My Soul Is Empty And Full Of White Girls
Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sick of giving in to these demons
I wanna get out, I wanna get out
I'm sick of giving in to these demons
With eyes wide open, all I see is the dark
Another hit, another mark
A small pinch and my whole world starts to spark
The minds a tricky thing when it comes to the loss of you
Sometimes I hear her cries, silence is the dirtiest trick in life
If I'm so empty, then why do I feel alive?
Let's go back for the last time, when you breathe you lie
Pretty thing keep your mouth closed, and those legs tangled close
Dear shame, are you forever?
I'll never know what it's like to keep my head from spinning
I'll carry the flame for you, I'll carry the weight for you
In that moment I don't need to think twice, the end of a shattered life
Sometimes I hear her cries, silence is the dirtiest trick in life
If I'm so empty, then why do I feel alive?
Let's go back for the last time, when you breathe you lie
Pretty thing keep your mouth closed, and those legs tangled close
I feel her body break under the weight
My selfish lies, selfish lies, I can't do it any other way
Sometimes I hear her cries, I hear her cries
Under, under, under the weight of my love
Sometimes I hear her cries, silence is the dirtiest trick in life
If I'm so empty, then why do I feel alive?
Let's go back for the last time, when you breathe you lie
Pretty thing keep your mouth closed, and those legs tangled close

Addiction never leaves you.
Can only imagine, same thing with Anthony Green and plenty of other influential musicians / comedians.
Takes 100 times the amount of strength and energy to actively go out of your way to not resort back to the addiction.
Takes half a breath to fall back in the trap.
Comes down to how much you want it, and coping mechanisms as you do life without substance.
Also the perspective on life / outlook mentally.
Need to keep yourself grounded.
Hard drugs are hard habits to break.

Deserves it? Him being deserving or not is completely irrelevant...
Talent is talent.
And take a look at some of the most recognizable artists over the last few decades... If their popularity/career/album sales/success were based upon them as people being "deserving" or not would you be as aware of their music as you are now? Doubt it. 🤔 🤷♀️
Let's just see if we can name a few....?
Elvis!? Kurt Cobain of Nirvana!? Bradley Nowell of Sublime!? Jimmy Hendrix!? Janis Joplin!? Amy Whitehouse? Whitney Houston!? Michael Jackson!?......
Please, feel free to add any that come to mind... 😒
So yes, there may be some foul words spoken in the music industry about Jonny Craig as a person and I am sure others involved have been given reasons to speak their opinions...
But his personal struggles, prior mistakes or intimate relationships are not to be used against him to determine if he is "deserving" of a successful career or not!
Please sit the f-ck down with that argument... 👎
Talent is talent!!
@abysses
jonny has been my favorite artist for well over a decade and it absolutely crushes me to see his legacy vs where he’s at now.

Jonny: Just watch!
@jonnyralston5299

@aprildavadi9697

@zakburcham4738
Man, I just hope Johnny can get through it again. So much talent, such an incredible voice, for that junk to take it away from the world
@terragrow440
Is something bad going on with him rn? Ive been seeing him extra active lately on IG with gigs and such
@andrebraganza3607
Yeah... Its kinda absurd to think about that a drug addict with so much struggles delivered the best projects of its genre, and some of the best projects of music as a whole. Dude is pure talent
@Puffley
Daddy Craig is sober still
