This song plays on the word “nothing” and how “nothing” can itself be a thing, or even a goal.
Certain types of Buddhism have a concept of “nothingness” as something of a goal. They recognize, as Destroyer’s lyrics point out, that the more you examine anything the more you realize it doesn’t exist.
The Man in Black’s Blues Lyrics
When you’re looking for nothing
And you find nothing
And nothing
Turns out as planned
When you’re looking for something In the palm of your hand
It disappears
Before your very eyes
When you’re looking for nothing
And you find
Nothing is more beautiful
Than anything you ever knew
When you’re looking for something
That you know is through
It’s like it flies away
Before your very eyes
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for?
Knock knock
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for?
Knock knock
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for?
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for? (It’s like)
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for? (It flies)
Knock knock (Away)
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for? (Before)
Knock knock (Your very eyes)
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for?
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for? (It's like)
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for? (It flies)
Knock knock (Away)
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for? (Before)
Knock knock (Your very eyes)
Knock knock
Did you say who you come for?
Knock knock
