"This band knows how to make great heart-felt music. I have to admit it was one of the best albums I have listened to all year."

“It’s hard to not be impressed by “It’s Alright”. The melody instantly imbeds itself into the listener’s psyche. It really feels like you guys are pouring your heart and soul into the performance.”

"The album is packed with every element you want from music, from the catchier hook of “It’s Alright” that could easily take over the radio waves, to the in-your-face, angst-ridden, tear-it-up “Only One.”

"This is a trio of undeniably talented musicians, who know how to take that talent and weave it into music that can reach out and grab even the unlikeliest fan. It’s hard to find such strong songwriting in music now.”

All for Nothing
The Better World Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Matt Coban)
What you have is something I have never felt before
Don't throw it away
And if I turn my head from everything I taught myself
Then I'm somewhere in the middle
Well I can feel the rain, but I can also do without it
What's this dream you call a passion
Did you do it all for nothing
Is there anything to fear?
Never felt you coming closer
Everything kept moving forward
And it's so hard to deal
And I know, I did it all for nothing
Keep yourself up straight, maybe things will begin to change
If no one gets in your way
Sooner or later comes, feels like you ran away from home
And you're stuck somewhere in the middle
And if you fall too deep, just make sure I can do without it
Bringing me down
What's this dream you call a passion
Did you do it all for nothing
Is there anything to fear?
Never felt you coming closer
Everything kept moving forward
And it's so hard to deal
And I know, I did it all for nothing
Broken lives, don't get away from yourself
Cause I'm already lost enough
Do you know where you'd go, if you were out on your own?
Cause I can't even change the world
No I can't change the world
The lyrics of "All for Nothing" by The Better World revolve around the theme of personal struggles and feelings of disillusionment. The opening line, "What you have is something I have never felt before, don't throw it away," signals a message of hope - the singer advises the listener to hold onto something precious that they possess. The song continues with the singer admitting that he himself has turned away from his own beliefs, feeling lost and somewhere in the middle.
The chorus of the song asks the question, "What's this dream you call a passion, did you do it all for nothing? Is there anything to fear?" The phrase "did you do it all for nothing" is important as it suggests that the struggles and hard work one goes through in pursuit of a dream may all be for nothing in the end. The lines "Never felt you coming closer, everything kept moving forward, and it's so hard to deal" indicate feelings of stagnation and frustration in the singer's life.
The song ends on a somewhat hopeful note, with the singer urging the listener to "keep yourself up straight, maybe things will begin to change." However, the final lines of the song - "do you know where you'd go, if you were out on your own? 'cause I can't even change the world, no I can't change the world" - suggest a certain degree of resignation and acceptance of one's limitations.

And I know, I did it all for nothing
I didn't notice you getting closer to me or realizing my mistakes, and I found it difficult to cope with the consequences of my actions, and now I regret everything.
Keep yourself up straight, maybe things will begin to change
If no one gets in your way
Be confident and stay focused, and there's a chance that you'll see progress or improvement, provided that no one obstructs or opposes you.
Sooner or later comes, feels like you ran away from home
And you're stuck somewhere in the middle
At some point, you'll face a situation where you feel lost or alienated like you don't belong to a specific place, and you don't know what to do next.
And if you fall too deep, just make sure I can do without it
Bringing me down
If you experience a severe setback or crisis, don't drag me down with you or harm me emotionally.
Broken lives, don't get away from yourself
Cause I'm already lost enough
Don't let your problems or struggles consume you or make you forget who you truly are, because I'm already struggling to find myself.
Do you know where you'd go, if you were out on your own?
Cause I can't even change the world
No I can't change the world
Do you have a clear direction or purpose in your life, even if you're independent? Because even if I have good intentions, I realize that I can't make a big impact on the world or solve its problems alone.
