Nothing New
Tadpole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hear your heart beat
I know you're hiding Rcause I can feel your fear against my skin
I know you're lost and lonely
I know you're scared and tired
I know you're falling
But I will catch you
I will catch you keep you
Sense my heart beat
You know I'm here Rcause you are paralysed, have lost your way
Now, today, forever never let you go
Today, I'll never ever let you go'
Something else is going on, still I don't care
First you're here and then your gone, still I don't care
When you think you're lost forever, I will find you
Even though you're hidden from me I will find you
The lyrics to Tadpole's song "Nothing New" paint a picture of two individuals who are struggling with their own fears and loneliness. The singer recognizes this and offers compassion and reassurance, promising to catch the other person and never let them go. They describe a connection between them, evident in the feeling of each other's breathing and heartbeat, and the sense of being lost without the other person.
The second verse reinforces this connection as the roles are reversed: now the person who was lost and scared before senses that the singer is nearby and paralyzed by their own fears. The singer pledges to never let go and find the other person even if they are hidden. The repeated phrase "still I don't care" may suggest a disregard for any other obstacles or challenges that may come their way, as the connection between them is all that matters.
Overall, the song conveys a message of comfort, giving hope to those dealing with feelings of isolation or uncertainty. The theme of finding and holding onto a connection with another person resonates with many listeners and offers a sense of reassurance in a world that can often feel unpredictable and unstable.
