It Means Nothing Lyrics
Did we lose ourselves again?
Did we take in what's been said?
Did we take the time to be
All the things we said we'd be?
And we bury heads in sand
But my future's in my hands
It means nothing
It means nothing
You can find yourself a god
Believe in which you want
'Cause they love you all the same
They just go by different names
When they fly the flag today
Are you proud or just ashamed?
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
When the sun sets in the sky
You're the apple of my eye
If the bomb goes off again
In my brain or on the train
Then I hope I'm with you
'Cause I won't know what to do
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
Did we take in what's been said?
Did we take the time to be
All the things we said we'd be?
And we bury heads in sand
But my future's in my hands
It means nothing
It means nothing
Believe in which you want
'Cause they love you all the same
They just go by different names
When they fly the flag today
Are you proud or just ashamed?
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
You're the apple of my eye
If the bomb goes off again
In my brain or on the train
Then I hope I'm with you
'Cause I won't know what to do
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you

Kelly said last night at Manchester that they wrote it during the time of the London 7/7 bombings but more about the attitudes of people and life rather then based on the situation.
Brilliant song though
Kelly has explained this at numerous live gigs as just being about something that stops you in your tracks and makes you realize what you've got - Namely the 7/7 bombings
doesnt the 2nd verse go
You can find yourself a god Believe in which one you want Cause they love you all the same They just go by different names
that makes more sense 2 me
still, good song anyway
Great song and great new album... Those guys just rock!
yeh brainstew is rite it is god and also its bury heads in sand which wud also make more sense. great song
yeah i thought it was about a person who lost someone in the london 7/7 bombings and is just saying how pointless there life seems without them. Those lyrics are so incorrect its laughable (hahahaha)... they need to be corrected pronto
He said at the Cardiff gig that it was about anyone specific who lost their life. And that when 7/7 happened it gave him the neesh to carry this song on. And in the words of him from last night "This song is just about giving everyone a fucking break, because sometimes don't you think all we want in life is peace" Beautiful
this makes me cry without fail. just the line "it means nothing if i havent got you". this guy who messes me about sent me a video of himself singing it, sad times lol.
I love this song. despite of it's simplicity, it catches you every time you listen to it.
"Did we lose ourselves again? Did we take in what’s been said? Did we take the time to be, all the things we said we’d be? So we bury hopes in sand And my future’s in my hands"
This part perfectly describes the mess I'm in right now. I'm burying all hopes in the sand because it just seems so pointless right now. Brilliant song by a brilliant band!
