Ask For Nothing Lyrics
I ask a question,
I let it go just like a balloon.
I'll never need to know.
No need to waste time holding the string.
I already know that I love everything.
I ask for nothing,
but maybe I'm lying.
I don't know nothing,
but I know I'm trying.
It's not the nothingness at the end
so much as message nothingness would send.
I just like the feeling imagining
that every balloon comes back without a string.
I ask for nothing,
but maybe I'm lying.
I don't know nothing,
but I know I'm trying.
It's not for nothing,
that I believe nothing really dies.
Something will always be something.
Not yet asleep but lying in bed,
looking at the ceiling, looking in your head.
It's like the ocean, thoughts can run deep.
Forget it-- Hey you, wake up and go to sleep.
I ask for nothing,
but maybe I'm lying.
I don't know nothing,
but I know I'm trying.
It's not for nothing,
that I believe nothing really dies.
Something will always be something,
in my eyes,
in my eyes,
in my eyes,
in my eyes,
in my eyes,
in my eyes,
in my eyes,
in my eyes,
in my.....

This song makes me think of perfectionism. Perfectionists (such as myself) often want to look like they know all the answers, so they refuse help and never ask for it on their own. This causes a lingering feeling of anxiety as they overthink about whether they should've taken help when the answer is yes.
Could be about Christmas.
I feel like this song is about a man struggling from low self-esteem, and he's trying to find good in life rather than just looking at everything from the bad angle
Actually, I'm confused for this one. I think it is about a man who refuses to ask any questions, so he doesn't know no answers.
Neil said himself that this song was about agnosticism.
