Nothing Without You
The Big Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
all our parties never took to you, ive got a leg to stand on.
you know the truth, you know im nothing without you.
you know im nothing, you know im nothing without you.
In "Nothing Without You", The Big Moon sings about the painful realization of how much they need someone they've lost. The singer begs for the other person to come back and show them their "pretty face" once more, recognizing that they miss them terribly. The reference to "parties" suggests that the person may have left due to disagreements or conflicts with the singer's friends. However, the singer declares that they have "a leg to stand on," implying that they are confident in their stance and have learned from the past. This is immediately followed by the admission that they are "nothing without you."
The repetition of the phrase "you know" emphasizes that the other person is aware of their importance to the singer's life. The raw honesty of the lyrics and simple, almost pleading melody underscore the singer's desperation and vulnerability. Ultimately, the song pays tribute to a relationship that has been lost, and serves as both a confession of the singer's true feelings and a plea for forgiveness.
