Lyrics
This city is an empty glass
This city is desolate and hollow, devoid of life or vitality.
Words do not hear
Communication or expression is ineffective or unheard.
No one sleeps
There's a pervasive restlessness or insomnia, a sense of constant activity or alertness.
This city is an empty glass
The emptiness and lack of substance in the city persist.
Graciousness is lost
Kindness or politeness has disappeared or is absent.
The betrayed yearn
Those who have been betrayed long for something they've lost or been deprived of.
This city is an empty glass
The emptiness of the city is reiterated, emphasizing the closure or absence of commercial spaces.
Shops are closed
There's a lack of activity or commerce due to the emptiness.
There is nothing to
An unfinished thought, possibly indicating a lack of purpose or direction.
This city is an empty glass
The desolation of the city is underlined, suggesting a shrinking or collapsing environment.
The buildings shrink as everything weeps
Structures diminish in size or importance while expressing sorrow or despair.
This city is an empty glass
The city's hollowness and lack of substance continue to be emphasized.
The trees hang their heads and the wired wants fade, fray
Nature's elements (trees, wires) droop or decline, while desires dissipate.
The swans sim silent leads
Muted or silenced voices lead, possibly indicating a loss of direction or guidance.
This city is an empty glass
The emptiness of the city persists.
In the air: shrieks
There's a presence of distress or cries in the air, alongside an enduring feeling.
The breath is long
Time feels prolonged or stretched out.
For the fires are out and the waters sit still
The absence of vitality (fires out) and movement (still waters) is highlighted.
This city is an empty glass
The city remains desolate and empty, mirroring the opening line.
