song-cover

everything means nothing to me

in AlbumFigure 8

someone found the future as a statue in a fountain at

attention looking backward

in a bowl of water wishes with a blue songbird on his

shoulder who keeps singing over everything

everything means nothing to me

i picked up the song and found my picture

in the paper the reflection in the water shouted

";are you men still trying to salute

people from a time when he was

everything he's supposed to be?";

everything means nothing to me

About this Song

everything means nothing to me by Elliott Smith delves deep into themes of existentialism, personal struggles, and disillusionment. The song is imbued with a sense of melancholy and introspection as Smith grapples with feelings of emptiness and meaninglessness. Through haunting melodies and evocative lyrics, he portrays the internal turmoil and soul-searching that many experience but few can articulate. Key moments in the song include the repeated phrase 'everything means nothing to me,' which underscores the profound sense of disconnection and despair that Smith is expressing. This song is an intimate look into the artist's psyche, offering listeners a poignant reflection on the struggle to find purpose and significance.
