Lala
Heartbroken, my head can't focus
The bars keep closin' but I
Just can't go home (Oh, no)
Eyes opened, I'm way past copin'
And it's all slow motion but I
And everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
I can see your ghost again (yeah)
I'm covered in the floor
(Covered in the floor)
Kickin' over empty bottles
So what?
If I'ma fuck up, I don't need no sympathy
So what? (So what?)
You got a new thing now, I'm ancient history
The tables turned
I crashed and I burned again
Lessons never learned
I'm spinnin' out right now
Heartbroken, my head can't focus
The bars keep closin' but I
Just can't go home
Eyes opened, I'm way past copin'
And it's all slow motion but I
Just can't sleep no more
And everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
I can see your ghost again
I'm covered in the floor
Kickin' over empty bottles
So what?
If I'ma fuck up, I don't need no sympathy
So what?
You got a new thing now, I'm ancient history
The tables turned
I crashed and I burned again
Lessons never learned
I'm spinnin' out right now
Heartbroken, my head can't focus
The bars keep closin' but I
Just can't go home
Eyes opened, I'm way past copin'
And it's all slow motion but I
Just can't sleep no more
And everywhere I go (And everywhere I go)
I can see your ghost again
I'm covered in the floor
(I'm covered in the floor)
Kickin' over empty bottles
So what? (So what?)
If I'ma fuck up, I don't need no sympathy
So what? (So what?)
You got a new thing now, I'm ancient history
The tables turned
I crashed and I burned again
Lessons never learned
I'm spinnin' out right now
The lyrics to "Empty Bottles" by Bryce Vine feat. Mod Sun express the emotional turmoil and heartbreak of the singer. The song paints a picture of someone who is struggling to move on from a past relationship. The singer describes feeling lost and unable to focus, constantly seeking solace in the closure of bars but unable to find peace at home. The line "I can see your ghost again" suggests that they are haunted by memories of their ex-lover, and this torment is reflected in their restless state of mind.
The chorus repeats the phrase "so what?" as an expression of defiance and self-assurance. The singer refuses to be defined by their mistakes or the opinions of others. They reject sympathy and acknowledge that their former partner has moved on, accepting their status as "ancient history." Their repeated reference to crashing and burning emphasizes a pattern of failure and the struggle to learn from past mistakes, ultimately leading to a state of chaos and confusion.
Throughout the song, the lyrics convey a sense of despair and resignation, highlighting the singer's inability to escape the pain of their broken heart. The mention of "empty bottles" represents both physical and metaphorical emptiness, symbolizing the self-destructive tendencies and the futile attempt to drown out the pain with alcohol. Overall, "Empty Bottles" captures the raw emotions and inner turmoil that can accompany a difficult breakup.

Heartbroken, my head can't focus
Feeling devastated, my mind is unable to concentrate
The bars keep closin' but I
The places I frequent are shutting down, but I
Just can't go home
Simply cannot return to my place of comfort
Eyes opened, I'm way past copin'
Wide awake, I've far exceeded my ability to cope
And it's all slow motion but I
Everything feels like it's moving in slow motion, yet I
Just can't sleep no more
Simply cannot find any restful sleep anymore
And everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
No matter where I go
I can see your ghost again (yeah)
I can constantly see the haunting memories of you
I'm covered in the floor
I am metaphorically engulfed by the ground beneath me
Kickin' over empty bottles
Violently knocking over discarded alcohol containers
So what?
What does it matter?
If I'ma fuck up, I don't need no sympathy
If I make mistakes, I don't require any pity
You got a new thing now, I'm ancient history
You have moved on with someone else, and I am now a thing of the past
The tables turned
The situation has reversed
I crashed and I burned again
I experienced failure and destruction once more
Lessons never learned
I never seem to learn from my mistakes
I'm spinnin' out right now
I am currently losing control and spiraling
