No Such Thing
TNT Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wanna touch the world outside of me
Get out of my head
Stop telling myself lies I believe,
Then make them true
I could change my way of thinking yeah
Well easier is a new day
There is no such thing as forever son
Mama said, mama said
You can change your life for a better one
Mama said, mama said

Wanna not care what they think of me
And still be sociable
Retain my own identity, and know I'm good
Without seeking anyone's approval
I'm better than that
And today is a new day

There is no such thing as forever son
Mama said, mama said
You can change your mind like the weather son
Mama said, mama said
Live your life as you please,
Free of fear, free of doubt
It's the hardest thing you'll have ever done
Mama said, mama said

Your watching me, I'm watching you,
We're watching everything they do
Sometimes we try so hard we die
And then we lose the game

Live you life as you please,
Free of fear, free of doubt.....
It's the hardest thing you'll have ever done
Mama said

There is no such thing as forever son
Mama said, mama said
You can change your life for a better one
Mama said, mama said




There is no such thing
There is no such thing

Overall Meaning

The heart-tugging lyrics of "No Such Thing" by TNT capture the struggles of someone who wants to break free from the confines of their own mind and live life on their own terms. The song starts with the longing to touch the world beyond oneself and break free from the clutches of self-imposed limitations. The singer is tired of living a life filled with lies they tell themselves and want to break free from them. They yearn to change their way of thinking, but it's not always easy. The chorus is a bittersweet reminder that nothing lasts forever, and change is the only constant in life. The singer recalls the advice given by their mother to change their life for the better, a sentiment that is repeated throughout the song.


The song's second verse adds more insight into the character's thoughts, and their desire to not worry about what others think of them. They want to retain their identity without seeking anyone's approval, but it's easier said than done. They remind themselves that they are better than that and focus on making the present day positive. The chorus repeats the message of change being inevitable in life and the power that comes from it. The bridge of the song is where things get intense, with the singer acknowledging the constant pressure of the world around them. They state that trying too hard can lead to burnout, and sometimes losing can be part of the game of life.


The repetitive and simple chorus of "there is no such thing" is a reminder to the singer that they are the master of their own fate, and there are no rules set in stone in life. The song's message is one of hope and resilience, and it encourages listeners to live their lives the way they want to without any fears or doubts. The song's lyrics are simple yet impactful, evoking a sense of freedom and self-discovery that many can relate to.
