Nothing's Burning
Télépopmusik & Angela McCluskey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I did it today, I made myself say
And I take back my tears, my sight, my love
No more does your magic work
On my heart
No more will your words ever tear me apart

I know now for certain
Nothing's burning anymore

And I came strolling alone
Like your perfect girl in your perfect song
You'll forget who fixed you, in a little while

I know for certain
There's nothing burning anymore
I know now forever
Nothing's burning anymore

Overall Meaning

The song "Nothing's Burning" by Télépopmusik featuring Angela McCluskey is about the singer finally breaking away from a toxic relationship. In the first verse, the singer expresses their newfound strength and determination to take control of their own emotions, declaring that they will no longer be impacted by the other person's "magic" or hurtful words. The chorus repeats the title phrase "nothing's burning anymore," driving home the point that the emotions and passion that once fueled the relationship have dissipated entirely.


In the second verse, the singer describes their return to independence and autonomy, a state that they had lost while in the relationship. They reference the other person's tendency to idealize them and use them as inspiration for a song, acknowledging that they will eventually be forgotten in the other person's narrative. However, the singer is unfazed and remains steadfast in their newfound sense of self.


Overall, "Nothing's Burning" is a powerful ode to self-discovery and reclaiming one's own agency in a relationship. The lyrics are open-ended enough to apply to any kind of toxic dynamic, whether romantic, platonic, or professional.
