Nothing To Lose
Stardog Champion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gimme a reason to love you
Give me the wings to fly
You gave it up so easy
Eat your humble pie
Gimme the reason to hate you
Give me the strength to fight
You gave it up so easy
To tell a vicious lie

You got nothing to lose
Cause you're out of luck and you're all alone
You got nothing to lose
Cause you're calling out and there's no one home
You got nothing to lose

That little flame that burned you
You wanna touch it twice
Believe in absolution baby
And never wonder why...
You never pacify

You got nothing to lose
Cause you're out of luck and you're all alone
You got nothing to lose
Cause you're calling out and there's no one home
You got nothing to lose
Cause you're half the man but you're not your own
You got nothing to lose




Cause your time is up but you're none too soon
You got nothing to lose

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Stardog Champion's song "Nothing to Lose" appear to be directed towards someone who has given up too easily, either in love or in life, and is now feeling the consequences of their actions. The first verse asks for a reason to love or hate this person, almost as if trying to understand their motivations, but ultimately points out that they gave up so easily - in the first case, by surrendering love without a fight, and in the second by telling a lie. The chorus then repeats the phrase "you got nothing to lose" several times over, seemingly as a reminder to this person that they are now on their own, with no one left to help them.


The second verse adds some more imagery to the song, comparing the person's desire to touch the flame again to their need for absolution, or forgiveness, without ever questioning their actions. The line "you never pacify" suggests that this person always wants more or is never satisfied, which could also contribute to their current predicament. The chorus repeats once again, adding the lines "cause you're half the man but you're not your own" and "cause your time is up but you're none too soon" to further emphasize the idea that this person is lost and alone.


Overall, the lyrics to "Nothing to Lose" seem to be a cautionary tale against giving up too easily, whether in love or in life. The repeated phrase "you got nothing to lose" serves as a reminder that actions have consequences and that we must be willing to fight for what we want and believe in.
