About This Track

‘Nothingness’ by Editors is an alternative track from the album ‘Violence’, released in 2018. The lyrics are full of self-deprecating refusals and a wary, pleading tension, moving between not chasing easy value and confronting insecurity as a kind of trick. A recurrent “we” frames the song like a shared stalemate, waiting, weighed down, then letting things escape. The final lines keep that sense of suspended expectation, as if the relationship between control and surrender never quite settles, leaving the speaker trapped in what they call nothingness.

"Nothingness" is a track by Editors, from the album Violence, released 9th March 2018. The track is 5:06 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Editors.

Lyrics

Nothingness

I'm not mining for gold
But insecurity
Fooled by a trick of the light
Are you there?
I'm not breaking the mould
I wouldn't fill it
Hold my life in your hands
If you dare

We wait, weighed down
We let it all escape
We let it go, let it go
We let it go

We let it go

We wait in line for nothingness
We wait in line for nothingness
This angel needs some tenderness
This angel needs some tenderness
We wait in line for nothingness
We wait in line for nothingness
This angel needs some tenderness
This angel needs some tenderness, tenderness

I'm not here for the show
I'm not buying it
Five steps back from the past
If you dare

We wait, weighed down
We let it all escape
We let it go, we let it go
We let it go

We wait in line for nothingness
We wait in line for nothingness
This angel needs some tenderness
This angel needs some tenderness
We wait in line for nothingness
We wait in line for nothingness
This angel needs some tenderness
This angel needs some tenderness, tenderness...

We wait in line for nothingness
We wait in line for nothingness
This angel needs some tenderness
This angel needs some tenderness
We wait in line for nothingness
We wait in line for nothingness
This angel needs some tenderness
This angel needs some tenderness, tenderness
