Discover the story of the song > Looking For Nothing – Aimee Mann

The protagonist, Macka, wants to have fun at an amusement park on rides like the Mouse and the Tilt-A-Whirl. However, Canada is looking for happiness from a pin-up girl. The protagonist, on the other hand, is not looking for anything specific. She just wants to enjoy the money she has earned and doesn't have any plans for the day. Everyone else at the park is waiting for something special to happen, but the protagonist doesn't have any expectations. She reflects on feeling lonely and insignificant while riding the ferris wheel. Macka goes home after the fireworks and rides, and Canada gets in trouble for being with a young girl. The protagonist concludes that she wasn't looking for trouble, money, or excitement because when you're looking for nothing, it's not the speed that is dangerous. She just wants to spend her money and move on without any drama.
