Letra de
Nothingman

La canción Nothingman es una pista de Pearl Jam de su álbum Vitalogy, lanzado en 1994. Según el bajista Jeff Ament, la canción fue escrita casi en su totalidad durante una sola sesión de ensayo. Él trajo la progresión de acordes a la banda, y Vedder empezó a cantar de inmediato. La letra habla sobre la efimeridad del amor y la importancia de las elecciones personales. El término nothingman es una reflexión sobre cómo las acciones o la falta de el ... las pueden definir a una persona. Ver más [+]

Once divided, nothing left to subtract
Some words when spoken can't be taken back
Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking
Future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking
Caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go

Nothingman, nothingman
Isn't it something? Nothingman

She once believed in every story he had to tell
One day she stiffened, took the other side
Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell
One just escapes, one's left inside the well
And he who forgets will be destined to remember oh oh oh oh

Nothingman, nothingman
Isn't it something? Nothingman
Oh, she don't want him (she don't want him)
Oh, she won't feed him, after he's flown away
Oh, into the sun, yeah into the sun
Burn, burn, burn burn

Nothingman, nothingman
Isn't it something? Nothingman
Nothingman, nothingman
Coulda been something, nothingman

oooooooo uoooooo
