Cover art for Empty Lives lyrics by Star Fucking Hipsters

unless you die like all my friends meeting silent jaded ends then a lesson might be learned you can fade away & burn"

The first line is in reference to Stza's 3 dead best friends. I'm not sure how they died, however. The second line describes the end of their lives. The last two lines describe how even though there has been a tragedy, no matter how unfortunate, you have to move on with your life. You only have 1 life, It's not worth spending it in depression and sadness. The last line, I think, shows that maybe his friends were killed by being extremely reckless. Possibly as a teenager. When you think that you can do anything and not be hurt. It describes that you can be hurt or killed doing reckless stuff.

Beautiful song. Stza is a genius.
