Nothing to Lose Lyrics

Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
I’d always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone

There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the...

   I think this song is about A 17 year old boy who lives in Saskatchewan, (based on a true story) that was tormented so many times, day after day. Then he had enough, people kept saying he should kill himself. So he did,

   I myself thing that this an amazing song. The entire song is about bullying, and how it affects those who experience it. The 17 year old boy in this song has obviously been bullied day after day, till it gets to the point where he felt like is "life" has no meaning, and commit suicide. I think everybody has a meaning in this world. Anyone who reads this that is bullied and feels the way this boy did, I'm telling you, you do have a meaning. So don't commit suicide because there are ways to stop it. If you don't want to feel like someone who goes crying to their parents, then stand up for yourself. Don't pay attention to bullies. Ignore them. I am an 11 year old girl I was bullied before And there are many people who were too So do something about it

   The song is about how ppl bully to much and go to far with it. It says that there's this guy who is 17 and he is always bullied, his notebook is stolen which has all his feelings, he eats his lunches alone in the bathroom and all that and then one day it pushes him to far and he commits suicide. It is a great song because it leaves you with something and it is really honest (I can really relate to it except that I'm a 3 year old girl) ppl you shouldn't push ppl tht far to suicide because you r slowly killing them every day

   The guy is misunderstood and no one is nice to him and he has no friends. His peers bully him at school for nothing and it just gets to him. When he is in the hallway, the kids push him around and steal his notebook which is filled with all his feelings. Thats basically the last contact he has with people because when they take his notebook he runs off into the garage at school and commits suicide.Like the lyrics "there's nothing to gain, but the days don't seem to change. There's nothing to lose, my notebook will explain. There's noting to gain, and I just died today"
   
   
   so basiclly this song is just about how bullying does affect people and people do go to far with bullying people which leads the victim to feeling worthless and like no one loves them so "there's nothing to lose" if they die.

   This song is about a 17 year old boy who all his life he was bullyied by his peers, and one day one of his classmates said to him "noone likes you, why don't you just go kill yourself". He hung himself after school that day.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   This song is about a sad loner guy who has no friends and isn't accepted by anyone so in the end he shoots himself. Then there's the child's help phone thing at the end of the video. DON'T KILL YOURSELF!!!
