Half Empty Boy
Half Empty Boy: A Poetic Journey through Life's Shadows
Lyrics
Let's take it to the start
Initiating a journey or story from the beginning
I was maybe sixteen
Reflecting on being around the age of sixteen
I had my eyes on a dream
Expressing aspirations and ambitions
To be a writer a poet or something
Desiring to become a writer or poet
Where I could spread my wings
Seeking a space to express oneself freely
But I was shot from the sky
Experiencing a setback or failure
It was a bloody sight
Describing a traumatic or violent incident
I lost a part of me
Emotionally wounded, losing a part of oneself
Now I walk the Earth
Navigating through life despite challenges
To write about the bore
Choosing to write about mundane or uninteresting aspects
The fog that sits over me
Depicting a personal struggle or emotional obscurity
I'm that half empty boy, I'm that half empty boy, I'm that half empty boy
Reiterating a self-perception as a half-empty person
And I'll fill up your cups
Offering to uplift others by filling their metaphorical cups
We'll dance down the streets
Envisioning a joyful and carefree communal experience
We'll all be happy
Anticipating collective happiness
I'm that half empty boy, I'm that half empty boy, I'm that half empty boy
Reiterating the self-perception as a half-empty individual
And I'll fill up your cups
Repeating the offer to bring positivity to others
We'll dance on the tables
Imagining a lively celebration on tables
Till there's nothing left in me
Expressing a willingness to exhaust oneself for joy
I started to get into habits
Acknowledging the development of harmful habits
That would bury me six feet underground
Conveying a sense of self-destruction or decline
I'd close my eyes
Describing a contemplative state with closed eyes
Think maybe this time
Expressing a recurring feeling of descent or failure
I'm going down, down, down
Emphasizing a downward spiral or struggle
I'd read in books
Referencing external influences like books and films
Watch films how I would probably end up
Expecting a bleak outcome based on external sources
And that's when I decided I wasn't, I wasn't, fit for death
Rejecting the idea of being ready for death
Not yet
Asserting a current unpreparedness for death
I'm that half empty boy, I'm that half empty boy, I'm that half empty boy
Reiteration of self-perceived emptiness
And I'll fill up your cups
Offering to bring positivity despite personal emptiness
We'll dance down the streets
Imagining a shared joy in the streets
We'll all be happy
Visualizing a collective state of happiness
I'm that half empty boy, I'm that half empty boy, I'm that half empty boy
Reiterating a self-identity as a half-empty individual
And I'll fill up your cups
Continuing the offer to fill others' cups with positivity
We'll dance on the tables
Envisioning a lively celebration on tables, possibly to exhaustion
Till there's nothing left in me
Expressing a potential depletion of personal resources
