The musical work often tells the story of Kova and Luna; personifications of the sun and the moon and their lives, as well their fight against darker forces.
The Abyss
We Are The Empty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're what i needed, as a friend
(THATS WHO YOU WERE)
The dark surrounds me, when i fade
Did you really really want, to leave me here?
Giving off all the hurt!
Black
Come
Sky, fades for the storm
And you
Let the sorrow take ahold,
And play
Blistering and stuck in nothing,
Dropped and left me here to fade away
Dark Abyss
Constantly it's separating,
Leaves imply that I can not be safe...
With,
I'm back with a tension, once again
(Our love is sacred, so let me fend)
You're what i needed, as a friend
(And you were thinking, you could depend)
The dark surrounds me, when i fade
Did you really really want, to leave me here?
Giving off all the hurt!
Blood
Takes
So
Much
Time, breaks for a walk
And me...
Well tomorrow we can see our fate
Darkened thoughts are everlasting
Harder than the memories I hold,
Close, to
Imagine, in an effort fighting,
How much we could take away from
Hope...
It's hard... breathe
It's hard to take,
It's hard to make
When everyone is darker
Pay, and start the blame
Directed by a part of me,
Remarkably, its starting to get hard to
Hard to breathe, hard to breathe
(It's starting to get)
Hard, to, breathe
Hard, to, breathe
HARD, to, breathe
HARD TO BREATHE!!!
Black, rain, come
Don't wait for
I'll bring some
Lines take for
Could I see,
Just what you need?
Once more in the black storm
Ripping me!
Did you really really want to leave me here?
You take my whole, and throw it away
That's what I was, just a game!
I'l never, make it out alive...
The song "The Abyss" by We Are The Empty starts with the singer feeling tension once again and realizing that the person he needed as a friend has left him alone in the dark. The black rain symbolizes the sadness that he is going through and he questions why someone he trusted would hurt him like this. As the chorus repeats, the singer struggles to breathe and cope with the pain of being abandoned by someone he held sacred.
The second verse represents the singer's struggle to move on and accept that the person he trusted is gone. The memories of the past and the uncertainty of the future intensify his dark thoughts and make it even harder for him to breathe. The repeated "hard to breathe" screams at the end of the song show that the pain is all-consuming and suffocating.
Overall, the song is a powerful and emotional representation of the pain and confusion that comes with being betrayed by someone you trusted.

You were what I needed, as a companion
(THATS WHO YOU WERE)
That's who you were
The dark surrounds me, when i fade
The darkness envelops me when I disappear
Did you really really want, to leave me here?
Did you really want to abandon me here?
Giving off all the hurt!
Emitting all the anguish!
Sky, fades for the storm
The sky fades in preparation for the storm
And you
And you
Let the sorrow take ahold,
Allowing grief to take over,
And play
And play
Blistering and stuck in nothing,
Painful and trapped in emptiness,
Dropped and left me here to fade away
Thrown down and abandoned here to disappear
Dark Abyss
Black chasm
Constantly it's separating,
It's constantly pushing us apart,
Leaves imply that I can not be safe...
The evidence suggests that I cannot be secure...

When everyone is darker

Controlled by a part of me,

Surprisingly, it's becoming difficult to
Hard to breathe, hard to breathe
Difficult to breathe, hard to breathe

Precisely what do you require?
Once more in the black storm
Once again in the dark storm
Ripping me!
Tearing me apart!
Did you really really want to leave me here?
Did you really want to abandon me here?
You take my whole, and throw it away
You take everything I have, and discard it
That's what I was, just a game!
That's all I was, just a game!
I'l never, make it out alive...
I'll never survive...

Heard your recent single "Down to the Abyss" and I can see that it's a nice callback to this song as well. I gotta say, you've grown a lot a musician but I love your work, even from 8 years ago
