Nothing Left to Lose
Warning Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember the endless longing
That called inside of me,
From fountains of expression,
Trying to break free.
Nothing left to say
When the walls give way.
Still, I can faintly recall
The subtle purity
Of youthful inspiration
And insecurity.
Nothing left to say,
When the child finds his way.
Pride, and the drive that started the dream,
Turned, in time, to an endless obsession.
Caught in a vicious circle of compulsion.
Possessed by the goal and the possession.
Desires bind the truth to secrecy,
But behind the aspirations I see
A life devoted to blind ambition.
And a mortal man searching for eternity
Behind the desires.
And the wall that gave way.
There's a forgotten cause,
Consumed by the day,
Behind the ambitions
Of a child who found his way.
There's a cold realization
That our deeds die with the day.
And behind the disguise
Of a man with a cause,
There's a child screaming.
With nothing left to say,
Paralyzed by inhibitions
And indecisions,




What once was a release
Is now a prison.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Nothing Left To Lose" by Warning are rich with meaning and complexity. From the beginning, the song evokes a sense of nostalgia for the freedom of youth and the endless possibilities of artistic expression. The imagery of fountains of expression suggests a deep wellspring of creativity that is struggling to break free from its constraints.


As the song progresses, we see how the desire for artistic expression has morphed into a more obsessive ambition. The drive to create has become an all-consuming passion, binding the truth to secrecy and distancing the artist from those around him. The chorus is particularly powerful, as it suggests the futility of such single-minded ambition. When the walls give way and nothing is left to say, the artist is left alone with his dreams and desires, cut off from the world.


The final verse of the song is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the artist has become trapped in his own ambition. What was once a release has become a prison. The child who found his way is now paralyzed by inhibitions and indecisions, unable to recapture the creative spark that once burned so brightly. All that is left is a cold realization that our deeds die with the day, and that behind every cause and ambition lies a child screaming for release.


Overall, "Nothing Left To Lose" is a powerful and evocative meditation on the nature of artistic expression and the price of ambition. It suggests that while the desire to create may be noble and pure, unchecked ambition can lead to a kind of self-imposed exile, cutting us off from the very world we seek to engage with.


Line by Line Meaning

I remember the endless longing
Recalling a time of vast yearning and unrelenting desire


That called inside of me,
The longing was deeply rooted within self


From fountains of expression,
The desire to express oneself was immense


Trying to break free.
Attempting to break free from self-imposed inhibitions


Nothing left to say
Words are hard to come by


When the walls give way.
When all barriers are overcome


Still, I can faintly recall
Memories barely visible


The subtle purity
The innocence of that time


Of youthful inspiration
The inspiration of youth


And insecurity.
The vulnerability and uncertainty felt


Nothing left to say,
Words escape us once again


When the child finds his way.
Once the child has found their direction in life


Pride, and the drive that started the dream,
The self-satisfaction and motivation that began it all


Turned, in time, to an endless obsession.
Eventually became an insatiable fixation


Caught in a vicious circle of compulsion.
Trapped in a cycle of necessity


Possessed by the goal and the possession.
Overwhelmed by the aim and the outcome


Desires bind the truth to secrecy,
Desires obscure the truth and make it hard to reveal


But behind the aspirations I see
However, beyond the yearnings


A life devoted to blind ambition.
A life of zealous devotion to the goal


And a mortal man searching for eternity
And a human being seeking endlessness


Behind the desires.
Beyond the drives


And the wall that gave way.
And the tipping point which led to accomplishment


There's a forgotten cause,
There is a disregarded purpose


Consumed by the day,
Lost amidst everyday happenings


Behind the ambitions
Beyond one's aspirations


Of a child who found his way.
Of the youthful soul that encountered their direction in life


There's a cold realization
A stark recognition


That our deeds die with the day.
That our actions always come to an end


And behind the disguise
Beyond the act


Of a man with a cause,
Of the person with a purpose


There's a child screaming.
There is a youthful soul emoting


With nothing left to say,
Lost for words


Paralyzed by inhibitions
Stuck due to restraints


And indecisions,
And uncertainties


What once was a release
What once served as liberation


Is now a prison.
Now turned into a confinement
