Elliott Smith - Everything Means Nothing To Me Lyrics






Someone found the future as a statue in a fountain
At attention, looking backward in a pool of water
Wishes with a blue songbird on his shoulder
Who keeps singing over everything
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
I picked up the song and found my picture in the paper
The reflection in the water showed an iron man still trying to salute
People from a time when he was everything he's supposed to be
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me

Elliott Smith Everything Means Nothing To Me Comments
  1. S.... ....

    Can someone please tell me which scene this played again?? I forgot and it was so good!!

    S.... ....

    Mr Robot s3 end of episode 4

  2. n.... ....

    Mr robot ended and now I'm here listening to this cuz seriously, now everything means nothing to me..

  3. S.... S....

    The greatest song Paul McCartney never wrote! :)

  4. N.... ....

    This is in my top 100 songs of all time list for sure

  5. S.... R....

    If everything means nothing to you then nothing means everything for you?

  6. N.... ....

    Listen... I am not Joe Hawley, okay?

  7. j.... m....

    crying to this song is definitely an experience.
    (btw i made an acapella cover of 'between the bars' ^^)

  8. s.... b....

    which Elliot to thank for the song? BOTH!

  9. L.... F....

    ABSINTHE?

  10. M.... L....

    Damn right this should have 1 million views

  11. g.... ....

    I fail to hear the beauty, sadness or creativity here. Does this mean that people who love this won't adore Waltz #1 like I do? If I fall in love with this tune.....I'll check back in.

  12. S.... G....

    Great song about nothingness. Point blank.

  13. F.... ....

    Yesssss!

  14. S.... T....

    Elliott is the reincarnation of Vicent Van Gogh; he paints songs of sorrow with his guitar strums and melancholic voice.

  15. A.... ....

    I am not Joe Hawley

  16. N.... N....

    Fuck society.

  17. e.... e....

    Pazzesca...

  18. A.... S....

    this is the music i listen to when im at school. I hate people. my ex girlfreind left me for being transgender and that really hurts my feelings because it makes me belive that nobody would ever want me if they knew the truth. therefore "everything means nothing to me"

    A.... S....

    It seems meaningless to say this but you will find someone who accepts you completely no matter what. You just have to be patient and to not waste occasions that life gives you from time to time. It sound so dumb but It's true, I believe in that. Wish you the best

  19. D.... S....

    Elliot Smith is my favorite songwriter but this songs too repetitive on the chorus.

  20. I.... E....

    I am not Joe Hawley

  21. D.... M....

    He was the best, I really believe that.

  22. Y.... ....

    very "A Day in the Life"

  23. A.... R....

    Just beautiful.

  24. J.... B....

    I’m going to kill myself to this song 👍🏻

    J.... B....

    I hope you're still around!

  25. T.... ....

    Love this song

  26. M.... S....

    The Alderson's family photo 😞😞😞

  27. d.... b....

    i really wish he hadn't died. it just breaks my heart.😢

  28. a.... m....

    When the drums kick my heart breaks a little ..

  29. K.... J....

    When I read the lyrics, I truly understood what he was talking about. I wonder where the water is located.........🤔 What a true storyteller 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  30. Z.... M....

    2018 & Forever. Elliott :'(

  31. J.... W....

    i was mad high listening to this yesterday, good shit

  32. L.... G....

    Rest in peace

  33. I.... M....

    sometimes i wish this was longer

  34. W.... W....

    😌😌

  35. A.... F....

    This song inspired me drawing this https://www.artstation.com/artwork/9v8bq

  36. M.... G....

    Je ressent cette intense tristesse Eliott, je la ressent.

  37. O.... D....

    Randomly placed comment about someone dead or how depressed I am 😢😭 sad faces

  38. J.... R....

    Someone found the future as a statue
    In a fountain 
    At attention looking backward in a
    Pool of water

    Wishes with a blue
    Songbird on his shoulder 
    Who keeps singing over everything

    Everything means nothing to me
    Everything means nothing to me
    Everything means nothing to me

    I picked up the song and found my picture 
    In the paper
    The reflection in the water shouted
    "Are your men still

    Trying to salute
    People from a time when he was
    Everything he's supposed to be?"

    Everything means nothing to me

  39. j.... ....

    Not to be sentimental but when I am having a tough time or any kind of personal issues and im really down somehow Elliott seems to have the right words and feelings. Love this man so much and he has got me through many a tough situation in life and im sure he will continue to. Just beautiful, thoughtful and meaningful lyrics.

  40. E.... A....

    This is not Joe Hawley

  41. A.... E....

    1:15 Pure Art starts.

  42. M.... ....

    News flash: We don't give a shit why you're here. Enjoy the song!

  43. V.... M....

    Sounds like Kelis

  44. S.... L....

    anhedonia. anhedonia. anhedonia. anhedonia. anhedonia. anhedonia. endless anhedonia.

  45. L.... M....

    everything and nothing, great concepts.

  46. M.... ....

    What a song 😍😍

  47. B.... P....

    Elliot Smith brought me here ;)

  48. P.... R....

    No words.

  49. X.... ....

    Mr robot was here

  50. A.... Z....

    Everything means dolphin to me...

  51. M.... ....

    Everything means something to 58 people

  52. J.... D....

    Elliot smith brought me here. Mr.Robot be damned.

  53. y.... l....

    Who come here because mr robot?

  54. I.... R....

    I need a ten hours version

  55. H.... S....

    Story behind the song:
    Elliott was having an argument with his friends about his future, and how he should be living. Elliott proceeded to take a knife, carve the word “NOW” into his arm, and begin writing this song and playing the piano, blood dripping on the keys and all. This song is about the stresses of his legacy, how the pressure of focusing on the future was killing him.

  56. H.... S....

    There ain't no other song which could describe this empty feeling inside of me.

  57. �.... M....

    Elliot X Darlene forever.

  58. Z.... M....

    when those drums kick in........wow.....

  59. L.... S....

    This song has meaning passed Mr. Robot, as anyone who heard it and loved it years before the episode of Mr. Robot aired on television can attest.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love the show. It is different and god knows we need more shows like this but...I dunno...this song holds a very privileged spot in my mind-brain and i fear linking it to a fictional character takes away from the song somehow.

  60. B.... P....

    우울증에 좋다는 카카오닙스를 아무리 많이 먹어도 ... 내 우울함은 사라지지 않는다. 차라리 이 노래가 나의 유일한 처방전이다.

  61. z.... n....

    genuine genius ...

  62. �.... �....

    Саундтрек из сериала Мистер Робот в 3 сезоне,4 серии,кому интересно!)

  63. r.... a....

    RIP I love you Elliot

  64. g.... k....

    ten years ago

  65. N.... W....

    DON'T READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DON'T POST THIS TO AT LEAST THREE VIDEOS OR YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS DON'T STOP THIS IS SO SCARY PUT THIS ON AT LEAST FIVE VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVER NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN THE BIG LETTERS

  66. 9.... ....

    So beautiful yet so melancholic.

  67. n.... ....

    Love the song but not the sentimental moment I found it in

  68. s.... ....

    DARLENNNNEEEE

    s.... ....

    *places polaroid on shelf*

  69. J.... W....

    this track does it for me every time since the first I ever heard it. I was fortunate (/considerate?) enough to meet Elliott by the album, & Figure 8 was maybe three or four in for me.
    I remember thinking that this is, so obviously obviously, an excellent and tidal song, but I felt like he had went rather hard for a dramatic spectacle and I thought he is mostly above that. I think it was just too easy. I didnt want anyone to be able to express anything I felt so deeply in a way could be understood by just about anybody who could make a small commitment to listen well even just once. Maybe. Idk. But I love it. I hope he didnt really mean it like it sounds. Hes always defying his own mysticism or anyway baffling me with his longterm suicide goals.. or whatever.
