Metric – Empty Lyrics 19 years ago
goollogo has the closest idea. In my mind it's about everyone and how they conform "There was no way out, the only way out was to give in" meaning you need to fit into a personality or style and from the chorus it sounds like a mosh pitt or concert of some sort where all the brainless "empty" headed conformer fill the room. The line near the end "I'm so glad that I'm an island now." is saying how she useto be one of them. now shes not and happy about it.
oh dang i havent got to see 'em live!

Metric – Butcher Lyrics 19 years ago
It reminded me of a girl who abuses herself to get the guy she loves to notice and care about her more and it works but now she can't stop the self harm. The abusive relationship thing makes sense too though. Either way this song is about abuse (of some sort) , love and devotion.
