The song mixes two ideas about life (several philosophies like existentialism and stoicism share them):
1. Not only does life not last forever, but it has no ulterior meaning or motive. We live and we die for no specific objective, so we might as well enjoy the show, share our secrets, rise to our p...
[Verse 1]
Nothing, nothing
Nothing inside
And there's no reason to cry
Just fade away like love
Clutching, hanging

Free fall from the nest, then glide to the left
A shine catch the eye, so flow to the right
Flying high, realize there are no more mountains to climb
[Chorus]
When there's nothing I can do
Accept, enjoy the view
When there's nothing I can do
I smile
[Verse 2]
Minutes, seconds
And so little time

Well, whisper in my ear
Every living thing will die
From the king of the jungle to butterfly
The only sin is waiting too long
[Chorus]
When there's nothing I can do
I smile
I smile
Wide
Ooh
[Bridge]
Free fall from the nest, then glide to the left
A shine catch the eye, so flow to the right
Flying high, realize there are no more mountains to climb
[Outro]
We live, we die
We fail, we rise
I'm a vulture, so I hear goodbyes
There's no end to life
On and on, always life
On and on, always life
