Empty Ring
Emptiness Beyond Victory
Lyrics
Careful not to end or fight no one
Cautiously avoid causing conflict or fighting with anyone.
Still battling on when all your enemies are gone
Continue the struggle even when all your adversaries have disappeared.
Making you look dumb and stupid
Being manipulated into looking foolish and senseless.
The empty ring
Symbolizing the emptiness or void, possibly in a metaphorical sense.
What would it matter to you
Questioning the significance to you if the anticipated joy is always prearranged.
If the pleasure always planned
Wondering about the value when the expected pleasure is readily available.
Was right there in your hand
The desired outcome or goal is within reach but unnoticed by others.
But no one there to see that
No one is present to witness or acknowledge your achievements.
The empty ring
Reiterating the symbolism of an empty or unfulfilled state.
The taste of fear and fortune,
Describing the experience of fear and success.
The smell of toil and sweat,
Conveying the senses of hard work and exertion.
But if the crowd ain't there to see it
The value of an accomplishment diminishes without an audience.
It's just another memory
Highlighting that without spectators, achievements become mere memories.
It's just another memory
Emphasizing the repetitiveness of this pattern in an empty arena.
In an empty ring, empty ring
Repeating the notion of an unattended or vacant space.
Words of wisdom fail you
Expressing the inadequacy of conventional wisdom in certain situations.
The time it takes to fall
Reflecting on the duration it takes to experience a downfall.
The crowd ain't there to see it
Stressing the importance of an audience in validating experiences.
It's just another memory
Reiterating that without observers, accomplishments are only memories.
Just another memory
Underscoring the repetitive nature of this theme in an empty setting.
In an empty ring, empty ring
Echoing the concept of an unoccupied or hollow environment.
With a world to listen to ya
Despite the world being attentive, still persisting in speaking.
Still rattling on when
Continuing to vocalize even after the war or struggle has been won.
All the war is won
A lack of recognition for the appropriate time to concede or stop.
You just don't know when to give up
Acknowledging victory, yet remaining in the state of emptiness.
You win, your the empty ring, empty ring
Reiterating the concept of an unfulfilled and vacant state despite winning.
