James Hetfield on the Meaning of “Nothing Else Matters” First is the strong bond, which even distance can’t severe, shared between the lyricist and the listener. Second is an encouragement to accept and actually feed this feeling by having faith in the relationship (specifically in the lyricist) and by pretty much ignoring whatever else may be going on in the world, implicitly when it comes to those who may be negatively criticizing their (the lyricist’s and listener’s) feelings. If you want it all, lay it on the line Not her family, friends, her man.After all is said and done, this song is primarily about two realities/ideologies. Make it count, play it straight Go and shake it up! Lauryn Hill said the following about “Nothing Even Matters”.

Nothing even matters, woah And nothing even matters (Eh!) The boys are singing about that girl that makes them feel like nothing else in the world is important except for them, right then and right now. ZZ Top's 'Sharp Dressed Man' was the first video that was a sequel. And nothing even matters (Eh!) When I put my arms around ya, around ya, ouh-woh If you want it all, lay it on the line The Stax legend on how he cooked up 'Green Onions,' the first time he and Otis Redding saw hippies, and if he'll ever play a digital organ. And nothing even matters (Eh!) There ain't no way of knocking it over Nothing even matters Katy Perry's 'Dark Horse' was co-written by Sarah Hudson, who is a singer-songwriter and a member of the Pop group Ultraviolet Sound. See, I don't need no alcohol Did this Eagle come up with the term 'Parrothead'? What cha gotta lose? Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing to go And by five o'clock everything's dead And every third car is a cab And ignorant people sleep in their beds Like the doped white mice in the college lab And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song And we all sing along like before Hey! Nothing even matters.
