Empty Trash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So that's how it's gonna be, you're gonna leave me here to grieve
Oh baby I been out all night, thinking about the me and you
Passing the same old trees like every time I walk passed your place
Baby you givin' me hell I wanna open that velvet lace
Smell your hair for the last time,
I sorrow over what once used to be mine
And your, and your, and your blue crystal eyes,
Staring at the ceiling
I lay you down, bedding you with sweet scented roses
I cry as you smile and your last eye closes
I'm guessing and I'm hoping,
I'm guessing and I'm hoping that you loved me after all
I devour the aching strain that you cause and caused
I shall be a mourner 'till my longing for you has passed
Smell your hair for the last time,
I sorrow over what once used to be mine
And your, and your, and your blue crystal eyes,
And your, and your, and your blue crystal eyes,
Staring at the ceiling
I see you right before my eyes
With the ice cold tears running down your sweet cheeks
And your, and your, and your blue crystal eyes,
And your, and your, and your blue crystal eyes,
And your, and your, and your blue crystal eyes,
Staring at the ceiling
I lied to you my angel, I lied, ruthless
Forgive, I'm far from innocence, you knew I guess
I just love the girls and yes, I'm good with that
I just love kissing in variety, no matter if she's a cutie or a hot cat
And your, and your, and your blue crystal eyes,
And your, and your, and your blue crystal eyes,
Staring at the ceiling
I see you right before my eyes
The ice cold blood running down your sweet cheeks
And your, and your, and your blue crystal eyes,
And your, and your, and your blue crystal eyes,
Staring at the ceiling
The lyrics to "Confession" by Empty Trash capture the heartbreak and regret of a man whose lover is leaving him. He laments about the fact that she has decided to end their relationship, sharing his pain of having to accept that she's going to "leave me here to grieve." The singer has spent the night reflecting on their relationship and walking past her place all night. The song is a confession of his love for her, and he's trying to tell her how much he cared for her before it's too late. He wants to smell her hair for the last time and sorrow over their lost love.
In the second verse, he describes his lover's blue crystal eyes, which are staring at the ceiling. He juxtaposes the beauty of her eyes with the sadness of the situation. He lays her down with sweet scented roses and cries as her last eye closes. He wonders whether she loved him after all, and he'll be a mourner until his longing for her has passed. He repeats the phrase "And your, and your, and your blue crystal eyes, staring at the ceiling" to emphasize the impact that her departure will have on him.
The final verse serves as an admission of guilt. The singer reveals that he lied to his lover, and that he loves other women as well. He's not innocent, and his lover knew it. Though he loves variety and kissing other women, he's realized that he truly loves and cares about this particular lover. The song ends with a painful image of the lover's ice cold blood running down her sweet cheeks as her blue crystal eyes continue to stare at the ceiling.
Overall, "Confession" is a powerful ballad that explores the pain and regret of a man who has lost his lover. It captures the complexity and heartbreak of relationships that end in sadness and betrayal.
