Emotion
FGFC820 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sun, throw shadows cross the floor
That leak into my soul
Blackness tossed against the wall
The room feels so cold

The alibis you gave
Were promises in vain
Echoes of impermanence
Voices from the grave

Tell me what it's for
All this emotion
When you walk out the door
Why should I follow?

You've been playing games
With my emotions
Turn and walk away
You leave me hollow

Warmth, cascading over me
A puppet for your strings




A mound of flesh on which you feed
Satiated

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song describe the setting in which the artist is situated, as they detail the sun throwing shadows in the room and filling it up with darkness. The situation is amplified by the emotions of the artist, as the shadows seem to leak into their soul, leading to a deeper sense of coldness in the room. The lyrics then shift to address the alibis that the subject of the song has given, which were in vain, echoing their impermanence and conjuring up voices from the grave. The artist then questions the purpose of all the emotions, as they ask why they should follow their subject out the door, who seems to be continuously playing games with their emotions, leaving the artist feeling hollow.


Overall, the song seems to be about the artist's frustration and sense of emptiness towards someone who is continually toying with their emotions. The lyrics describe a room that is filled with darkness, which could be a metaphor for the artist's emotional state, which is further amplified by the emptiness they feel after their subject walks away. The lyrics also highlight the impermanence of relationships and the frustration of dealing with someone who continually feeds on one's emotions.

Lyrics to 'Emotion':

Sun, throw shadows cross the floor
that leak into my soul
Blackness tossed against the wall
the room feels so cold

The alibis you gave
were promises in vain
Echoes of impermanence
voices from the grave

Tell me what it's for
all this emotion
When you walk out the door
why should I follow?

You've been playing games
with my emotions
Turn and walk away
you leave me hollow

Warmth, cascading over me
a puppet for your strings
A mound of flesh on which you feed
Satiated.
