"This band knows how to make great heart-felt music. I have to admit it was one of the best albums I have listened to all year."

“It’s hard to not be impressed by “It’s Alright”. The melody instantly imbeds itself into the listener’s psyche. It really feels like you guys are pouring your heart and soul into the performance.”

"The album is packed with every element you want from music, from the catchier hook of “It’s Alright” that could easily take over the radio waves, to the in-your-face, angst-ridden, tear-it-up “Only One.”

"This is a trio of undeniably talented musicians, who know how to take that talent and weave it into music that can reach out and grab even the unlikeliest fan. It’s hard to find such strong songwriting in music now.”

Emotionless
The Better World Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Matt Coban)
You've taken all that's left away from me
And left me standing here with my youth to bleed
And I don't know what I can do to make you understand
That everything I need is nothing you can give
And you don't know the feeling
I can sit here faceless
You still won't know what to say
I never knew I felt like this before
So would you catch me if I start to fall?
And I don't know what I can do to make you understand
That everything I need is nothing you can give
And you don't know the feeling
It's just too much to explain (I don't know where you are)
I can sit here faceless
You still won't know what to say
Is there anybody out there?
Who's ever gone this far
Is there anybody out there, who's gone far?
And you don't know the feeling
It's just too much to explain
I did it all for you
The song "Emotionless" by The Better World is about the feeling of emptiness that the singer experiences after a relationship ends. The lyrics express the pain of losing someone and feeling like everything has been taken away, even one's own youth. The singer feels like he can't express the depth of his emotions, and no one else can understand what he's going through.
The refrain "You don't know the feeling, it's just too much to explain" emphasizes the sense of isolation that the singer feels. He has attempted to convey his emotions, but they are too overwhelming and complex to put into words. The singer is left with a feeling of being "faceless," as if he has lost his identity and purpose.
The final lines of the song, "I did it all for you," suggest that the relationship ended because the singer was trying to please the other person, rather than being true to himself. He is left feeling empty and alone, and wonders if anyone else has experienced the same pain.
