Smile Empty Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bitch about what you've created
All caught up in the masquerade
You've already been paid and made it
So don't pretend to know what it's like
To feel the things that we must live through
You only see with your dying eyes
There's only one thing I will ask of you
[Chorus]
Can you take this life
Can you make it right
Do you have the words to say to make it
All go away
You act so wise
And so refined
You can keep your lies 'cause I'm
Never gonna go your way
Promises of a better life
But what's wrong with the one I'm leading
Everyone has a different fight
A different wound that keeps them bleeding
So what's wrong with a little fun
Everybody needs to find their something
Is this how your gonna treat your son
Fuck 'em up and give em nothing
[Chorus]
Everybody needs to find their own way through life
Everybody needs to find their own way
The lyrics to Smile Empty Soul's song "Your Way" describe the frustration and anger towards those who seem to judge and criticize others for the choices they have made. The opening line, "Stand there with your ball and chain," paints a picture of someone who is stuck in their own ways, unable to move forward or see beyond their own perspective. The line "Bitch about what you've created" suggests that this person is not only critical of others but also dissatisfied with their own accomplishments. The singer accuses this person of being "caught up in the masquerade," implying that they are hiding behind a facade of perfection.
The chorus of the song is a challenge to this person, questioning whether or not they can handle the struggles and hardships of life. The singer asks, "Can you take this life? Can you make it right?" The chorus suggests that this person is disconnected from reality and is not facing the challenges that many people encounter in daily life. The singer challenges this person to "make it all go away" and to provide solutions to the problems that people face.
The second verse of the song highlights the fact that everyone has their own struggles and challenges in life. The singer argues that there is nothing wrong with finding joy and pleasure in life, and that everyone needs to find their own path. The line "Fuck 'em up and give em nothing" suggests the singer's disdain for those who judge others and do not provide support or guidance.
Overall, the song is a powerful message about self-discovery and the importance of finding one's own way in life. It is a reminder to avoid being judgmental of others and to embrace the individuality and diversity of human experience.
Line by Line Meaning
Stand there with your ball and chain
You are stuck in your own routine and feeling burdened by it.
Bitch about what you've created
You are complaining about the life you have created for yourself
All caught up in the masquerade
You are pretending to be someone you're not
You've already been paid and made it
You have achieved success, but still feel unsatisfied
So don't pretend to know what it's like
Don't act like you understand the struggles others go through
To feel the things that we must live through
We all have our own battles to fight
You only see with your dying eyes
Your perspective is limited by your own experiences
There's only one thing I will ask of you
I have one request for you
Can you take this life
Are you capable of handling this life?
Can you make it right
Can you fix the problems that exist in this world?
Do you have the words to say to make it
Do you possess the right words to solve the issues?
All go away
Make all problems disappear?
You act so wise
You present yourself as knowledgeable
And so refined
And sophisticated
You can keep your lies 'cause I'm
I'm not interested in your lies
Never gonna go your way
I'll choose my own path
Promises of a better life
There are expectations that things will improve
But what's wrong with the one I'm leading
Why is my current situation not satisfactory?
Everyone has a different fight
We all face our own struggles
A different wound that keeps them bleeding
Scarred by different experiences that still haunt them
So what's wrong with a little fun
Why can't we experience joy in life?
Everybody needs to find their something
Everyone needs to find something that brings them happiness
Is this how your gonna treat your son
Are you going to subject your own child to the same pain?
Fuck 'em up and give em nothing
Let them suffer and get nothing in return
Everybody needs to find their own way through life
Everyone needs to find their own path in this life

Stand there with your ball and chain
Bitch about what you've created
Woke up in the masquerade
You've already been paid and made it
So don't pretend to know what it's like
To feel the things that we must live through
You only see with your dying eyes
There's only one thing i will ask of you
Can you take this life
Can you make it right
Do you have the words to say to make it
All go away
You act so wise
And so refined
You can keep your lies cos I'm
Never gonna go your way
Promises of a better life
But what's wrong with the one I'm leading
Everyone has a different fight
A different wound that keeps them bleeding
So what's wrong with a little fun
Everybody needs to find their something
Is this how your gonna treat your son
Fuck 'em up and give em nothing
[Chorus]
Everybody needs to find their own way through life
Everybody needs to find their own way
