I love "Nothing". You know, I have always thought, as simple as it is, that this song could just be about being depressed. Utterly despondant and hollow. And/or the lines "What am I trying to do/What am I trying to say/I'm not trying to tell you/Anything you didn't know/When you woke up today" reinforces the feelings of low self-esteem and self worth that often accompany depression. Or it could have just been the gloomy state of mind that spurred the topics discussed in the song, which is not about being depressed, but more of what you have said, Mode000 and cheren28. I'm rather new to this band's music, so I assume you [other posters] know more about the band and their song meanings than I do. blegh, as for what I thought of this song's meaning, I'm just stating the obvious :o/
