Empty
HeyLasFas! Lyrics

The stories she scrawled out were too planned out and uninteresting.
The stories she wrote lacked depth and seemed formulaic, leaving me feeling uninspired.

Why must I still believe that even you would still be listening?
Despite feeling like my writing is uninteresting, I still hope that someone will appreciate it and listen to what I have to say.

A damaged bridge between the rules she'd make and those I'd call friends
There is a disconnect between my creative process and the expectations of my friends, leading to a strained relationship.

My pen is but a dulling sword whose sharpened ink would never mend.
My writing ability is declining, and my words are no longer powerful enough to fix the problems in my life.

I'm sorry
I feel regret over something I've done or didn't do.

I didn't mean to fly away
I didn't intend to flee from my problems or responsibilities.

I've lost myself today
I feel like I've veered off-course, and I'm unsure of my identity and purpose.

I gave it all to something out there that I can't remember
I put all of my energy and resources into something that ultimately didn't matter, and now I'm left with nothing to show for it.

I gave my pride to someone and I watched it burn to embers
I sacrificed my ego and sense of self-importance for someone else, only to have it destroyed and taken advantage of.

An empty room, an empty bed
A lonely and unfulfilling living space, underscored by feelings of isolation and detachment.

This library is just a shadow of what it used to be.
The once-great symbol of knowledge and imagination is now a mere shell of its former self, emblematic of my own fading creativity and loss of inspiration.

What once was hope when all these Elements still stood beside me
There was a time when I felt supported and encouraged by those around me, which gave me hope that I could succeed creatively and emotionally.

Now helpless idling, these friends play off cacophonously
My once-supportive friends now seem to be working against me, and their actions have caused a great deal of chaos and dissonance in my life.

Compare the products and the means will always come out to one
When it comes to measuring creative output, the quality and significance of the work will always be the ultimate determinant of success.

This game is zero-sum, I'm still to blame for all I've become
The creative world can be incredibly competitive and unforgiving, and I take full responsibility for any shortcomings or failures in my creative endeavors.

I chased maturity so long that I've learned to surrender
I've spent so much time trying to be mature and responsible that I've given up on pursuing my creative passions and goals.

Was it something that I said?
I'm questioning whether something specific that I said or did has caused the turmoil and struggles in my life.

These Elements are all but dead
The guiding principles and sources of support that once gave me hope and inspiration are now gone or ineffective.

This Harmony is just a shadow of what it used to be.
The once-strong sense of balance and unity in my life has been lost or weakened beyond repair.

An empty room, an empty head
A pervasive sense of emptiness has taken over my life, leaving me feeling unfulfilled and adrift.

This library is everything I've lost inside of me
The library represents all that was once good and inspiring in my life, and now that it's gone, I feel as though I've lost a crucial part of myself.

...
This is a pause in the song, during which no lyrics are sung.

Somebody told me of a
An unknown person shared a story or piece of information with me.

Silly little thing called destiny
This information pertained to a concept or belief known as 'destiny,' which I consider foolish or irrelevant.

Go unchecked, I'll go blind
If I continue to ignore or deny the idea of destiny, I may miss out on important opportunities or perspectives.

Finding how it got the best--
I'm still uncertain about the role that destiny or fate plays in my life, and I'm searching for answers to this elusive question.

Forgive me.
I'm asking for forgiveness, either from another person or from a greater force beyond myself.

---Take off your elements….
I'm advising someone to let go of their external influences or crutches, as they no longer serve a purpose.

---...you won't need them anymore.
Continuing from the previous line, I'm reassuring this person that they will be able to succeed and thrive without relying on these outside factors.
