“No Devotion" follows a thematic pattern a lot from their previous releases like Erode and Nadir and feels true to form to TENDER in all of the best ways. The song explains how James Cullen pleads for a clue that will help him repair a fractured relationship.

[Verse 1]
Oh, maybe that's where your mind goes
Got your head in the clouds
And if you ever come down
Maybe we can talk about it and you can tell me what you saw
Oh, maybe that's why you drift away
To dream of islands and silver haze
And getting caught amongst the waves
It's all you want, it's all you need
[Chorus]
I don’t know why you try so hard
To fill that void, you tore a part from me
You clearly meant it
You can’t embrace it
You’re ever distant
So what you missing?
I don’t know why you slipped away
I never even asked you to stay baby
Cracks appeared and we both start to fade
But we’re already broken
There's no devotion
[Verse 2]
Oh, maybe I’m really to blame
I got my head in the sand
I just can’t understand why you’re vacant and not there
Try to be patient with you but I'm too scared
Tell me what I'm doing wrong
I’m wearing thin but holding on
For you
For you
[Chorus]
I don’t know why you try so hard
To fill that void, you tore a part from me
You clearly meant it
You can’t embrace it
You’re ever distant
So what you missing?
I don’t know why you slipped away
I never even asked you to stay baby
Cracks appeared and we both start to fade
But we’re already broken
There's no devotion
[Chorus]
I don’t know why you try so hard
To fill that void, you tore a part from me
You clearly meant it
You can’t embrace it
You’re ever distant
So what you missing?
I don’t know why you slipped away
I never even asked you to stay baby
Cracks appeared and we both start to fade
But we’re already broken
There's no devotion
