Cover art for Nothing From Something lyrics by Offspring, The

It sounds to me like a dude/girl who's had enough of whatever crap he's/she's had in his/her life that's bugging him/her and it seems like it's just not ending and he/she is gonna do something about it whether through violence, drinking, self mutilation (cutting or other things), or suicide. Either way, they're tired of it and they're not gonna go out and face it head on ("never stop running"). It's a sad song that has all too much basis in reality. I've known several people who have decided to cut themselves including my sister, and at one time I was hitting myself with hammers (I decided that scars and scabs were too obvious, body pain could be anything, not necciarily self-harm. Logic of a depressed person). It doesn't really cause anything bad, this music, it simply tells a story of misfortune. No more evil than Dateline NBC.
