Meat Puppets - Nothing Lyrics






I fall towards a flash of light
That burns the seed of life away
No thing is changed
Nothing arranged
No thing will ever be

There's no place
Clear dry space
I'm a hole in this time
In a time full of holes
You see it
I'm nothing

My heart is gone I missed the point
I sleep to dream I'm wide awake
Nothing is near or far away
Nothing awaits to be

Here I stand
Tongue in hand
I'm a hole in this time
In a time full of holes
You see it

I'm nothing
I think perhaps I'll live to lie
Awake to fall asleep to fall
Into a trance in which I dream
I lived and walked upon

    One of my favorite songs ever

  3. M.... D....

  4. M.... K....

    Searched for this on Spotify. Not only is this not there, but No Joke! isn't listed. Crazy!

    M.... K....

    It might be out of print like Forbidden Places.

  5. o.... H....

  6. A.... ....

    My dad showed me this band when I was younger, like 12.

  7. C.... W....

    Cr vo, bu I lo th Peat Muppets.

  8. h.... ....

    I identify; I am nothing ,you see it, a hole in this time in a time full of holes.

  9. L.... P....

    Seen them in the late eighties at some hole in the wall bar on Mill Ave in Tempe when it was a sleepy college town.....

    L.... P....

    Saw them open for Black Flag in Providence in 84.

    L.... P....

    jumpmasterjm Those shows were tons of fun I'm sure. I saw them at Bogarts in Cincinnati several times. Treasured musical memories definitely! So grateful

    L.... P....

    jumpmasterjm Wish I coulda seen Andy wood live

    L.... P....

    John Regan I think my friend saw them in 84. I asked him how it was and he said "Twang!!" . I laughed. He liked it . I guess that was around meat puppets 2 time.

    L.... P....

    John Regan Jockey Club had great punk bands . It was across the river from here in Cincinnati in Newport, KY. I believe black flag played there.

  10. F.... ....

    masterpiece!

  11. C.... C....

    SO, what do you do after listening to this,

    C.... C....

    smoke some more

    C.... C....

    You start the search for more

    C.... C....

    replay the song or progress to the next one in the album.

  12. L.... K....

    CYCLING SONG !

  13. L.... C....

    sound a little bit like STP, isn't it ?

    L.... C....

    hi @Kirreu, like you said, that was an observation, not criticism... fair enough, music sometimes it's contagious. Greetings from Argentina

    L.... C....

    Los Cavernícolas Una bronca que nadie tenga idea de Meat Puppets acá.

    L.... C....

    Los Cavernícolas. STP? Not at all. But it does have some Butthole Surfers leanings, bc of Paul Leary.

    L.... C....

    I always associate Meat Puppets with Butthole Surfers- not sure why, but 2 good bands

    L.... C....

    funny how all the comments are so triggered and negative, you were just making an observation. It's not like that's a bad thing wtf?? I atlwast hear a little stp in the chorus!

  14. J.... B....

    Call me crazy, but this is my favorite song of theirs.

    J.... B....

    I don't blame ya! I put it on repeat!!! No joke is my favorite album. I can listen to it a hundred times through, and I still love it!!!

    J.... B....

    Thanks for setting that straight- Cobbler off this album is my favorite

    J.... B....

    Cool. I haven't listened to whole album yet. Can't wait to love more meat puppets songs. I saw them a bunch up until 95. Got sidetracked with bad habits and sorta forgot about them. Sorry curt.

    J.... B....

    Or then people have their own taste, could that be possible?

    J.... B....

    @The Blissful ZombieInteresting- I'd never noticed that or considered that it was a "thing". However, for this particular posting of Jason Behnke's, it may actually not be what you suggest. It is a super catchy song. Now, I have a friend and long-time admirer of the Meat Puppets' music, who (to me contrarianly) insists he loves their first album and thinks it's one of their best. Now THAT if I did not know the guy and if I'd seen that posted would come off to me as consistent with that "trollish" phenom you describe. Yet, I think he loves the energy and humor of the puppets screaming unintelligible lyrics amidst a thrash of cacophony which is their guitar, bass and drums accompaniment. Anyway this song, Nothing, has got the nice riff the philosophical title/lyric and some catchy tunage to recommend it. So, I can see that it would be someone's favorite Meat Puppets song, even if it's not quite mine.

  15. r.... b....

    geiler song,wie fast alles von den dreien

    r.... b....

    wusste nicht dass überhaupt Deutsche meat puppets hören xD schön jemanden so zu treffen!

  16. M.... A....

    anyone who says this song sucks can suck my meat puppet
    humans are humans not emo, black, white, or anything
    we are HUMA

  17. T.... ....

    Shut it!

  18. s.... m....

    I always wNt a miller genuine draft when i hear this...

  19. a.... ....

    I am a hole in a time full of holes.

    PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT UP EH??!?

  20. K.... ....

    BRIZA DO CARAI VERY FUCKKKKKKK

  21. A.... S....

    This song totally kicks it.. second song on album and wow just blows you away..

  22. W.... C....

    Musicians back then made their money by doing tours, which you can't pirate. Royalties made by selling records were a little extra pocket money on the side in comparison, and most people got boot-legged music anyway back then. The multibillion dollar music industry doesn't need a single cent of my money.

    W.... C....

    Love the Vivi picture.

  23. H.... O....

    I'm glad your killer of a son enjoys music made by peaceful beatniks.

  24. b.... s....

    This song kicks ass, then after it's finished kicking ass, it goes out drinking all night, messes with some skanky broads, comes home at sun up and keeps drinking and drops a tab !! God damn!!

    b.... s....

    It's my favorite Album of theirs. It's really the only one. I listen to.. I like the others but I get too used to albums. This isnt one of them.

    b.... s....

    I really wish CoBain got to hear this.

  25. L.... M....

    that's how stuff goes sometimes man.

  26. C.... ....

    Brings me back!! Awesome music!!!

  27. r.... ....

    It's wired. My dad had this album and I listened to it when I was young, so all these songs are implanted in my brain, and now that I'm older it's wierd listening to this knowing how each song goes.

  28. t.... ....

    fuckin RIPS

  29. A.... P....

    I am not sure where the debate started, but it has been proven recently that simple amounts of marijuana can dismantle even the most deadly cancers.

  30. F.... ....

    I wrote that 4 years ago... Alot have happened in that time ;)
    Guess i'm the junkie looser now... :P

  31. w.... e....

    Fuck you weed can also cure and help alot of things in your body

  32. T.... ....

    i am glad i clicked on this!!

  33. t.... ....

    HOLY FUCK THIS ROCKS

  34. c.... ....

    @igunfuckedyourmom I know of losers who have a wife and 2 kids and a 50-hour work week. But You have a point. Smokers come in all sorts, and they are in all layers of Society. The real losers are sad ignorants the people who immediately identify the smoker as a loser.

  35. M.... S....

    @igunfuckedyourmom hugs from venice - italy

  36. c.... ....

    It's more than likely that they kick so much ass:)

  61. Z.... S....

    Does anybody ever notice there arent any haters on these vids at all. That may just be because the Meat Puppets kick so much ass there just arent any haters at all. Love these guys.

  62. E.... D....

  63. b.... ....

    THANK GOD
    I've been looking for thins for months

  64. A.... ....

    if you want some more meat puppets i'd be more than happy to send you some. i'm not gonna bother uploading any more music (using my other account now) as youtube has decided to be lame & block most of it. just say if you need any music sent to you. although i suggest buying some MP stuff, they more than deserve the money ;D
