From Nothing
Wild Ones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There it is and then it’s not
And I won’t say it’s wrong
Had it once, but now it’s gone
Ooooh
Aim on you
It ain’t lit up, no, it ain’t lit up
Gone dark again
If you find it oooh
I want it too
Away it will sneak off
Seen you once before, it’s lost
I won’t say it’s wrong
Now you know it’s not enough
Aim on you
I fought it off
It ain’t lit up, no, it ain’t lit up
You guardian
If you find it ooooh
I want it
Only way I can move
I don’t wait on you
I won’t say what is true
It’s lonely
Aim on you
I fought it off
It ain’t lit up, no, it ain’t lit up
Gone dark again
If you find it oooooh
I want it
Aim on you
I fought it off
It ain’’t lit up, no, it ain’t lit up
You guardian
If you find it ooooh
I want it too
The lyrics of Wild Ones’s song “From Nothing” seem to be about the feeling of losing something or someone important, and then trying to find it again. The lyrics start with “Away it will run off, there it is and then it’s not, and I won’t say it’s wrong, had it once but now it’s gone”. It seems like the person had something or someone that disappeared, and although they know it’s not wrong, they still miss it.
The chorus repeats the lines “Aim on you, I fought it off, it ain’t lit up, no it ain’t lit up, gone dark again, if you find it ooooh, I want it”. The person is fighting the urge to give in and give up on what’s missing, but they still want it back. The song seems to have a sense of confusion and desperation, with lines like “Only way I can move, I don’t wait on you, I won’t say what is true, it’s lonely”. Overall, the song is a reflection on the difficulties of losing something and the internal struggle to keep fighting for it.

I saw them at The Sinclair in Boston for the first time last Sunday, and I am obsessed with them now. I met one of the band members after, and he was such a nice guy. Her voice is even better live.

This song was playing during a
sunrise on a warm morning drive down I-475 in the summer of 2018 with this chic in the passenger seat laying on my shoulder. She came into my life as quick as she left it. But not a single bad memory. 😊🌞😌
