Overall Meaning

The song "Empty" by Tura Satana is a painful yet powerful rendition of how a person can lose themselves entirely in a toxic relationship. The chorus of the song, "now all I am is empty, got nothing left of me and it's killing me to be so empty" explains how the singer has completely given up themselves, their identity, and their sense of self-worth in the relationship. The lyrics portray a desperate need to break free from the emotional pain and emptiness caused by the other person's actions. The singer pleads to take away their eyes so they won't see the other person, their ears so they won't hear them, their pride so they won't lose them, their fists and hands so they won't hurt them, and finally even their lips so they won't be lusted for by the other person. All they're left with is a feeling of emptiness and an intense desire for release from the relationship.


The bridge of the song explains the singer's fear of not being able to overcome their resentment and hold onto the past, "As long as I hold you in contempt, I hold you... Resentment is just my way of holding on." But the singer soon realizes they need to take responsibility for their situation, admitting "and now it's one I feel no pain, I can't pretend I'm not the same. Stole my sole self-control, you don't know me anymore. Tried to hide the way you kept me but you left me f*ckin empty, you left me so f*ckin empty. And I'm the one to blame."
