Tom Boy brings to light an inspiring song entitled ‘Nothing to Lose.’
‘Nothing to Lose’ is a mix of compelling male vocals with simple instrumentation.
The song is tuneful and Tom Boy sings from the heart.
Elaborate on the song.
Sometimes it’s easier to hear the truth when it’s coming out of your own mouth. This wasn’t the case for me growing up as a closeted gay kid. Unlike all the pills I’ve taken throughout my life, this one was hard to swallow. If I didn’t have my back, how the fuck could I expect anyone else to?
I came home one day after being rejected, and something just broke in me; I stopped caring about how others would perceive my sexuality. At that moment, I grabbed my guitar, picked a few notes, and word-vomited this succinct hype-song that also just happened to be universal; talking yourself out of a self-loathing, pity party.
Even though these songs might sound vengeful, angry, and lost, it is still a love letter to our old bandmates and the art that we created together.
Putting everything into words and melody has been therapeutic – it’s allowed us to let the hurt, addictions, and dependency go. Come and see what it’s like to be in the middle of our storm.
Lyrics:
Senseless
You got me lookin’ like a hot mess
Bendin’ all of my rules
Just pretending they don’t exist
I just imagine that I’m something
But I’m nothing to you
Don’t take me for a guy with
Nothing to lose
Lose
So babe, just come get in the ring
Without you
I’m not winnin’
I’m just a guy with nothin’ to lose
Lose
Lose
So babe, just come get in the ring
Without you
I’m not winnin’
I’m just a guy with nothin’ to lose
Jealous
Feelin’ the pressure
Got me hard-pressed
Fendin’ off all these guys
You’re just pretendin’
They don’t exist
I just imagine that I’m something
But I’m nothing to you
Don’t take me for a guy with
Nothing to lose
Lose
So babe, just come get in the ring
Without you
I’m not winnin’
I’m just a guy with nothin’ to lose
I’m just a
I’m just a
I’m just a guy with nothing to lose
Everyone makes bets on you
And you know, no one’s wisin’ up
Ya, you play a hard game but you want the same thing
As all of us do
For someone like me to call you out
Lose
Lose
So babe, just come get in the ring
Without you
I’m not winnin’
I’m just a guy with nothin’ to lose
Lose
Lose
So babe, just come get in the ring
Cause without you
I’m not winnin’
I’m just a guy with nothin’ to lose
I’m just a–
I’m just a–
Just a guy with nothing to lose
