Empty Lyrics

I see you
I want you
I need you
confront you
I'd love you
to rape me
I need you
to break me

tell me how to sit around
making my life so empty
tell me how to sit around
cause I don't think you want to know me now
know me now

I feel you
can steal you
I hear you
I fear you
I steal you
to heal you
I feed you
and milk you

tell me how to sit around
making my life so empty
tell me how to sit around
cause I don't think you want to know me now
know me now

I can't be, I can't be what you want
I can't be what you want
I can't be, I can't be what you want
I can't be what you want

tell me how to sit around
making my life so empty
tell me how to sit around
cause I don't think you want to know know know know [etc..]

oh yeah
oh
oh yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this is about rejection from an ex or a friend you want to be more.

This song seems to draw some lineage back to Nirvana with the whole "Rape Me" line, and Morgan has cited Nirvana as the reason he picked up a guitar at all. Obviously he wants someone, a girl, but there's something wrong, he's corrupted maybe and that's why she's denying him and that's why he's angry. Maybe he isn't "good" enough for this person and that's why they're denying him, hence the "I can't be what you want." and "'Cause I don't think you want to know me now." But great song, I never knew it existed, and I've been in love with Seether for about a year now.
