Description
When everything around you is collapsing - from office towers to football hopes - and your heart is inexplicably calm, it means that balance has been achieved somewhere nearby. It's the kind where you don't even need a manicure, and the boss can call three times if he wants - there's no room for hustle in this warmth. The world might be going down the drain, but inside, a quiet voice whispers, "nothing matters." Not because of apathy, but because everything is finally in its place. It's like a morning without coffee, but with your favorite voice in a half-sleep. Like a dance without rhythm, where bodies still align. Life has just become soft, like silk on the skin, and if it turns upside down tomorrow - so be it. There's still something worth staying for in this sweet "it doesn't matter."
Lyrics and translation
Original
Oh, oh, oh.
Mm.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, woah.
Uh huh.
Oh. Oh yeah. Oh. Oh.
What the hell am I doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh.
Now the skies could fall. Not even if my boss should call.
The world seems so very small.
'Cause nothing even matters at all.
Seems nothing even matters. See, nothing even matters at all.
Nothing even matters.
-Nothing even matters at all. -Should never leave without alcohol.
Your love makes me feel ten feet tall.
Without it, I go through withdrawal.
'Cause nothing even matters at all.
Nothing even matters.
Nothing even matters at all.
Nothing even matters.
-Love me better. -These buildings could drift out to sea.
Some natural catastrophe. Still there's no place I'd rather be.
'Cause nothing even matters to me.
See, nothing even matters.
See, nothing even matters to me.
Nothing even matters. Nothing even matters to me.
Your part of my identity.
I sometimes have a tendency to look at you religiously, baby.
'Cause nothing even matters to me.
Nothing even matters.
Nothing even matters to me.
Said it don't matter, baby, babe.
No, you won't find me at no store. I have no time for manicures.
With you, it's never either/or.
'Cause nothing even matters no more.
See, nothing, it don't matter.
See, nothing even matters no more. Nothing even matters.
-Nothing even matters no more.
-Now my team just scored and made it to the final four.
Just repossessed my four by four.
'Cause nothing even matters no more. Nothing even matters.
Nothing even matters.
Nothing even matters.
-Oh, oh, oh.
-To me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me.
Nothing else but you.
-One more time.
-You ever change my mind.
You, you, you.
It doesn't matter.
It don't matter no more. At all. Nothing even matters at all.
Nothing even matters at all. Doesn't matter.
Not for you.
Man, -well sing that. -Nothing even matters.
-Oh lord. -But you.
Love it, babe.
-Love it, babe. -Oh.
-Love it, babe. -For you. For you, for you.
Nothing even matters but you.
But you, you, you, you.
-You. -You. You. Nothing but you.
Nothing but you.
Nothing but you.
Nothing but you. Nothing but you. Nothing but you. Nothing but you. Nothing but you.
Nothing but you.
-Nothing but you. -Nothing but you.
You, you.
-Nothing but you. -Nothing but you. Nothing but you.
Nothing but you.
-Nothing but you. Only you. -Nothing but you.
-Nothing. -You, you.
Oh.
Nothing but you.
-Nothing but you. -Nothing but you.
-Nothing but you. -Nothing but you.
-Nothing but you.
-I love -you.
-Nothing but you.
Nothing but you.
Nothing but you.
-Nothing nothing baby. -Nothing but you. Nothing but you.
-Nothing but you. -Nothing but you. Nothing but you.
Nothing but you.
Nothing but you.
-Please, please. -Nothing but you.
Nothing.
-Nothing but you. -For you.
Nothing but you.
