Smile Empty Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the error of my ways, never listen to the sound
When you're crying out in pain
You push me deep in the river and drown the part of me
Forever that loved and ever gave a shit about you
So don't be surprised when i figure it out
I don't wanna see you foam at the mouth
We're through
In this place, you can feel it if you're still
Every part of me that aches, over throwing every will
'cause i'm tired of this pain
You push me deep in the river and drown the part of me
Forever that loved and ever gave a shit about you
So don't be surprised when i figure it out
I don't wanna see you foam at the mouth
When i tell you that i'm gonna leave you
We're through
I tried to tell myself that we can work it out but i was wrong
I'm tired of this hell
I think it's time for me to move on to another one now
You push me deep in the river and drown the part of me
Forever that loved and ever gave a shit about you
So don't be surprised when i figure it out
I don't wanna see you foam at the mouth
When i tell you that i'm gonna leave you
We're through
The lyrics of the song We’re Through by Smile Empty Soul speak of a relationship that has hit rock bottom. The singer admits to having made mistakes that have driven the other person to pain and tears. However, he seems to have given up completely on the relationship and feels that it is time to move on. He talks about feeling like he’s drowning in the relationship, and it is coming to a point where it’s too much for him to handle. The lines “In your face, I can see I’ve let you down” and “You push me deep in the river and drown the part of me, forever that loved and ever gave a shit about you” indicate a sense of guilt on the singer's part as well as a feeling of being overwhelmed.
The lyrics convey an emotional desolation with lines like “I’m tired of this pain” and “I’m tired of this hell.” Overall, the song is about having the courage to walk away from a relationship that is not working out anymore. It is a song that many people who have been in a hopeless relationship may be able to relate to. The chorus “I don't wanna see you foam at the mouth when I tell you that I'm gonna leave you, we're through” signifies the finality of a relationship that is beyond repair.
