Empty
Eyes Of Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many times, is this all there is? There's got to be more to this.
Rid me of this burned free me from this endless pain
This world is leaving me empty.
Leaving me empty
So you see me here, I've lost again. I feel you feeding off my suffering.
Take one last look into these eyes. The product of western skies.
This world is leaving me empty.
Leaving me empty.
I'm at the end of my days and I don't feel as I should.
I don't feel like I should. I never felt like I could.
I don't feel like I should. I never had what I could.
I'm at the end of my days and I don't feel as I should.
The lyrics to Eyes of Fire's song "Empty" speak to the frustration of feeling like one's dreams and aspirations are constantly being taken away. The singer is "sick and tired" of this seemingly never-ending cycle of disappointment, and wonders if this is all there is to life. The refrain of "Leaving me empty" speaks to the sense of emptiness and disillusionment the singer feels.
The second verse of the song brings a sense of resentment towards others who seem to be thriving off the singer's pain and suffering. It's as though they're taking pleasure in seeing the singer struggle. The line "The product of western skies" seems to reference the singer's upbringing, perhaps suggesting that the societal pressures and expectations of western culture have contributed to their feelings of emptiness. The lyrics continue to express a desire to be released from this burning pain and to be rid of the emptiness that plagues them.
Overall, "Empty" is a melancholic reflection on the disappointment and emptiness that can come with pursuing one's dreams in a world that can feel unrewarding and unforgiving.
