empty words
Breed 77 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear a voice betray the things you say
Nothing was left by darkness in the eyes of all that stare
Nothing but empty hands I offer nothing left to share
The times you said believe for you're the one I have to trust
Nothing by empty words you heard
That's not what I'm about
I'm the man I claim to be
Does it seem I'm always fighting
Always fighting
On and on
Cause I'm still standing
And I believe I can save myself from you
Does it seem we're always fighting
Always fighting on and on
Soon you test my faith in every way
The promises you made the things you say
The times you said believe for you're the one I have to trust
Nothing by empty words you heard
That's not what I'm about
Here I am
I'm the man I claim to be
Does it seem I'm always fighting
Always fighting
On and on
Cause I'm still standing
And I believe I can save myself from you
Does it seem we're always fighting
Always fighting on and on
The song "Empty Words" by Breed 77 portrays a feeling of betrayal and emptiness in a relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer was misguided by a light that did not show him the way and that the words of the other person were nothing but empty promises. As he looks around at those who stare, he realizes that he has nothing to offer them since he has already given everything he has. The other person's words were untrue, and the singer is now left disillusioned and with nothing but empty hands.
The lyrics suggest that the other person tested the singer's faith in every way, and though they were promised that they were the one to trust, these promises were nothing but empty words. Despite this, the singer claims to be the man he always claimed to be and that even after everything, he is still standing.
Overall, the song's message is clear- empty words and false promises can lead to a feeling of betrayal and emptiness, and though these feelings may persist for some time, it is possible to stand up and fight back, to emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before.
