Empty
Saron Gas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you
I Need you
Confront you
I love you to rape me
I need you to break me
Tell me how to sit around
Tell me how to sit around
I don't think you wanna know me
I feel you conceal you
I hear you I fear you
I steal you to heal you
I feed you and milk you
Tell me how to sit around
Making my life so empty
Tell me how to sit around
I don't think you wanna know me
I can't be, I can't be
What you wantâ¦
The lyrics of the song "Empty" by Saron Gas (now known as Seether) convey a complex mix of conflicting emotions and desires. It seems to be a reflection on the singer's feelings of helplessness and vulnerability in the face of an overpowering love or desire for someone. The first stanza establishes a sense of obsession, with the singer seeing, wanting, and needing the other person while also seeming to confront them. The phrase "I love you to rape me" is particularly provocative and troubling, suggesting a willingness to submit to abusive behavior in order to fulfill this desire. The line "I need you to break me" is similarly dark and ambiguous, possibly referencing the singer's own self-destructive tendencies.
The second stanza adds more layers of meaning to the song, with the singer feeling both drawn to and afraid of the other person. The phrase "I steal you to heal you" suggests a desire to possess or control the other person, while also providing some sort of comfort or healing. The final lines of the song, "I can't be, I can't be/What you want" may be a realization on the part of the singer that this destructive, obsessive love is not sustainable or healthy.
Overall, "Empty" is a haunting and intense song that explores themes of desire, vulnerability, and self-destruction in a raw and powerful way.
