My Soul Is Empty and Full of White Girls Remix Cameron Mizell
Slaves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna get out, I wanna get out
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
If I had another chance, I can't say what I'd do
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

Overall Meaning

The song "My Soul Is Empty and Full of White Girls" by Slaves is a haunting and introspective look at addiction and the emotional turmoil that comes with it. The lyrics speak to a desire to break free from the constant hold of “demons” that drive the singer to rely on drugs. The opening lines “I wanna get out, I wanna get out, I'm sick of giving in to these demons” set the tone for the entire song. The singer feels trapped in a cycle of addiction and longs to be free from its grasp.


The second verse delves deeper into the emotional pain of addiction, using vivid imagery to describe the singer’s drug use. The line “A small pinch and my whole world starts to spark” speaks to the temporary high that relieves the pain for a brief time. However, the following line “If I had another chance, I can't say what I'd do” suggests a hesitancy to fully embrace a life without drugs. Addiction is described as a “tricky thing” when it comes to coping with loss, hinting at a possible root cause for why the singer turned to drugs in the first place.


The chorus repeats the line “Sometimes I hear her cries, silence is the dirtiest trick in life” which adds a layer of complexity to the song. Here, the drug use is framed as a way to cope with a lost love. It is possible that the “demons” in question are the emotions that come along with losing someone important. Overall, the song speaks to the deep emotional pain that drives addiction and the constant struggle to break free.

Sounds nice! Had it playing in the backround while reading. Jonny has one of the best vocal ranges of anyone ive ever heard.

Kevin Perera

I love it. It sounds so much more chaotic, so much more hollow and bitter - it's tasty, and the guitar feels more technical. :D

Jabin

Cameron does the audio for Luke Holland's drum covers and they sound killer!

CHRISTIAN O'NEAL
