BACKLIT BOTTLES
Echoes of Emptiness: Backlit Bottles and the Dance of Broken Souls
Lyrics
I've got nothin'
I feel empty or lacking in something.
Empty room with all the breath kicked out
The room is devoid of life or energy, and I feel deflated.
Silent pages
The pages are without sound or words.
Staring me down, selling me doubt
The pages are challenging me, causing me to doubt myself.
Sidewalk, beneath my feet
I'm walking on a sidewalk.
Against the light, I cross the street
I'm crossing the street against the light.
Night is whispering in my ear
The night is speaking to me.
Stop, this is only fear
I need to stop; my fear is irrational.
Ice in a glass, music to my soul
Ice in a glass is comforting; music brings solace.
Drink and a dream are keeping me whole
Drinking and dreaming are maintaining my well-being.
If I could write a song, this is where it starts
The idea of writing a song begins here.
Backlit bottles and broken hearts
Backlit bottles and broken hearts are inspirations for the song.
In the mirror
I see a stranger in the mirror.
I'm the stranger staring back at me
I am unfamiliar to myself.
Bartender’s pouring
A bartender is pouring drinks generously.
Like a boy with a bucket filling up the sea
Similar to a boy filling up the sea with a bucket, it seems futile.
Underwater, I breathe in
I'm submerged underwater.
beaten down, paper-thin
I feel beaten down and fragile.
Up above I see a hand
I see help above, but I don't want it.
But I'm not looking for dry land
I'm not seeking a solution or escape.
Ice in a glass, music to my soul
Ice in a glass and music provide comfort.
Drink and a dream are keeping me whole
Drinking and dreaming sustain me emotionally.
If I could write a song, this is where it starts
The songwriting process is initiated here.
Backlit bottles and broken hearts
Backlit bottles and broken hearts inspire the song.
Ooh, and I’ve been gone so long
I've been absent for a long time.
It doesn’t feel like anyone can find me
It feels like I'm untraceable or unreachable.
I’ve got nothing
I still feel empty or lacking in something.
Empty room with all the breath kicked out
The room remains lifeless, and I feel deflated.
Ice in a glass, music to my soul
Ice in a glass and music continue to provide solace.
Drink and a dream are keeping me whole
Drinking and dreaming are crucial for my well-being.
If I could write a song, this is where it starts
The songwriting process is ongoing.
Backlit bottles and broken hearts
Backlit bottles and broken hearts are persistent sources of inspiration for the song.
