Killin' Time
Whiskey-Fueled Reflections: Emery Adeline's Journey through Emptiness and Time
Lyrics
There's an emptiness that I fill with whiskey
Expressing a void or emptiness that is temporarily filled with whiskey.
Waiting for someone to miss me
Waiting for someone to notice or long for the speaker's presence.
I'm not lonely, I don't need anyone
Asserting independence, claiming not to be lonely, and stating a lack of need for others.
But sometimes I think it'd be kind of fun
Expressing a desire for the novelty or excitement of being missed by someone.
I'm not sad, but I'm not happy
Acknowledging a lack of extreme emotions—neither sad nor happy.
Waiting for someone to tell me what that means
Seeking clarification or understanding from someone about the speaker's emotional state.
I'm not lonely, I got plenty of time
Reiterating a lack of loneliness and emphasizing having ample time available.
So Ill waste my days while I'm killing time
Choosing to spend time aimlessly, suggesting a sense of boredom or lack of purpose.
So pour another glass
Encouraging the act of pouring another glass of whiskey.
Close your eyes and knock it back
Suggesting a carefree attitude—closing eyes and quickly consuming the drink.
Count the seconds that it burns
Counting the seconds of the burning sensation from the alcohol.
And yearn to feel some kind of hurt
Expressing a desire for some form of emotional pain or intensity.
It all feels just fine
Feeling content or satisfied despite the apparent contradictions in emotions.
It’s just wasting days and killing time
Summarizing the act of wasting time and killing time as acceptable or fine.
I remember when I used to feel it
Recalling a past emotion, possibly love or hope, that is no longer felt.
That hopeful thing when I was near him
Describing a positive emotion experienced in the past when near someone.
But we get older and the truth comes clear
Recognizing the impact of aging and the clarity that comes with it.
Time makes the heart grow numb my dear
Stating that time causes emotional numbness or a desensitization of the heart.
So pour another glass
Repeating the encouragement to pour another glass of whiskey.
Close your eyes and knock it back
Reiterating the carefree attitude of quickly consuming the drink.
Count the seconds that it burns
Counting the seconds of the burning sensation, emphasizing the physical experience.
And yearn to feel some kind of hurt
Expressing a desire for emotional intensity or pain through the act of yearning.
It all feels just fine
Emphasizing contentment despite the pursuit of potentially harmful experiences.
It’s just wasting days and killing time
Repeating the idea of wasting time and killing time as acceptable or fine.
There’s an emptiness that I fill with whiskey
Repeating the concept of filling an emptiness with whiskey.
I'm just waiting on someone to miss me
Expressing a longing for someone to miss the speaker, reiterating the theme of waiting.
