(Verse 1) The neon lights flicker, a cold sign of life, Crowds rushing past me, all chasing a price. But I’m just a shadow, lost in the glow, Looking for meaning in things I don’t own. (Pre-Chorus) And the aisles stretch on forever, Promises for sale. But the weight of all this plastic Feels like I’m doomed to fail. (Chorus) Empty shelves, empty heart, I’m breaking down in a parking lot. What I wanted, I don’t know, But it’s not here, it’s not here. All these things can’t fill the space, The cracks you left, they’re wide as grace. Empty shelves, empty hands, And I’m still searching for where I stand. (Verse 2) The carousel's spinning, but I’ve stepped aside, The world keeps on buying, and I can’t decide. Do I need more to hold me, or less to let go? The silence is heavy, and I’m all alone. (Pre-Chorus) And the sales can’t buy forgiveness, No discount for regret. Every shiny thing’s a mirror, Reflecting what’s unmet. (Chorus) Empty shelves, empty heart, I’m breaking down in a parking lot. What I wanted, I don’t know, But it’s not here, it’s not here. All these things can’t fill the space, The cracks you left, they’re wide as grace. Empty shelves, empty hands, And I’m still searching for where I stand. (Bridge) There’s a silence in the madness, Like a prayer I can’t repeat. I hear your voice in the echoes, In the rhythm of my feet. And I wonder if you’re out there, Chasing dreams that don’t exist. Did we both lose what we needed, While we clutched the fleeting bliss? (Outro) Empty shelves, empty skies, The stars are dim where the city lies. What I needed, I don’t know, But it’s not here, it’s not here. Empty shelves, empty me, A soul unfilled in a world of greed. And I’ll keep walking, through the night, Maybe one day, I’ll get it right.

The song conveys a deep sense of loneliness and longing, reflecting on the emptiness that consumerism brings and the search for meaning and connection in a materialistic world. The emotions range from despair and frustration to fleeting hope, creating a poignant atmosphere.
This song is suitable for reflective listening in moments of introspection, such as during late-night drives, quiet evenings, or whenever one grapples with feelings of emptiness or confusion about life. It may resonate with individuals going through a transition or searching for their identity.
Lyrically, the song employs vivid imagery, metaphors, and contrasting ideas (such as abundance vs. emptiness) to illustrate its themes. The structure includes verses, pre-choruses, and a bridge, allowing for emotional build-up and release. Musically, it likely features simple yet effective melodic lines and harmonies that complement the introspective nature of the lyrics, using piano and soft instrumentals common in indie pop.
I’m feeling fresh 'cause I took a shower And I’m at zero power Now what should I do next? Is the actual question, oh so perplexed. Should I sleep or study, oh what’s the best plan? Dreaming or learning, I need a hand. Caught in this moment, I can’t decide, But I’ll go with my heart, let it be my guide.
[Verse] While the dreamers sleep in blinds of gold The wolves of greed are getting bold They gnaw our rights and sell our soul And we just watch the dark unfold [Verse 2] The fires burn the waters rise Truth lies hidden 'neath disguise We’re busy chasing vacant highs Ignoring desperate Muffled cries [Chorus] Wake up now before it’s gone We’ve gotta sing a battle song Voice of thunder loud and strong Or our freedom won’t last long [Verse 3] They wage their wars on borrowed time With jaded hearts and twisted rhyme They'll trade away the days sublime Leaving echoes of our prime [Chorus] Wake up now before it’s gone We’ve gotta sing a battle song Voice of thunder loud and strong Or our freedom won’t last long [Bridge] The silent ones must break the mold The path to justice must be bold In this fight we can't be sold Come together hearts of gold
[Verse] We sit in shadows eyes half closed While power brokers choose our woes The ship is sinking while we dream Silent screaming in a noisy stream [Verse 2] They sell us lies wrapped in dismay Kicking stones along the way While bitter weeds grow in our yard It's time to act it's not that hard [Chorus] What we stand to lose we must defend This world's not theirs to twist and bend Don't let apathy be our guide Rise and fight for what's inside [Verse 3] They pave the forests build with greed Our cries for justice go in heed The ground is cracking under foot We must wake up and cast the root [Bridge] Our ancestors fought for freedoms fire Don't let their battles now expire We're stronger when we shout as one The silent protest has begun [Verse 4] Heed the call and raise your voice It's time to make a daring choice They won't silence what we expose The wind of change in every prose
[Verse] You sit in silence while the world turns gray The wolves are howling they're hungry for prey Your freedoms crumble like ancient clay Stand up and fight don't just waste away [Chorus] Wake up brother sister open your eyes The fire's climbing burning all disguise There’s a storm brewing in these clear skies Freedom is fading under all their lies [Verse 2] We've seen the promises fall through the crack While puppet masters stab our dreams and laugh They’ve chained our voices buried the facts It’s time we fight to get our lives back [Chorus] Wake up brother sister open your eyes The fire's climbing burning all disguise There’s a storm brewing in these clear skies Freedom is fading under all their lies [Bridge] The ink's still wet on our future’s page It's not too late to unleash our rage Tear down the walls break out of this cage Hold hands together light up the stage [Verse 3] Our hope is fragile our spirit strong If we just sit here we're aiding the wrong Asleep in daylight for far too long Rise up resist where we all belong
[Verse] There's a man in a suit with a dangerous plan Selling fear to the folks who don't understand National guard marching to his twisted beat Freedom's a memory fading in the heat [Verse 2] Promises of power whispers in the air Liberty held hostage by a grim affair A shadow on the move like a creeping vine Distant drums warning us of the thin red line [Chorus] Oh The rising tide of shadows Will quench the spark of dreams Drowning truth in echo chambers In a whirlwind of evil schemes [Verse 3] Uniforms and rifles on the city streets Crushing dissent under tyrant's feet Fear and control is their only charade But we stand together Unafraid [Verse 4] From the hearts of the people A clarion call Resist the whip Defy the walls We won’t be tools for their master’s plot For hope in unity We’ve fought and fought [Chorus] Oh The rising tide of shadows Will quench the spark of dreams Drowning truth in echo chambers In a whirlwind of evil schemes
[Verse] The General's marching through the square Uniforms shining in the glare Whispers in shadows loud and clear The people's message rings with fear [Verse 2] Power's shifting through the hands Dreams of freedom start to bend Eyes are watching hearts contend The Constitution's on the mend [Chorus] Don't let the General take the town Don’t let oppression take you down Raise your voice and make a sound Justice's light must now be found [Verse 3] Flags are waving Masks unveiled Stories in history they’ve derailed Through the streets the anger spills Fueled by whispers Fed by thrills [Bridge] Dreams are shattered in the night When the General takes his flight Promising a golden dawn But shadows linger long and drawn [Chorus] Don’t let the General take the town Don’t let oppression take you down Raise your voice and make a sound Justice's light must now be found
[Verse] दिल दीवाना खो गया तेरे हुस्न की झंकार में सारा हिंदुस्तान बसा है गोरी तेरे प्यार में [Verse 2] प्रीत की रीत बरसती म्हारु देख वो राजस्थान में सारा हिंदुस्तान बसा है गोरी तेरे प्यार में [Chorus] तू है चांदनी रातों की रोशनी तेरी बिंदिया चमके जैसे तारों की बातों में [Verse 3] मोहब्बत की छाछ में चूरा है ये दिल तेरे नाम की लहरों पे लिखा है जो सिलसिला [Bridge] दिल की धड़कन बनके तू समा गई मेरे ख्वाबों की दुनिया तू ही बसा गई [Chorus] तू है चांदनी रातों की रोशनी तेरी बिंदिया चमके जैसे तारों की बातों में
[Instrumental]
(Verse 1) I thought I saw forever in your eyes, A silent promise, unspoken, no disguise, We wove through days like threads of gold, But now I’m tangled in the lies we told. (Pre-Chorus) The ocean of your touch, now a distant shore, I searched for refuge, but you’re no more, We were a storm that never meant to be calm, But I believed the chaos was our only balm. (Chorus) Aquacry, these tears are salt and steel, Drowning in memories that I can’t heal, I gave you my trust, you took it all, Now I’m left standing, waiting to fall. Aquacry, these waves crash in my chest, I thought you were home, but I’m not at rest, I gave you my soul, now it’s sinking fast, Caught in a current that won’t ever pass. (Verse 2) You were the tide, pulling me deep, I thought you were love, but you were just sleep, I watched the stars burn out in your gaze, Now I’m lost in the sky, fogged in a haze. (Pre-Chorus) The ocean of your touch, now a distant shore, I searched for refuge, but you’re no more, We were a storm that never meant to be calm, But I believed the chaos was our only balm. (Chorus) Aquacry, these tears are salt and steel, Drowning in memories that I can’t heal, I gave you my trust, you took it all, Now I’m left standing, waiting to fall. Aquacry, these waves crash in my chest, I thought you were home, but I’m not at rest, I gave you my soul, now it’s sinking fast, Caught in a current that won’t ever pass. (Bridge) I thought you were the anchor to my sky, But now you’re the reason that I can’t fly, You were the ripple, now I’m the tide, Pulling me under, no place to hide. I held your truth, but now it’s all lies, We were the storm that never realized. (Chorus) Aquacry, these tears are salt and steel, Drowning in memories that I can’t heal, I gave you my trust, you took it all, Now I’m left standing, waiting to fall. Aquacry, these waves crash in my chest, I thought you were home, but I’m not at rest, I gave you my soul, now it’s sinking fast, Caught in a current that won’t ever pass. (Outro) Now I’m just a shadow, chasing the dawn, Hoping that love was never truly gone, Aquacry, I’ll carry you in the deep, But this heart of mine, it’s too lost to keep.
(Verse 1) I see you lurking, pretending not to care, Eyes like fire but you’re keeping it fair, I’m not the type to play it safe or slow, You think I’m teasing, but I’m all you’ll know. (Pre-Chorus) Caught in the chase, never show the hand, You want control but don't understand, I give you the game, let you think you lead, But I'm already steps ahead, moving with speed. (Chorus) You’re pulling me in with those tease tactics, A soft touch, a glance, I’m addicted to the magic, Every move, a whisper in the night, I pull you closer but I’m out of sight, I twist, I turn, got you wrapped so tight, But you’re still left reaching for the light, I stay one step ahead, no surprise, It’s a dangerous game, and you don’t realize. (Verse 2) I’m a riddle in the dark, you’re trying to solve, A puzzle with edges you can’t evolve, You push me close, think you’ve made your move, But I’m untouchable, making you prove. (Pre-Chorus) Caught in the chase, never show the hand, You want control but don’t understand, I give you the game, let you think you lead, But I'm already steps ahead, moving with speed. (Chorus) You’re pulling me in with those tease tactics, A soft touch, a glance, I’m addicted to the magic, Every move, a whisper in the night, I pull you closer but I’m out of sight, I twist, I turn, got you wrapped so tight, But you’re still left reaching for the light, I stay one step ahead, no surprise, It’s a dangerous game, and you don’t realize. (Bridge) You thought you knew the rules, but you’re outplayed, Every little movement is a price I’ve paid, Your hands try to claim what you can’t possess, I’m the prize, the tension’s growing, no less. (Chorus) You’re pulling me in with those tease tactics, A soft touch, a glance, I’m addicted to the magic, Every move, a whisper in the night, I pull you closer but I’m out of sight, I twist, I turn, got you wrapped so tight, But you’re still left reaching for the light, I stay one step ahead, no surprise, It’s a dangerous game, and you don’t realize. (Outro) In this game, it’s more than what you see, I’m holding back, but not for free, Tease tactics, it’s a dangerous art, But I’ll make you play until you fall apart.

[Verse] Someone's mumbling in the corner shadows lurk Turns of the head eyes wide as they jerk Suspicion in the air tension we inhale Like a scene in a noir tale [Verse] Actions bold as whispers chase the air Words like bullets ricochet with silent flare An air of mystery draped in dark lace One pull of a thread shows the place [Chorus] He pulls beans from a pocket almost surreal Stains on the wall what's the deal Marks of the unheard the silent cries Hidden messages in the skies [Verse] Sweat glistens as the room holds its breath The unexpected twists keep on the edge Eyes darting like secrets in a vault Unseen movements never halt [Bridge] Moments frozen in a puzzling echo Every glance holds weight we don't know Beans scattered like thoughts unclear Intensifying every fear [Chorus] He pulls beans from a pocket almost surreal Stains on the wall what's the deal Marks of the unheard the silent cries Hidden messages in the skies
