Have a Nice Life is the brainchild of Tim Macuga, black metal experimentalist in Nahvalr and songwriter for the classic Western Massachusetts hardcore band, the Danger Strangers, and Dan Barrett of the ghost music project Giles Corey and now-defunct in Pieces.
Have a Nice Life released their first full-length record in January, 2008, double album titled "Deathconsciousness." The two discs (titled "the Plow That Broke the Plains" and "the Future", respectively) feature music spanning over five years of collaboration between the two artists, and are accompanied by a 75-page booklet on medieval Italian heretics in lieu of liner notes. The album was entirely self-released, right down to the hand-painted discs, and put out via the Enemies List Home Recordings label. Their second release, an EP titled "Time of Land (2010)," is available for free as a digital download. In January, 2014 Have a Nice Life released their follow-up LP to "Deathconsciousness," titled "the Unnatural World."
On November 8, 2019, the band released their third studio album, "Sea of Worry."

Emptiness Will Eat the Witch
Have a Nice Life Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter how much I write, you'll never read a single line.
Oh well,
Who am I to point it out?
You are no one.
"Emptiness Will Eat the Witch" by Have a Nice Life is a mesmerizing song that delves into the bleakness of life, which is encapsulated in the lyrics "No matter how hard I try, I'll never reach the speed of life." This line conveys the idea that life is an insurmountable force, and no matter how much one tries, it's impossible to keep up with its pace. It also points to the futility of human existence in the grand scheme of things.
The next line "No matter how much I write, you'll never read a single line" speaks to the feelings of isolation and loneliness that one can experience. It suggests that no matter how much one pours their heart and soul into their creative work, it may not receive recognition or validation. The line also hints at the idea that even if someone is reading or listening to the work, they may not truly understand the emotions behind it.
The final line, "You are no one," is a stark and brutal reminder of our insignificance. It's a humbling realization that no matter how much importance we may attach to our lives, in the grand scheme of things, we are mere specks in the universe. The song creates a sense of overwhelming emptiness, with a haunting sound and despairing lyrics that express the futility and despair of our existence.
