Empty
Sezairi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have a habit of not thinking when I speak
Like a hundred steely knives
They fall down like shards of silver from the sky
We take shelter from this storm we made ourselves
Try to cover up our hearts but realize
We're empty
There is nothing more to save us from this war
Empty
No one's winning, so ones safe
It keeps raging on till nothings left to spare
Phone is ringing like a bomb
No one's picking up in fear it will go off
We take shelter from this storm we made ourselves
Try to cover up our hearts but realize
It's empty
We're empty
There's nothing more to save us from this war
Empty
And it tears me up inside
I don't want to see you cry
I'm already torn inside
I don't wanna see you cry
It's empty
We're empty
There's nothing more to save us from this war
Empty
Like a hundred steely knives
The lyrics to Sezairi's song "Empty" convey the sense of despair, confusion, and emptiness in a relationship that has fallen apart. The song speaks to the complexities of communication when emotions are high, and the things we say without thinking can cause deep wounds. The opening lines, "Words were fired aimlessly, I have a habit of not thinking when I speak, like a hundred steely knives," describe the damage done by hurtful words that are spoken without consideration. The imagery of "steely knives" falling from the sky like "shards of silver" portrays the destructive force of unprocessed emotions.
The chorus of the song, "We're empty, there's nothing more to save us from this war," repeats the idea that the damage is done, and there's no going back. The two people in the relationship are sheltering themselves from the storm they made, but they can't save themselves from the emptiness that has taken over. The phone ringing like a bomb and no one answering out of fear that it will detonate conveys the idea that the tension and stress in the relationship have become unbearable.
The final lines, "And it tears me up inside, I don't want to see you cry, I'm already torn inside, I don't wanna see you cry," convey the emotional toll that the situation has taken on both parties. Despite the hurt they have caused each other, they still care deeply and are struggling to find a way to mitigate the damage.

Words were fired aimlessly
I tend to speak without thinking and my words hurt others
I have a habit of not thinking when I speak
I impulsively say things that I later regret
Like a hundred steely knives
My words cut deep and cause emotional pain
They fall down like shards of silver from the sky
My harsh words fall mercilessly like sharp silver fragments
We take shelter from this storm we made ourselves
We try to hide from the problems we created
Try to cover up our hearts but realize
We try to protect our feelings but eventually realize that we're only fooling ourselves
It's empty
Our relationship has lost its meaning and is hollow
We're empty
We are both emotionally drained and hollow
There is nothing more to save us from this war
There is no solution to our problems and we are at a stalemate
No one's winning, so ones safe
Neither of us is winning this fight and neither of us is truly safe
It keeps raging on till nothings left to spare
Our argument continues until there is nothing left to say or salvage
Phone is ringing like a bomb
The phone calls between us are intense and explosive
No one's picking up in fear it will go off
Neither of us wants to answer the phone because we fear the conflict that will arise
And it tears me up inside
The situation is causing me tremendous pain and distress
I don't want to see you cry
I care about you and don't want to cause you pain, but I cannot stop the conflict
I'm already torn inside
I am already emotionally torn apart by this situation
It's empty
Our relationship has lost its meaning and is hollow
We're empty
We are both emotionally drained and hollow
There's nothing more to save us from this war
There is no solution to our problems and we are at a stalemate
Empty
Our relationship is empty and meaningless
