Empty Eyes
Lost in Echoes: Unraveling the Enigma of Empty Eyes by Mantis State
Lyrics
Do I need ya?
Questioning the necessity of someone
Am I fine?
Asking about personal well-being
Have I lost my mind?
Wondering if sanity has been lost
Is it over?
Questioning the end of something
My thoughts chime
Internal thoughts resound
You play the singer I act the mime
Describing a dynamic where one performs while the other remains silent
And I cannot tell
Unable to differentiate reality from reflection
My reflections seeing someone else
Seeing a changed version of oneself in reflections
But you don't seem to care
Not showing concern
Paranoia's slipping out it's lair
Fear or anxiety emerging
Take my mind away
Wishing to escape mentally
I want to move
Desire for movement or change
But I'm still caught on you
Still emotionally attached
Leading me astray
Leading off the intended path
I'm hypnotised
Entranced or captivated
By empty eyes
Fascinated by eyes lacking depth or emotion
I want to know
Desire for communication
Just talk things over
Wanting to discuss things
But all I see are those empty eyes
Seeing lack of emotional connection
If the subject rose
Expecting emotional numbness in a situation
You'd not be sober
Expecting emotional insobriety if a topic arises
And all I'd see are those empty eyes
Anticipating encountering emotionless gazes
Poker faces
Referring to unreadable expressions
Distent spaces
Noting distant emotional states
Conversations back three paces
Conversations regressing or stalling
In the deep end
Metaphorical indication of being in a difficult situation
Trees are creaking
Nature sounds emphasizing desolation
Tumbleweeds are slowly sweeping
Symbolizing desolation or emptiness
Take my mind away
Desire to escape mentally
I want to move
Desire for change or freedom
But I'm still caught on you
Emotional attachment remains
Leading me astray
Being led away from the intended path emotionally
I'm hypnotised
Entranced or captivated
By empty eyes
Fascinated by eyes lacking depth or emotion
I want to know
Desire for communication
Just talk things over
Wanting to discuss things
But all I see are those empty eyes
Seeing lack of emotional connection
If the subject rose
Expecting emotional numbness in a situation
You'd not be sober
Expecting emotional insobriety if a topic arises
And all I'd see are those empty eyes
Anticipating encountering emotionless gazes
Ooooooooo
Non-verbal vocalizations indicating emotions
Ooooooooo

-Ah ah
-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Expressive vocalization
