Empty Floor
Unveiling Life's Illusions: 'Empty Floor' by Jan Blomqvist
Lyrics
Emma wants the secret to be told
Emma desires the revelation of a hidden truth
That the fucking rainbow has no gold
Expressing that the apparent beauty (rainbow) lacks substance or value
And she knows exactly what to say
Emma is adept at articulating certain words or ideas
Confusing it completely the next day
Intentionally creating confusion in communication the following day
And we just wanna feel something we're not
A collective desire to experience something different from the norm
And forget about the limits that we got
Yearning to surpass or ignore established boundaries
Like you're losing your senses
Sensory perception is diminishing or being distorted
Abusing them too much
Overusing and potentially harming the senses
Another try to break the fences
Attempting to overcome obstacles or limitations
Seem to fall with just a touch
Vulnerability to setbacks, even with a gentle impact
The unsaid always talks to you at night
Unspoken thoughts resonate during the night
And you don't even know you, get it right
Not recognizing or understanding oneself correctly
And the days are passing by, as they do
The passage of time is inevitable, and days pass routinely
So Emma wants to stop the time with you
Emma desires to halt time when together
Like you're losing your senses
Similar to line 8, suggesting a continued loss of senses
Abusing them too much
Reiterating the potential harm caused by excessive sensory experiences
Your never-ending dance is
A perpetual dance that remains untarnished or unchanged
Endlessly untouched
Endlessly preserving a state of purity or untouched quality
The illusion of chances
An illusion of opportunities causing confusion
Confusing you too much
Experiencing too much confusion due to perceived chances
Another try to break the fences
Reattempting to overcome obstacles with potential failure
Seem to fall with just a touch
Similar to line 11, indicating vulnerability to setbacks
Emma knows exactly how you feel
Emma understands the emotions someone is going through
But you can't even ask if this is real
Despite understanding, one is unable to confirm the reality of the situation
Recorded voice cracks in, "please hold the line"
A pre-recorded voice interrupts, questioning the emptiness of the floor
Was the floor this empty all the time?
Raising awareness about the unnoticed emptiness of the surroundings
