Overall Meaning

The lyrics to All's song Empty are a commentary on the state of the music industry and the way in which the media controls what music is produced and what is popular. The use of "jesus h. christ" at the beginning of the song can be interpreted as exasperation or disbelief at the state of affairs. The line "sang a song about love, but nobody buys it" refers to the fact that even music with a positive and uplifting message is often overlooked in favor of more commercial and marketable songs.


The lyrics also highlight the way in which music is commodified and sold as a product, with the focus on making a profit rather than creating meaningful art. The use of the phrase "cashbox jukebox brain control" suggests that the music industry and the media are manipulating the masses and playing to their desires in order to sell more records. The idea that "every song is perfect, and every face is perfect" reflects the homogenization of music and the lack of diversity in mainstream popular culture.


The final verse of the song speaks to the dehumanizing effects of this commercialization on the audience, who are reduced to "cold consumer zombies" with "empty eyes and MTV." The lyrics suggest that this cycle of commodification and consumption is ultimately unfulfilling and leaves individuals feeling empty and unfulfilled.
