Empty
Ünloco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look outside and see that everything is perfect
Except for me, I'll always be the one who sits and stares

And now and then, you're just my friend
Somone I could talk to
And it's killing me, it's just killing me

[Chorus]
I feel so empty inside
'Cause I'm a freak in your eyes
I feel so empty inside
And it's killing me

I look outside and see that everything is different
You'll never see inside of me, inside just who I am

And now and then you're just my friend
Someone I could talk to
And it's killing me, it's just killing me

[Chorus]

I, I'm outside looking in
I look into your eyes and see that you are perfect
Except for me, except for me
I feel so empty inside

'Cause I'm a freak in your eyes
I feel so empty inside
I feel so




I feel so
I, I feel so empty inside

Overall Meaning

The song "Empty" by Ünloco is a powerful and emotional expression of personal struggles with self-worth and belonging. The lyrics vividly convey the feeling of being an outsider looking in on a seemingly perfect world. The singer sees everything around them as perfect, except for themselves. They are constantly reminded of their own inadequacies and feel like they don't fit in with those around them. This sense of isolation is amplified by the fact that the person they are speaking to is someone they consider a friend, but who sees them as a "freak" in their eyes.


The chorus, "I feel so empty inside/ 'Cause I'm a freak in your eyes," is particularly impactful. It speaks to the deep pain and hurt that can come from feeling like you don't belong. The repetition of "I feel so empty" reinforces the depth of this feeling, while the addition of "in your eyes" highlights the importance of how others perceive us. It can be especially painful when those we care about don't see us the way we want to be seen.


In conclusion, "Empty" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the universal human experience of struggling with self-worth and belonging. It is a reminder that even when everything around us seems perfect, we can still feel empty on the inside.
