$4 Vic / Nothing But You + Me (FTL) Lyrics

Something good that I'd die here for
Something great that I'd live here for
Something fly that I'd write for you
Something wrong that I'd bite you for
Something sick that you'd cure me of
Something said to make sure you're loved
Some of us cannot trust no one
There's nothing left here but you and me
Nothing left here but you and me
Nothing left here but you and me
Nothing left here but you and me
Nothing left here but you and me
Nothing left here but you and me

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did El-P say about "$4 Vic / Nothing But You + Me (FTL)"?
Genius Answer

The first song I wrote for the record, in 2008 after my friend [Camu Tao] passed away. I was in a pretty dark place. For me, it was about acknowledging and respecting the elements of weirdness, darkness and self-destruction I had learned to know so well and saying goodbye to them. It’s about deciding that enough is enough and that I’m going to live a different way and not let those things dominate me. It’s also about wearing that stuff proudly. Not being ashamed of being weak or of being confused, but it simply being time to move on from that. It’s about saying ‘I know darkness, so what the fuck are you going to do to me?’

What has El-P said about "Nothing But You + Me (FTL)"?
Genius Answer

I had this verse from the weareallgoingtoburninhellmeggamixx2. It’s the one thing I wanted on this record that had been heard before. I just felt like I wanted to end the record with a statement of hope, dark as it may be in context. For me it’s about finding strength in a hopeless place.
