Everything to Lose Lyrics
Happy on my own and nothing really bothered me
I had desires to see the world, jump out of planes and fly
I loved to be alive, but I was not afraid to die
I loved to be alive but I was not afraid to die…
I could carry on with no need to explain
It didn’t matter if I ever made it home
Could go too fast, drink all night and dance alone
I loved to be alive but I was not afraid to die
I loved to be alive but I was not afraid to die
Since I met you, I’ve got everything to lose
Could walk away, not think ahead and had no plans to keep
No hand to hold no one to bring down with me
I wouldn’t see the worst and it only hurts me
I loved to be alive but I was not afraid to die
Since I met you I’ve got everything to lose
I love this song. I really think that the song is about her truly moving on from the death of her father. It could also be about finding a new love, but then again, everybody thought that, "Don't Believe In Love", was about Dido not believing in love. So, I'm going to go with the deeper meaning and say it's about her moving on from her father's death. I love her hidden meanings in songs, that and her voice with the melodies just makes her such a good artist. That's why I made her the Empress of Happily Melancholy. She owns that title. :) -> http://happilymelancholy.blogspot.com/2010/05/empress-of-happily-melancholy-dido.html
I am quoting Dido here:
" It's a song that puts us all in a good mood. It's a true love song really, even though it's talking about that fear you can get when you actually really love someone and have finally got something real to lose."
So apparently the lyrics are pretty self-explanatory. The song underlines the ways in which true love brings meaning to one's life.. it's about how commitment nurtures one's life.
Dido's voice is piercingly beautiful. Great beat. Amazing song.
Man this song was wasted in Sex and the City 2! :(
(I loved to be alive but I was not afraid to die) this is the whole point of the song. If we don't have something in life to live for we are not afraid to die and nothing is rly important when we find THAT THING everything seems to make sense. Only love can make us like that.
