Empty
Leilani Wolfgramm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fell in love with a man
Who had no plans
And it kept him
From keepin' promises
Can feel the lies he said through my hand
Holding on to him
Was like tryna catch the wind
And he turned our world
Into a losers game
And like a fool I played
Fuck what them wise men said

I'd rushed all the way
To give my heart away
All of it
You didn't won yet
But you took it anyways
You took it anyways
You took it anyways
And left me empty
I went ahead and let you get the very best of me
And you left me empty

As a drum
Thee drum
Thee drum
Thee drum drum drum
Ha ooo the drum thee drum
And you run run run
You run run run
And you turned our love into a losers game
And like a fool I played
Fuck what them wise men said

Said I'd rushed all the way
To give my heart away
Way
All of it
You didn't won yet
Well you took it anyways
You took it anyways
You took it anyways
And left me empty
You took it anyways
Took it anyways
You took it anyways
And left me empty

As a drum
Thee drum
Thee drum
Thee drum drum drum
Ha ooo the drum thee drum
Hey you run run
Hey you run run
You run run run
You run run
Tell me who you running from
Tell me when the fun is gone
Look around around
See what you've done done

You've turned our world into a losers game
And like a fool I played
Fuck what them wise men said said
You took it anyways
Took it anyways
You took it anyways
And you left me
Empty
You took it anyways




Took it anyways
You took it anyways

Overall Meaning

"Empty" by Leilani Wolfgramm is a song about a woman who fell in love with a man who had no plans, and this caused him to break his promises. She can feel the lies he said through her hand, and holding on to him was pointless, like trying to catch the wind. The man turned their love into a loser's game, and despite the warnings of wise men, she foolishly played along. She rushed to give him her heart, only to be left feeling empty after he took it away. The song is written with a lot of creative expression and metaphors, such as the drum beat that symbolizes the heartache and the man's running symbolizing him running from his promises.


The lyrics are emotional and relatable, as many people have experienced the pain of giving someone their heart, only to be left empty-handed. The song's message is about learning from our mistakes in love and not settling for someone who does not have plans or who constantly breaks their promises. Furthermore, it teaches the importance of not rushing into love and not allowing someone to take our hearts for granted.


Line by Line Meaning

Fell in love with a man
I developed romantic feelings for someone


Who had no plans
He did not have any long-term goals or ambitions


And it kept him
This lack of ambition prevented him


From keepin' promises
From fulfilling the promises he made to me


Can feel the lies he said through my hand
I can sense that he was deceitful through physical touch


Holding on to him
Continuing to be romantically involved with him


Was like tryna catch the wind
It was futile and impossible to hold onto him


And he turned our world
He transformed our relationship


Into a losers game
Into something that resulted in me losing


And like a fool I played
I acted foolishly and unwisely


Fuck what them wise men said
I disregarded the advice of wise individuals


I'd rushed all the way
I gave my all


To give my heart away
Emotionally investing myself in the relationship


All of it
Every aspect of my heart


You didn't won yet
He had not yet won me over completely


But you took it anyways
He still took my heart despite not having won me over


And left me empty
He left me feeling worthless and hollow


As a drum
Intense and repetitive


Thee drum
The beat


Hey you run run
You are trying to escape responsibility


Tell me who you running from
Who are you avoiding or running away from?


Tell me when the fun is gone
When did our relationship start feeling unenjoyable?


Look around around
Reflect on your surroundings and situation


See what you've done done
Evaluate the negative impact you have caused


You've turned our world into a losers game
He transformed our relationship into something negative


Took it anyways
He still took my heart despite not having won me over


And you left me empty
He left me feeling worthless and hollow

Me apaixonei por um homem
que nΓ£o tinha planos
e isso o manteve
mantendo promessas

Posso sentir as mentiras que ele disse
através da minha cabeça
esperar por ele
era como tentar pegar o vento
e ele transformou o nosso mundo
em um jogo de perdedores
e como uma boba eu joguei
foda-se o que o homem sΓ‘bio disse
eu teria corrido por todo o caminho

para dar de longe o meu coração
tudo dele
vocΓͺ nΓ£o ganhou ainda
mas vocΓͺ o levou mesmo assim
vocΓͺ o levou mesmo assim
vocΓͺ o levou mesmo assim
e me deixou vazia

eu fui em frente e deixei vocΓͺ ter o melhor de mim
e vocΓͺ me deixou vazia
como um tambor
o tambor, o tambor
o tambor, tambor, tambor
e vocΓͺ correu, correu
vocΓͺ correu, correu

e vocΓͺ tornou o nosso amor em um jogo de perdedores
e como uma boba eu joguei
foda-se o que o homem sΓ‘bio disse
disse que eu correria por todo o caminho

para dar de longe o meu coração
tudo dele
vocΓͺ nΓ£o ganhou ainda
mas vocΓͺ o levou mesmo assim
vocΓͺ o levou mesmo assim
vocΓͺ o levou mesmo assim
e me deixou vazia

como um tambor
o tambor, o tambor
o tambor, tambor, tambor
e vocΓͺ correu, correu
vocΓͺ correu, correu

me diga do que vocΓͺ estΓ‘ correndo
me diga quando a diversΓ£o acabou
olhe ao redor, ao redor
veja o que vocΓͺ fez

vocΓͺ tornou o nosso mundo em um jogo de perdedores
e como uma boba eu joguei
foda-se o que o homem sΓ‘bio disse
vocΓͺ levou mesmo assim
vocΓͺ levou mesmo assim
e vocΓͺ me deixou vazia
vocΓͺ levou mesmo assim
vocΓͺ levou mesmo assim

- tradução feita por mim, espero que esteja tudo certinho =)

From keepin' promises
Can feel the lies he said through my hand
Holding on to him
Was like tryna catch the wind
And he turned our world
Into a losers game
And like a fool I played
Fuck what them wise men said..

I'd rushed all the way
To give my heart away
All of it
You didn't won yet
But you took it anyways
You took it anyways
You took it anyways
And left me empty
I went ahead and let you get the very best of me
And you left me empty..

As a drum

Ha ooo the drum thee drum
And you run run run
You run run run
And you turned our love into a losers game
And like a fool I played
Fuck what them wise men said..

Well you took it anyways
You took it anyways
