An Empty Vessel
Emptiness Unveiled: Life's Struggle with Paranoia and Betrayal
Lyrics
Free me from the confines of my mind
Feeling trapped and seeking liberation from mental constraints.
I need a sign
Expressing a need for guidance or a clear signal.
The consequences, circumstances
Reflecting on the outcomes and situations that have blinded the speaker due to someone else's life choices.
That surround your life has left me blind
Feeling haunted and affected by the consequences of another person's actions.
I feel haunted
Experiencing a sense of being pursued or troubled by something.
Paranoia strangles me
Paranoia is tightening its grip on the speaker.
And there’s no one else to blame
Taking responsibility with no one else to blame.
Dead eyed and indifferent
Feeling emotionally detached and numb.
What have you done to me?
Questioning the impact of someone else's actions on the speaker.
I am awakened
Becoming aware or enlightened about the situation.
Your black cloud follows me
Continuously affected by negativity or adversity represented as a "black cloud."
Berate me with words from where you are
Receiving harsh criticism or blame from a distance.
Another momentary lapse of judgement
Acknowledging a temporary lapse in judgment.
When you push too far
Consequences when boundaries are pushed too far.
And I never gave a thought
Not considering the consequences in the past.
You asked for a single drop of blood
Recalling a demand for sacrifice or pain.
And the next thing that I knew
Being transformed into an empty, drained state.
I was an empty vessel
Feeling cursed by the failures inherited from someone else.
Cursed by your hereditary failures
Reflecting on a prolonged state of wakefulness or unawareness.
Have I been awake for days
Questioning the duration of a challenging or dormant period.
Or have I been asleep for years?
Highlighting the persistence of a negative influence within.
The same disease it flows inside me, sadly
Comparing a person to a parasite that takes until nothing remains.
You were a parasite
Expressing bitterness and acknowledging the lingering internal pain.
Who took ‘til there was nothing left to give
Clarifying the intent of the song as closure rather than resentment.
Bitter emptiness, this is who we are What’s left alive still burns on the inside
Emphasizing the collective strength required to face daily challenges.
(This is not a song of resentment, this is finally closure
Repeating the theme of receiving blame from a distance.
And when every day is a death sentence, we have to band together stronger than ever before)
Reiterating the need for unity in the face of constant difficulties.
Berate me with words from where you are
Recalling harsh criticism and judgment from afar.
Another momentary lapse of judgement
Acknowledging another lapse in judgment under pressure.
When you push too far
Highlighting the consequences of pushing boundaries too much.
And I never gave a thought
Reiterating the lack of consideration for consequences in the past.
You asked for a single drop of blood
Recalling a demand for sacrifice or pain.
And the next thing that I knew
Being transformed into an empty, drained state.
I was an empty vessel for you
Reiterating the theme of becoming an empty vessel due to external demands.
I was an empty vessel for you...
Repeating the realization of being an empty vessel for someone else.
