Emptiness
Enemy Of The Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Create all the vacuums, emotions silent,
killed and smothered away
Deep down I still feel the heat,
I feed the flames and try to survive...
Trying to get some strength from this never-ending apathy,
It's finally turning against me,
changing into sickness that I'll never prevail...
Why can't I feel this? Why can't I feel me...
In this emptiness I keep trying to resurrect
In this emptiness I keep trying to resurrect
Faced all the ghosts from the past,
I never know they had so many names,
I felt the accusations, in my neck like a parasite...
I chase this guilt on my shoulder trying to make it better again,
But it never helps anything, only weakens me
and ives it more space to grow...
Why must I feel this? Why am I feeling this...
In this emptiness I keep trying to ressurrect




In this emptiness I keep trying to ressurrect
In this emptiness I keep on creating it...

Overall Meaning

The song "Emptiness" by Enemy of the Sun explores the feelings of loneliness and emptiness that arise when emotions are suppressed and buried deep within. The lyrics suggest that the persona has killed and smothered away their emotions, creating a vacuum that renders them numb and unable to connect with others. Despite this, they still feel the heat of the emotions and try to survive by feeding the flames.


The persona expresses frustration at the never-ending apathy that has left them feeling empty and helpless. They become increasingly aware of the sickness that this apathy is causing within them, and they feel unable to prevail against it. The emptiness consumes them, and they feel lost and disconnected from themselves, unable to resurrect who they once were. They face their ghosts from the past - perhaps past traumas or mistakes - and are haunted by the accusations that they feel in their neck like a parasite. They try to chase away the guilt that overwhelms them, but it only weakens them further, giving the emptiness more space to grow.


The song offers a powerful commentary on the dangers of suppressing one's emotions and the toll that it can take on a person's mental and emotional well-being. The persona is struggling to find a way to reconnect with themselves and with the world around them, and the song captures the pain and isolation that comes with that struggle. It is a poignant reminder that it is important to acknowledge and process one's emotions, rather than burying them deep within.
