No One
Trespassers William Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What would you say
If I said this year has been
Only a dream that only we have been in
No one else can sense all the harm I've done
And it has always been our hands in a melded one
If there's a difference
Then I don't know
Between miles and a stone's throw
All that matters is what can mend us
You can be silent as you want to

No one can punish me like I do
What would you say
If I said I found the truth
We'll turn it around
I'll stay here and wait for you
If there's a difference
Then I don't know




Between miles and a stone's throw
All that matters is what can mend us

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Trespassers William's "No One" seem to present the idea that perhaps the past year had been a dream shared only by the singer and the listener. In this dream, the singer has caused harm that only they can feel. However, the two of them are connected, "our hands in a melded one". Despite the harm the singer has done, whatever can mend them is all that truly matters. The final lines suggest that no one can punish the singer as much as they punish themselves, and that if the listener were to be informed of the truth, they could help turn things around.


This song seems to be about the deep emotional pain that someone can experience alone, and how having someone else there can often make things feel better. The lyrics speak to the idea of shared experiences, and implore the listener to be there for the singer, even if they are silent, as they work through their troubles. The lines about no one being able to punish the singer like they can, suggests that perhaps the harm caused was unintentional, or that they feel a deep responsibility for the situation they find themselves in. In the end, they suggest that the truth can set them free, but only if they have someone to share it with.

If I were to tell you something significant, how would you react?


If I said this year has been
If I claimed that our experiences through the past year have been a figment of our imagination


Only a dream that only we have been in
A mere fantasy that involves only us, with no aparent involvement of anyone else


No one else can sense all the harm I've done
There's damage that I have caused, but only I am conscious of it, nobody else can detect the impact of my actions


And it has always been our hands in a melded one
We have been in this surreal dream together, united, and firmly holding onto each other


If there's a difference
Considering comparative features, if there may be any contrast


Then I don't know
To be honest, I have no clue!


Between miles and a stone's throw
Because in reality it does not matter, although one may be considered far away or closer, physically speaking


All that matters is what can mend us
The only relevant thing that should be of our interest at this moment is how can we find equilibrium again, in a healthy bond between us


You can be silent as you want to
You don't have to say anything, I will listen and understand you regardless of our interpretations diverging.


No one can punish me like I do
I am the only one who can discipline myself and pay for the harm I have caused or how I feel towards a given circumstance


If I said I found the truth
Suppose I found an answer to what has been happening between us


We'll turn it around
We are going to transform our situation and heal from it, come out the other side stronger than ever.


I'll stay here and wait for you
I am willing to be patient, even if you need a longer period to reflect.


All that matters is what can mend us
The substance that is of significance is that which will make us recover, in friendship and mutual understanding.
