1) Warning was a doom meta… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple bands called Warning.
1) Warning was a doom metal band formed in Harlow, Essex, England, UK, formed in 1994 by Patrick Walker and Stuart Springthorpe. They were notable for their slow, progressive, melodic, heavy and doom-laden sound; the idiosyncratic and poignant vocals of Patrick Walker; and his introspective, darkly confessional lyrical themes.
The band released two demo tapes, Revelation Looms in February 1996 and Blessed by the Sabbath in March 1997 which led them to gain underground metal press attention and label interest. Warning's debut album The Strength to Dream was released in 1999 via The Miskatonic Foundation (owned and run by Richard M. Walker of Solstice). With this album Warning gained a cult status within doom metal circles, but they soon disbanded after their 2001 European tour with Jack Frost. They regrouped in 2004 to write new songs and to perform at The Doom Shall Rise festival (Germany) in 2005, and released a second album Watching From a Distance (also via The Miskatonic Foundation) in 2006 to wide acclaim.
Both albums were re-issued on CD in 2008 by the label Cyclone Empire, The Strength to Dream being re-packaged in new sleeve artwork. Similarly the albums were released by the Metal Supremacy label as gatefold double-vinyl editions limited to 500 copies each, 125 of each pressed on coloured vinyl.
In 2008 Stuart Springthorpe left the band due to family and work commitments but continues to teach drums and perform. Patrick Walker decided to discontinue the band in January 2009 and continues to write and record music with his new band, 40 Watt Sun.
2) Warning was an electro / synth rock duo from Hamburg, Germany, formed by Ed Vanguard (Edgar Schlepper) and Mike Yonder (Hans Müller). The group was active between 1982-1983, and had a one-hit-wonder with a song from the episode "Peggy Hat Angst" from the German TV Series "Tatort".
3) Warning was a heavy metal band from Sweden, active between 1987-1989.
4) Warning was a heavy metal / speed metal band from France, active between 1979-1983.
5) Warning is a power metal band from Dąbrowa Górnicza, Poland, formed in 2003.
Nothing Left to Lose
Warning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.
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
