Empty
Down Below Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what's going on
Look in the mirror, the picture I see
An angel face but it's not me, yeah
Hey, hey
An angel face broken inside
Hey, hey
And I don't know why you've gone away
I can't stop crying 'cause you are gone now
And I'm alone in this empty home
Oh no, oh no
I don't know why you've gone away
I can't stop crying 'cause you are gone now
And I'm alone in this empty home
Oh no, oh no
Wake up this morning and everything hurts
I lost myself and I lost my words today
I am in mourning and I am in pain
An angel face, how to come clean again?
Hey, hey
An angel face broken inside
Hey, hey
Without a trace, lost inside
Do you wanna help me
Help me to fight?
Do you wanna stop
My daemons inside?
The lyrics to Down Below's song "Empty" depict a person waking up with a sense of wrongness and confusion. The opening lines convey the singer's sense of disorientation and unease. They feel like something is amiss, but they cannot pinpoint what. The next lines describe how the person looks in the mirror, seeing an angelic face, but they feel like it does not belong to them. It suggests that the person's external appearance is at odds with their internal state.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's feelings of loneliness and isolation due to some unresolved issue. They address a person who has gone away, leaving them alone in an empty home. The singer is consumed with sadness, evident through the repetition of the lines, "I don't know why you've gone away/I can't stop crying 'cause you are gone now/And I'm alone in this empty home/Oh no, oh no." These lines convey the singer's sense of desperation and hopelessness.
In the second verse, the sense of discomfort and grief intensifies. The person wakes up with a feeling of pain, lost in themselves and their thoughts. They feel like they have lost themselves and their ability to express themselves. The line "An angel face, how to come clean again?" implies that the person is troubled and feels like they are not who they once were.
The final lines of the song, "Do you wanna help me/Help me to fight?/Do you wanna stop/My demons inside?" suggest that the person speaking is reaching out for help. They are struggling to cope with their inner demons and are calling out to someone to aid them.
