Emptiness
Polluted Inheritance Lyrics

The lyrics to Polluted Inheritance's song Emptiness delve deep into the psyche of someone who is contemplating suicide. The opening line, "See the world through my eyes," is a way for the singer to invite the listener to understand their perspective. However, the singer warns that all the listener will see is weakness. This indicates that the singer thinks very little of themselves and might believe that they are a burden to those around them.

The next line, "It's not a cause of insanity, it's a cause of pain," highlights the fact that the singer isn't crazy. They aren't doing something drastic because they're out of their mind. They are doing it because they're in pain. This line reinforces the idea that suicide is often seen as a solution to a problem that seems insurmountable. The singer goes on to question the use of life, wondering what the point is if one wants to be dead.

The final lines bring together the themes of the song, highlighting that the singer is taking control of their own life. They are not just letting things happen to them, but instead, actively making a choice. The final line, "Suicide the only way to escape from this life," is a sad and desperate way to view the world. It highlights how dark and lonely the singer's life feels to them, that they see no other way out.
