Nothing - Millencolin

There’s a king upon the throne

He’s the king there all alone

He seems troubled and a little sad

Just when you thought that he was glad

To be the ruler of the earth

Could it be, it wasn’t worth

More than nothing?

From the day that he was born

In his side there was a thorn

He just couldn’t find the key

To be happy and be free

He felt forced to wear the crown

Slowly it will drag him down

Into nothing

One more drink and you are learning how to fly

Everything turns perfect once you reach the sky

Pop another pill, don’t wanna leave your dream

Forget about the days of when you swam upstream

And don’t you care too much 'bout you feel inside

It is probably nothing

I never told you 'bout my dream

How I saw us as a team

We would free the universe

With a chorus and a verse

We were gonna make a change

But like how every dream is strange

It’s also nothing

What was goin' through your mind

What kind of truth did you find

What did you see from the top

That would finally make you stop

Did it give peace to your soul

Like you reached your final goal

Or just nothing?

One more drink and you are learning how to fly

Everything turns perfect once you reach the sky

Pop another pill, don’t wanna leave your dream

Forget about the days of when you swam upstream

And don’t you care too much 'bout what you feel inside

It is probably nothing

On and on, on the road, never-ending

Keep a smile up, make sure you’re pretending

It’s been a long while since you ate the bait

On and on, you’re no fish in the water

But you’re slowly on your way to the slaughter

Before you know, everything’s too late

One more drink and you are learning how to fly

Everything turns perfect once you reach the sky

Pop another pill, don’t wanna leave your dream

Forget about the days of when you swam upstream

And as I hear your song play on the radio

A certain sadness in me always starts to grow

Will I ever understand the reason why

The melodies make me both wanna smile and cry

And all the things you make me feel inside

Are anything but nothing
