Empty Bottles
Broken Promises and Empty Bottles: A Tale of Desperation
Lyrics
Isolation
Feeling of being alone, disconnected
And the medication
Using medication, possibly to cope or escape
And the grudge you hold
Harboring resentment or anger
Empty bottles
Symbolizing emptiness, possibly linked to alcoholism
Left you hollow
Feeling empty or devoid of emotions
Couldn't soothe your soul
Alcohol or substances couldn't bring comfort or peace
And your words were a loaded gun
Words spoken with harmful impact
Shot me down then you sobered up
Impactful words followed by realization or sobriety
And hung me out to dry
Feeling abandoned or betrayed
Tied down on your nine to five
Feeling trapped in a routine, possibly unsatisfying work
What it takes just to satisfy
Meeting requirements just for appeasement
I hope it spares your life
Wishing well despite the hurt caused
I found those pictures
Discovery of hidden truths or evidence
And all that liquor
Connection to excessive alcohol consumption
You thought I'd never find
Surprise at finding what was thought to be concealed
You kept it secret
Keeping something hidden for personal reasons
You had your reasons
Having justifications for one's actions
When you cross that line
Crossing a moral or personal boundary
You knew the message
Understanding the intended communication
And learned the lessons
Gaining knowledge from experiences, but losing hope
But you lost your hope
Recognizing a situation beyond repair
I couldn't fix it
Unable to solve or mend a situation
I couldn't change it
Feeling helpless to bring about change
Gotta let it go
Accepting the need to move on
And your words were a loaded gun
Words with destructive power
Shot me down then you sobered up
Impactful words followed by realization or sobriety
And hung me out to dry
Feeling abandoned or betrayed
Tied down on your nine to five
Feeling trapped in a routine, possibly unsatisfying work
What it takes just to satisfy
Meeting requirements just for appeasement
I hope it spares your life
Wishing well despite the hurt caused
Oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Repetitive chorus emphasizing the impact of hurtful words and consequences
Whoa oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
-Whoa oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh
-Your words were a loaded gun
-Shot me down then you sobered up
-And hung me out to dry
-Laid off from your nine to five
-You couldn't stop so you paid the price
-I hope it spares your life
-Oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
-Whoa oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
-Whoa oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh
