about

‘Nothing’ explores the desire to feel appreciated and taking the steps to detach yourself from people that seem like they’re glowing yet leave you in darkness. Like moths to a flame, we cling to the good in hope of erasing the reality, but the dissatisfaction of feeling like nothing can eventually swell into a yearning to feel like something.

Drawn from a past experience, ‘Nothing’ was written in 2020 and remains one of Keira’s favourite original songs. Having produced their first three singles with Molly Devine, it was only natural for Keira to work with Molly again in her creative-haven home studio. Together they layered the sweeping, expansive harmonies and mellow guitar to bring immense depth to Keira’s fourth single release. After being approached by the Otago Polytechnic, a music video was produced by Liana Elsie, a Bachelor of Design student. These both highlight the incredible collaborative opportunities available within the arts community of Dunedin.

lyrics

Say a word, say anything
I'll catch it in a bottle
And keep it under my floorboards
When the moths swarm my brain
They make you seem like you're glowing
When really I know that you're dull like them

Say it ain't true so I don't have to go
No, I don't want to go
No, I don't want to go
Tell me that you lied so they don't have to know
I don't want them to know
I don't want them to know

I just want to make you feel like something
But it's making me feel like I'm nothing

Say a word so I know
That you can hear my voice
Screaming from under your floorboards

Smash all the bottles so I don't have to hear
What I don't want to hear
What you said I'd never hear

I just want to make you feel like something
But it's making me feel like I'm nothing
I tried so hard to please you, what did I get?
I poured out my heart, I got nothing but a
cold shoulder
I don't want to feel like I'm nothing anymore
I don't want to feel like I'm nothing
I don't want to feel like I'm nothing
