Empty Room
Ash Code Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It′s not easy to go, not easy today
Time chasing me and I wonder why
There are a lot of miles to race
To satisfy my soul in this war

Without you ...Without you ...
Without you ...Without you ...
It's like playing to an empty room

That′s my nature, what I keep inside
I'm lying dead in a club tonight
But I look through the eyes and screams
To reconcile our souls in this war

Without you ...Without you ...
Without you ...Without you ...
It's like playing to an empty room

It′s like playing to an empty room

It′s like playing to an empty room

Playing to an empty room

Playing to an empty room

Without you ...Without you ...
Without you ...Without you ...
It's like playing to an empty room

It′s like playing to an empty room
It's like playing to an empty room




It′s like playing to an empty room
It's like playing to an empty room

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Ash Code's "Empty Room" expresses the singer's difficulty in separating from their loved one, indicating that the departure is not easy for the singer. However, time waits for no one, and the singer is forced to face the reality of leaving. Despite the long journey ahead, the singer is still keen to fulfill their desire, to satisfy their soul, and to emerge victorious in a personal battle. The chorus of the song repeatedly articulates the sensation of playing in an empty room, a departure from what was familiar and comfortable. The absence of the singer's partner amplifies their sense of isolation and loneliness in their journey, continually reminding them of what they have left behind.


The second verse of "Empty Room" provides further insight into the singer's psyche. They are in a club, surrounded by people, but they feel as though they are dead, indicating that their heart and soul are not fully present in the moment. Instead, they are lost in thought as their "eyes and screams" seeks to be reconciled with their lover, further reinforcing their sense of isolation in a crowded room. The song then repeats the chorus, emphasizing the experience of playing to an empty room, once again highlighting the singer's feeling of being alone and disconnected from their surroundings. The closing of the song is a repeated chorus of the same line, further emphasizing the repetition of the emptiness the singer feels despite their physical location.
