| Bruce Springsteen – Nothing Man Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Is that true? Has Bruce ever explained the meaning in an interview? This is probably one of my favourite songs ever. So haunting and intriguing. I'd love to know the true meaning of the song. When I first heard it I thought it meant what tjtros and tbundick think it means. I also thought that he was possibly a fireman or a survivor who is ironically unhappy to have survived because what happened that day was an epiphany that made him realize that he has a 'nothing' lonely life full of sin and broken dreams. I thought that he has no real close friends, only the few fake friends he meets from time to time at some kind of 'club', 'Al' being one. I thought he was telling some woman he just fell in love with prior to the incident to 'give' him her 'kiss' but to know that he has a lousy life, and that shes the only good thing hes got and maybe the only thing that'll stop him from comitting suicide. However the idea of the ghost and the idea of the "family jewels" war wound is interesting. I really dont know what to think now!! Either way whichever way it leads you to think, it is a beautiful song and part of its beauty is in that mystery. |
