Bravo 4405! I am not actually a fan of the drugs or drug-related explanations of the lyrics but in this case I believe you are absolutely right. Your interpretation of the lyrics sounds logical and true, and suits dark/noir atmosphere of the song. Thanks a lot! |

| Morphine – Empty Box Lyrics

I rather agree with raven9; the image of "empty box" is illogical, it is an oxymoron like loud silence etc. She is sending him "an empty box" or "everything he never gave her" which means she is actually sending him her heart, her longing for him he could "fill up". But in the first place he does not understand or wants her feelings, for him it is " just an empty box" (=a needy woman whose feelings he can not satisfy). But after the dark period, "being too tired to swim anymore" he realizes that he made a mistake rejecting a true feeling, and now he is ready to feel her up with all of his presence. Deep and simple. |
