you really look I'm a regular guy
I'm not selling misery
Maybe one day I'll feel home again
Hold on, hold on with me
What if we could change this world today
Hold on, hold on with me
What if we could change this world today
Hold on, hold on with me
What if we could change this world today
Hold on, hold on with me
What if we could change this world today
The song "Nameless World" by Skip The Use is a powerful and thought-provoking anthem that speaks to the struggles of feeling lost and disconnected in a world that often seems cruel and unforgiving. The lyrics open with an invitation to hold on and stay strong while acknowledging the hardships that have been faced. The singer urges the listener to stay with them, even though they may appear battle-worn and scarred by life.
As the song continues, the singer acknowledges the fear that many people may have of those who have faced adversity and trauma. However, they emphasize that they are not selling misery and that they too long to find a sense of belonging and peace in the world. The chorus is a call to action, urging listeners not to turn a blind eye to the suffering around them and to join with others to work to create a better world.
The final verse of the song is particularly powerful, calling on listeners to remember the importance of connection and community. The singer asks that we not forget the importance of coming together to create harmony in the world, no matter the differences that may exist between us. Ultimately, the song is a rallying cry for compassion, empathy, and action in the face of adversity and suffering.

i remember watching this music video so many years ago, I can't believe how cool the animation still is.
@deathofbarney
I noticed that this video has criminally few comments so I wanted to call out of a few of my favorite things about this video
-The mini Flash of lightning right before the police appear, easy to overlook until you see the one after that zaps them back out of view.
-The MC expression after seeing the toothy grin and the interaction between the driver after trying to cheer him up not noticing anything was up. ( Blind seatbelt grab motion done so well)
-The cute witchy girl interaction, fantastic expressions as well
-Last of all the show of personality of the MC in the car as he put everything together and being so DONE with it all.
