Nothing
The And Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Could have been the worst day of my life
I felt my heart beat faster
When you told me that you had big news
I thought you might pop the question
Or ask me to move in
Make a mistake if I didn't think twice
And I decided what I had to do
Oh no, I let you go
I should probably feel bad I know
But I kicked off my shoes
And everything else kinda followed...
I've got nothing on but the radio
Dancing around my room with the lights down low
Nothing on but the radio
Turning it up so loud
That the neighbours know I'm happy with you gone
Nothing but the radio on
Nothing on
My boss liked to tease me
Didn't believe me when I said it was rude
That he'd give me a raise
If I laughed at his stupid jokes
I wouldn't give the satisfaction
Of a reaction
Then he invited me to his room
To get paid
And I told him where his raise could go
Oh no, I lost it so
I should probably feel scared and low
But when I got home, I kicked off my shoes and you know
I got nothing on but the radio
Dancing around my room with the lights down low
Nothing on but the radio
Turning it up so loud
That the neighbours know I'm happy with you gone
And nothing but the radio on
Yes its me that you see through the window
With my hands in the air waving you hello
I don't care if its crazy, I'm happy at being alone
Nothing on but the radio letting it all hang out
Nothing on but the radio turning it up so loud
Singing to a hairbrush microphone
Cause I'm happy now I've got
Nothing on but the radio, no
Nothing on but the radio
Dancing around my room with
the lights down low
Nothing on but the radio
The song “Nothing” by The And Band describes a woman’s decision to let go of two things that were holding her back and dance around without any inhibitions. The first situation is when her partner tells her that he has important news, but instead of proposing to her or asking her to move in, he ends things, making her heart sink. However, she decides to embrace the feeling of being alone and dances around in her room with nothing but the radio on. The second situation is when her boss tries to bribe her into laughing at his jokes for a raise, and she stands up for herself by rejecting the offer and telling him where he can place his raise. Again, she goes back to her room and dances around with nothing but the radio on, celebrating her newfound independence.
The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has had to let go of something that they thought was important to them, only to realize that it was not worth holding on to. The song encourages listeners to embrace their freedom and let loose, even if it means dancing around in their underwear with nothing but the radio on. The upbeat tempo of the song makes it the perfect anthem for anyone who wants to celebrate their independence.

Here as a 33 year old just screaming lyrics cos y'know, 00s nu-metal was our thing. Cracking song.
@torstenscholz6243
Yeah, looking at these videos again really brings back the good ol' days of 2000-2003 when nu metal was at its peak and music like this was everywhere. 🤘🤘Good times, hard to believe nowadays that music this heavy used to be mainstream when today there is hardly any contemporary rock music played in mainstream media at all. God, how I miss those days.😥😥
