Empty vessel under the sun wipe the dust
from my face another morning black sunday
coming down again empty vessel empty veins
empty bottle wish for rain that pain again
wash the blood off my face the pulse from
my brain and i feel that pain again
im looking over my shoulder cos millions
will whisper im killing myself again maybe
im dying faster but nothing ever last i
remember a night from my past when i was
stabbed in the back and its all coming
back and i feel that pain again
i abhor you i condemn you cos this pain
will never end you got away without a
scratch and now youre walking on a lucky
path i have to laugh but youd better watch
your back
theres pathetic opposition theyre the
cause of my condition ill be coming back
for them ive a solution for this sad
situation nothing left but to kill myself
again because im so empty
from my face another morning black sunday
coming down again empty vessel empty veins
empty bottle wish for rain that pain again
wash the blood off my face the pulse from
my brain and i feel that pain again
will whisper im killing myself again maybe
im dying faster but nothing ever last i
remember a night from my past when i was
stabbed in the back and its all coming
back and i feel that pain again
will never end you got away without a
scratch and now youre walking on a lucky
path i have to laugh but youd better watch
your back
cause of my condition ill be coming back
for them ive a solution for this sad
situation nothing left but to kill myself
again because im so empty

please comment i this one, is between the best songs I ever heard
This is really a great song from a great band. It is like a relationship has ended and now the person has encoutered a similar situation which reminds him of the past that he was betrayed.. I really can't understand how Anathema play as support for HIM!! It's outrageous!!!
Anathema is much better then HIM.. i enjoyed them when they supported porcupine tree, it was geat
about the song.. funny haha at a first glance i thought it was about being drunk..drinking away your problems and killing yourself that way..
but i think now it is about a relationship indeed
I think this song is about killing yourself with things that you know are bad for you and realizing that this is what's happening but you feel like it's too late for yourself.
I definitely think that this song specifically has to do with drugs, because if it had to do with drinking it'd probably be something more along the lines of being empty bottle before it's empty vessel.
Vessel can be a lot of things but in relation to the veins I'm definitely thinking it's a drug reference. the pulse of my brain line is more than likely the effects of the hangover.
this song is by far one of the best songs i've ever heard in my life, I love anathema.
