some faded band t-shirts and dickies pants
empty boxes electrical/audio
and a pile of my unwashed clothes
wall to wall with videos

got books and posters pressed against the wall
got half empty bottle filled with alcohol
(lamp and furniture and t.v. too)
i don't have you

got a radio, dvd too
got a bed but its empty without you




and a pile of my unwashed clothes
wall to wall with videos

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Empty by Stole Your Woman depicts the feeling of emptiness in a person's life after a relationship ends. The first verse of the song is a simple description of the physical environment that the person inhabits, with items like faded band t-shirts, empty boxes, unwashed clothes, and videos scattered around, indicating a lack of organization and care. The second verse highlights the emotional state of the person, as they surround themselves with alcohol and other distractions like books and posters to fill the void left by the absence of their lover.


The chorus reinforces the overall feeling of desolation, with references to an empty bed and an empty existence without the presence of the one who left. The repetition of the phrase "wall to wall with videos" serves as a metaphor for the superficial layer of distractions that the person has surrounded themselves with, as they try to fill the emptiness and forget the past. However, at the core, they are still alone and wracked with grief, as indicated by the final statement "I don't have you."


Overall, the song Empty is a poignant portrayal of the aftermath of a breakup, capturing the sense of loneliness and disconnection that comes when someone is suddenly gone from your life.
