Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Don't get stuck in the past
Say your favorite things at mass
Tell your mother that you love her
And go out of your way for others
Sit beneath a light that suits ya
And look forward to a brighter future
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Sink as far down as you can be pulled up
Happiness really ain't all about luck
Let your demeanor be your deep down self
And don't sacrifice your life for your health
When you speak, speak sincere
And believe me friend, everyone will hear
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Bring your own two cents
Never borrow them from someone else
Buy yourself a flower every hundredth hour
Throw your hair down from your lonely tower
And if, and if
You find yourself in the family way
Give the kid more than what you got in your day
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Never let a clock tell you what you got time for
It only goes around, goes around, goes around
Take your family name for your own great sins
'Cause each day is where it all begins
And
Don't give up too quick
You only get one line, you better make it stick
If we give ourselves to every breath
Then we're all in the running for a hero's death
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
Life ain't always empty
That was the year of the sneer now the real thing's here
The lyrics of "A Hero's Death" by FONTAINES D.C. encourages listeners to move on from the past and embrace the present with positivity and love for oneself and others. The repeated line "Life ain't always empty" signifies that life can sometimes feel meaningless or unfulfilled, but that there are moments of joy and beauty that make it all worthwhile. The verse "Say your favorite things at mass / Tell your mother that you love her / And go out of your way for others" urges listeners to show appreciation and love for those around them, while "Sit beneath a light that suits ya / And look forward to a brighter future" suggests a need for self-care and hope for the future.
The lines "Sink as far down as you can be pulled up / Happiness really ain't all about luck" convey the message that experiencing sadness or difficulty can ultimately lead to growth and happiness, and that one should not rely solely on luck or external circumstances for happiness. "Let your demeanor be your deep down self / And don't sacrifice your life for your health" emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself, and not sacrificing one's own happiness or desires for the sake of physical health or societal expectations. Finally, the last verse "If we give ourselves to every breath / Then we're all in the running for a hero's death" encourages listeners to fully live in the present, take risks, and live their lives to the fullest.

Accept and take responsibility for your own mistakes
'Cause each day is where it all begins
Every new day is an opportunity to start anew
Don't give up too quick
Persevere through tough times
You only get one line, you better make it stick
You only get one shot at life, make it count
If we give ourselves to every breath
If we fully embrace each moment
Then we're all in the running for a hero's death
We can all live a life that leaves a positive impact on others
That was the year of the sneer now the real thing's here
The time for cynicism and pessimism is over, it's time for action

Life ain’t always empty
Don’t get stuck in the past
Say your favourite things at mass
Tell your mother that you love her
And go out of your way for others
Sit beneath a light that suits ya
And look forward to a brighter future
(Ooh) Life ain’t always empty
Sink as far down as you can be pulled up
Happiness really ain’t all about luck
Let your demeanour be your deep down self
And don’t sacrifice your life for your health
When you speak, speak sincere
And believe me friend, everyone will hear
(Ooh) Life ain’t always empty
Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap
Bring your own two cents

Buy yourself a flower every hundredth hour
Throw your hair down from your lonely tower
And if, and if you find yourself in the family way
Give the kid more than what you got in your day
(Ooh) Life ain’t always empty
Ah, never let a clock tell you what you got time for
It only goes around, goes around, goes around
Take your family name for your own great sins
'Cause each day is where it all begins
And don’t give up too quick
You only get one line, you better make it stick
If we give ourselves to every breath
Then we’re all in the running for a hero’s death
(Ooh) Life ain’t always empty
Ooh-ooh
Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap

This song is every mantra I say to myself when I’m feeling depressed. Focus on gratitude, servitude, sincerity, and look don’t take it all too seriously.
