Nothing is a 2003 Canadian philosophical comedy-drama film directed by Vincenzo Natali. It stars David Hewlett and Andrew Miller.
The film tells the story of two good friends and housemates, Andrew, an agoraphobic travel agent, and Dave, a loser who works in an office. Dave is fired from his job after his girlfriend frames him for embezzlement, Andrew is falsely accused of attempted child molestation, and their house is to be demolished by day's end. Both of them hide inside the house as police, city officials, and outraged neighbors surround it. Dave and Andrew open their front door and discover that the entire world beyond their house is gone, replaced with a featureless white void.
Eventually, after a simple test reveals that the nothingness surrounding them holds a flat, featureless, and somewhat springy surface "like tofu", they set out across the empty plane in order to explore their new surroundings, leaving items behind as a means of getting back. After running out of items to leave as a trail, they lose track of their path. Wandering leads them to what appears to be another house, but they have simply wandered back home.
The scarecrow is covered in those he once swore to appose
A stitched on smile, devoid of all emotion
The coast is clear for closure
The coast is clear for closure
Careful there’s a crack in your cross-like composure
Careful there’s a crack in your cross-like composure
It’s that time again, can you taste the tension?
Finding my flaws at the tip of your tongue
Your ego is in need of attention
You don’t deserve this, don’t let anybody ever tell you that you’re
worthless
She waves her word-filled hands
Can you fight cornered?
Alright, I’ll bite this tongue ‘till morning
Turn off the lights
Smile so assuring
Can you fight cornered?
Alright, I’ll bite this tongue ‘till morning
Turn off the lights
Because crying (crying), crying sure helped during
This is what you mean to me, Nothing
This is what you are to me, a fucking bitch
Is what you are to me, Absolutely Nothing At all
Horrified, by your bullshit
Sell your lies, a dozen a dime
Whore If I’d, bought your bullshit
I’d be poor, I’d be
Horrified, by your bullshit
Sell your lies, a dozen a dime
Whore If I’d, bought your bullshit
I’d be poor, I’d be
Finding my flaws at the tip of your tongue
Your ego is in need of attention
You don’t deserve this, don’t let anybody ever tell you that you’re
worthless
She waves her word-filled hands
Can you fight cornered?
Alright, I’ll bite this tongue ‘till morning
Turn off the lights
Smile so assuring
Can you fight cornered?
