Nothing I Know So Well
Sophie Lindinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and I trust too fast
then I wait 'till it passes
but the time has already passed
So I try to embrace it
if it's pain or if it's lust
and I hope someday all that will stay is happiness
I know everybody's looking
for the sense and way of life
and I know just by searching
we will miss what's in sight
So I try to embrace whatever falls from above
and I hope someday I'll make it and
all I'll feel is love
It's nothing I know so well
In Sophie Lindinger's song "Nothing I Know So Well," the lyrics reflect a sense of confusion, vulnerability, and introspection. The singer describes feeling lost and getting caught up in a chaotic and unpredictable world. They acknowledge their tendency to trust blindly and, perhaps, too quickly. However, they also understand the importance of waiting for difficult times to pass, even though they realize that time has already moved on.
The singer then expresses their desire to accept and embrace the various emotions they experience, whether it be pain or lust. They hope that eventually, only happiness will remain in their life. This line suggests a willingness to confront their emotions head-on, learning and growing from them rather than avoiding or suppressing them.
The second paragraph delves into the universal search for meaning and purpose in life. The singer acknowledges that everybody is looking for a sense of direction and fulfillment. However, they caution against becoming so consumed by this search that they miss what is right in front of them. It is a reminder to be present and appreciate the small and simple joys that may be easily overlooked.
In the final lines, the singer continues their journey of self-discovery and growth. They strive to embrace whatever comes their way, whether it be positive or negative, recognizing that both contribute to their personal development. The ultimate hope is to reach a point where love is the prevailing emotion in their life. The repetition of the phrase "It's nothing I know so well" underscores the ongoing process of navigating through the complexities of life and developing a deeper understanding of oneself and the world.
