i also agree thebodiesobtained, but i wouldn't call it true happiness. the song's bittersweet, like the title, having nothing can be sweet because you are completely free but it is still depressing to just have nothing. to me the song sounds depressing in general, but there's something oddly sweet sounding in the little guitar solo, no?
"Sweet nothing" is just an expression that's been around for ages. It's not meant to be taken literally. Does anyone really believe that having nothing is "sweet"? On what planet is this? Surely the phrase is being used ironically here.
