Nothing To Lose
Zola Courtney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm still learning
Don't want no one to notice me
I don't have much patience
This sensation
That I'm not who I'm suppose be
When it's me who's winning and loosing
Each time I send myself on cruising
Into a new idea
I can't keep fighting myself trying
To be another girl well I
Can't keep denying I'm not what I appear
When the rain keeps coming
The sun ain't sunning
You feel your heart on the loose
Remember your story
In all its glory
Cuz girls there's nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
And they said reach for the stars
That boys are from mars
But they don't tell you that
They can break your heart
And with time comes a day
When it's hard to stay awake
To dream before you fall apart
I can't keep on picking and choosing
When it's me who's winning and loosing
Each time I send myself on cruising
Into a new idea
I can't keep fighting myself trying
To be another girl well I
Can't keep denying I'm not what I appear
So I say
When the rain keeps coming
The sun ain't sunning
You feel your heart on the loose
Remember your story
In all its glory
Cuz girls there's nothing to lose
When the rain keeps coming
The sun ain't sunning
You feel your heart on the loose
Remember your story
In all its glory
Cuz girls there's nothing to lose
Nothing to loose
(No there's nothing, nothing to lose)
When the rain keeps coming
The sun ain't sunning
You feel your heart on the loose
Remember your story
In all its glory
Cuz girls there's nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Zola Courtney's song "Nothing to Lose" is a powerful anthem that speaks about the struggles of self-acceptance and finding one's place in the world. The opening lines, "Know I'm far from perfect, I'm still learning, Don't want no one to notice me" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer acknowledges her imperfections and the fact that she is still trying to figure out who she is, but at the same time, she doesn't want others to see her vulnerabilities. She goes on to say that she can't keep denying who she is and trying to be someone else. She feels a sense of confusion but is determined to figure things out.
The chorus of the song, "When the rain keeps coming, the sun ain't sunning, You feel your heart on the loose, Remember your story, In all its glory, Cuz girls there's nothing to lose" provides words of hope and encouragement. The singer urges other girls to remember their story and all that they have been through. She acknowledges that life can be tough, but they should not lose hope and keep fighting for what they believe in. They should not let their fears hold them back as there is nothing to lose.
In the second verse, the singer talks about the pressure to conform to societal norms and expectations. She mentions the popular saying, "reach for the stars," but highlights the fact that it is not always easy as they can break your heart. Therefore, it is crucial to remain true to oneself and not try to be someone else to fit in. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, driving home the message of hope and self-acceptance.

Cuz girls there's nothing to lose
Because there's nothing to lose

Really, nothing to lose
And they said reach for the stars
People tell you to aim high
That boys are from mars
Boys are different from girls
But they don't tell you that
They don't warn you
They can break your heart
Boys can hurt you
And with time comes a day
With age comes a time
When it's hard to stay awake
When staying focused is challenging
To dream before you fall apart
To have aspirations before things go wrong
So I say
Therefore I declare
When the rain keeps coming
In the face of ongoing difficulties
The sun ain't sunning
And there's no respite
You feel your heart on the loose
Your emotions are out of control
Cuz girls there's nothing to lose
Girls, there's still nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
I repeat, nothing to lose
