Empty
Fashion.dead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well the circus has packed up baby, and it's time for me to go
Like we said in school we'd sneak out, run away when the last leaves of summer fall
One bad day is all it takes
One more day until I break
No more smiles left to fake
One bad day
Spin me round, spin me round like a Ferris wheel
Dress it up how you want, but just click your heels and I'll be there if you need
If it's too hard to bleed out your sorrows, just grab another bottle
And drown here with me
There were a hundred glass bottles lined up on the ground
Each held a scene, tinted green from a night on the town
But I'm young, so I don't think that I'll need them for now
So I break out into daylight in the process of bringing you down
One bad day is all it takes
One more day until I break
No more smiles left to fake
One bad day, I like the way you
Spin me round, spin me round like a Ferris wheel
Dress it up how you want, but just click your heels and I'll be there if you need
If it's too hard to bleed out your sorrows, just grab another bottle
And drown here with me
I don't want another conversation, if all of your words are a lazy imitation
Of your tried and tested circus routine
Pushing men round your fingers, and crying them clean
Crying them clean
Crying them clean
Crying them clean
One bad day is all it takes
One more day until I break
No more smiles left to fake
One bad day
Spin me round, spin me round like a Ferris wheel
Dress it up how you want, but just click your heels and I'll be there if you need
If it's too hard to bleed out your sorrows, just grab another bottle
And drown here with me




Drown here with me
Drown here with me

I think due to its own nature, minimalism cannot reinvent itself enough to stay in the spotlight. However it's such a solid style, it will always be around but not as the main trend anymore

For me trends tends to come and go. But minimalism always has it's place. Just like Chuck Taylor and Vans it may not be as popular in this new sneaker culture but somehow people always buy and wear them.

Enviromentalism and minimalism go hand in hand because fashion contributes to a lot of the waste on Earth. It's great that more people than ever are being aware of their impacts on Earth. With the hot topic right now being Climate Change + environmentalism, I think that minimalism is here to stay. That fact makes me very happy, because I'm all for the environment, and have been for my whole life.

@Motion Movies just because corporations are responsible for the brunt of environmental destruction doesn't give you an excuse not to be more responsible with your consumption.

Anonymous Otter

@Motion Movies Well, you do you man👍 I don't agree but I also don't find much flaw in that argument. Sites such as Ebay and Depop make it possible for us to recycle clothes instead of just throwing them away.

Motion Movies

yea I don't buy into the idea that you shouldn't by clothes for the environment. firstly most solutions is done buy big companies, secondly, just don't throw away clothes and your pollution is cut down massively.

Jonh Araneta

For me, Being minimalist is one of the important statement in fashion and food. Thanks for this Video ❤️💯
