King of Empty
Embracing Indifference: King of Empty's Profound Message
Lyrics
Where have you been all this time
Questioning the absence of someone during a period.
I used to mourn the empty space that you'd occupy
Expressing previous sorrow over the void created by that person.
Now I don't know why I'm supposed to care
Reflecting uncertainty about why caring is expected now.
It's not that I hate you now
Clarifying that current feelings are not hatred towards the person.
It's not that I loved you then
Stating that love for the person did not exist in the past.
I just closed the door on what came before
Deciding to move on from the past and close the emotional door.
And let indifference set in
Embracing indifference as a coping mechanism.
Far below a deep duplicity
Describing a profound deception existing below the surface.
Long ago you were my enemy
Acknowledging the person as a past adversary.
You were my enemy
Reiterating the person's role as an enemy.
In times you won't remember
Referring to forgotten times.
You were the king of empty
Labeling the person as the "king of empty," possibly suggesting emotional emptiness.
A void where a life once grew
Describing a void left by the person where life used to thrive.
When they all knew what you'd become
Highlighting a transformation in the person that others recognized.
It's not that they love you now
Stating that current feelings from others are not based on love or hatred.
Or hated you back then
Clarifying the absence of past love or hatred towards the person.
But your fading fame eclipsed your name
Explaining that the person's fading fame overshadowed their name.
And indifference set in
Indicating the onset of indifference due to the person's changed status.
Far below a deep duplicity
Reiterating the existence of a hidden deceit.
Long ago you were my enemy
Recalling the person's past role as an adversary.
You were my enemy
Emphasizing the person's historical status as an enemy.
How could I have been so careless
Expressing regret or self-blame for previous carelessness.
Clenched the thorns of poison flowers
Metaphorically holding onto painful memories represented by poison flowers.
Those moments bloomed devouring years
Describing how moments of pain consumed a significant part of life.
The tears you shed for me
Rejecting the emotional impact of the person's tears.
I reject them
Denying acceptance of sympathy from the person.
And I accept no sympathy
Refusing any emotional support or understanding.
Far below a deep duplicity
Repeating the presence of a hidden deception.
Long ago you were my enemy
Reiterating the person's past status as an enemy.
You were my enemy
Emphasizing the historical enmity with the person.
The king of empty
Summarizing the person as the "king of empty," possibly signifying emotional emptiness or void.
