Nothing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hate me if you want to, I won't lose my head
Tell me what you want, I won't believe a thing
I hear you talking loud when it's unsaid
(Imagine that)
All you ever told me, I could be nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
Won't you tell me what you mean, yeah
(What do ya?) What do ya? (What do ya?) What do ya?
Won't you tell me what you mean, yeah
(What do ya?) What do ya? (What do ya?) What do ya?
[Chorus]
All day I fight what I can't see, my nothing
Over and over, hangs over me
On the inside I gotta beat my nothing
Over and over
To know I mean something
Won't you say I mean something
Won't you say I mean something
You keep telling me I'm nothing
[Verse 2]
Got me where you want, you know you're in my head
Still whatever hold I'm in, you seen me rise through it
Is it me or is it you, I push to outdo here
(Who am I outdoing?)
Am I free proving I'm better just so I'm not less
[Pre-Chorus]
Won't you tell me what you mean, yeah
(What do ya?) What do ya? (What do ya?) What do ya?
Won't you tell me what you mean, yeah
(What do ya?) What do ya? (What do ya?) What do ya?
[Chorus]
All day I fight what I can't see, my nothing
Over and over, hangs over me
On the inside I gotta beat my nothing
Over and over
To know I mean something
Won't you say I mean something
Won't you say I mean something
Say I mean something
Won't you say I mean something
Don't keep telling me I'm nothing
Say I mean something

What did Santigold say about "Nothing"?
“Nothing” is a song I wrote about invisibility. It’s a song for anyone who has not been seen, and for me it was an opportunity to explore how that feels. I wrote “Nothing” in the midst of the Black Lives Matter protests, and in writing the lyrics I was able to release a heaviness that I did not know...
What have the artists said about the music video?
This video vignette was inspired by a Wangechi Mutu image called Snake Eater. I had seen the image years ago and when I was thinking up visual ideas for this song, this piece came to mind. I loved the idea of a being that is woman but also beyond human in some way, and even unclassifiable. A being f...
