Okay now this is the only Emery tune that I listen to on a regular basis, and to me it describes the hole in each of us that regularly struggles with things in the earth that we try to use to fill the space that only God can fill. Sex, drugs, clothes, our outer shell, whatever. I like the line about perfect shoes with matching clothes, because women especially think that dressing perfectly will make their life perfect. Material things and sex and drugs will work only temporarily, until we see that we've come to the place where that's not working anymore, and we try to fill it with more of the same or something new. There describes the typical unsaved American. The only thing that fills this space is Jesus. I know from experience, and always come back to the same thing. Jesus is the only one that can give me peace beyond all understanding.
