Citizens - Everything For Nothing

Chorus / Description : The song Everything For Nothing by Citizens reflects on the emptiness of pursuing worldly success and material gain. It highlights the futility of striving for validation and significance without a deeper purpose or connection with God. While it does not directly reference biblical verses, the lyrics convey a sense of seeking fulfillment in the wrong places and the need to find true meaning in a relationship with God.

Everything For Nothing Lyrics

Head, up in the clouds
Wings of an eagle, heart of a coward
Under a spell, take down the teacher
Put on the crown, gather the gold
Well, I did what I wanted
Spinning out of control

But when, I give all I have in vain
It doesn't matter what I build if it crumbles down anyway
And though I rise up before the day
I'm doing everything for nothing just to prove I got what it takes
But it's fake, I fade

Hand, tight to the plough
All for some pleasure
But it's wearing me down
Lulled by a lie
Won't find something better
Then what's already found

But when, I give all I have in vain
It doesn't matter what I build if it crumbles down anyway
And though I rise up before the day
I'm doing everything for nothing just to prove I got what it takes

But it's fake, I can't escape
I'm getting tied up, I want to give up
I don't wanna fade, can't be erased
I gotta open up, gonna give You all my love
Everything it takes, I don't wanna fade
I don't wanna waste anymore, I've opened up my hands, You got it all
I don't wanna fade, 'cause when I fade, I'm falling faster and faster

When, I give all I have in vain
It doesn't matter what I build if it crumbles down anyway
And though I rise up before the day
I'm doing everything for nothing just to prove I got what it takes
But it's fake
I fade
