- Nothingman Lyrics / with translationsonce 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 'a lightnin'...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...
nothingman...
nothingman...
isn't it something?
nothingman...
oh, she don't want him...
oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away...
oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...
burn...burn...
nothingman...
nothingman...
isn't it something?
nothingman...
nothingman...
coulda' been something...
nothingman...
oh...ohh...ohh...
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 'a lightnin'...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...
and he who forgets...will be destined to remember...
nothingman...
nothingman...
isn't it something?
nothingman...
oh, she don't want him...
oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away...
oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...
burn...burn...
nothingman...
nothingman...
isn't it something?
nothingman...

When we think about the deeper meaning of the song, Pearl Jam's 'Nothingman' precisely captures the ups and downs of a broken romance. The artist paints the picture through the metaphor of 'nothingman' showing the overwhelming and getting rid of the past wounds. The lyrics of the song reflect mainly angst, heartbreak, despair, reflection, and solitude. On the other hand, the piece underlines the loss of connection, isolation, and despair along with regret and inevitability, while escape and transformation are also highlighted. The lyrics present the same themes of regret, loss, and emotional turmoil, which might be quite strong for children and teenagers. Besides that, there are some hints to actions that are if not directly harmful, then at least very dangerous, like 'Caught a bolt of lightning, curse the day he let it go' and 'Burn, burn' that could be interpreted as inviting some self-destructiveness. All these factors indicate a rating of PG-13, thus, parents are advised to be informed about the mature content.

The song title is enough to make me to wonder what life will like without a partner. I know what it's like to be in a prison cell and with only had the shadows to form a face on the wall. Only one.
