Cover art for Empty Bottle lyrics by Ingrid Michaelson

Curious as to what the "When the cracks on my bedroom ceiling give me this empty bottle feeling" really means. To me, it's def about finding out what is making you sad and changing it.

think it's time for me to repaint myself.

I think she's referring to a lost lover that she is still holding onto. Imagine lying in bed Looking up at the cracks in the ceiling and realizing the make you remember times when you were together in that very same spot. That sort of emptiness is definitely cause for reinventing yourself.
