(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.
indie pop, singer-songwriter, and piano-driven ballads, with influences from pop rock, folk, and occasionally alternativ
English
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.
[Verse] On the winding roads of Alabama, where the magnolias bloom, Lives a woman strong and tender, in a small, cozy room. With a heart of gold and courage, through thick and thin she's been, My mom Nicole Bryars, the strongest I've ever seen. [Verse 2] Morning light through kitchen curtains, she starts her day with grace, Frying bacon, brewing coffee, a smile upon her face. Her hands are worn from working, but her spirit never tires, In every laugh and every tear, I see my mom Nicole Bryars. [Chorus] Oh, Nicole, oh, Nicole, in the heart of Alabama, You're the light that guides my way, oh, Nicole, my Alabama mama. Your love's a river flowing, through valleys and the peaks, Oh, Nicole, oh, Nicole, your strength is what I seek. [Verse 3] In the fields beneath the sunset, with a gentle Southern breeze, She's the one who taught me kindness, and to always say ‘please.’ We'd sit by the old wooden fence, talk about our dreams, With every word and every hug, she mended all my seams. [Verse 4] When the storms of life come raging, and the nights are cold and long, She’s the shelter that I run to, where I know I still belong. Her wisdom like a lantern, shining bright and far, Nicole Bryars, my guiding star, my heart's eternal spar. [Chorus] Oh, Nicole, oh, Nicole, in the heart of Alabama, You're the light that guides my way, oh, Nicole, my Alabama mama. Your love's a river flowing, through valleys and the peaks, Oh, Nicole, oh, Nicole, your strength is what I seek.
[Verse] Alabama’s sun burns bright Grandma Marie Howard’s fight Little house on the dusty road Heart of gold heavy load [Verse 2] Cotton fields and moonlit skies Wrinkles tell no lies Rocking chair on the front porch swing Songs of old her voice would bring [Chorus] Grandma Marie tales so real She taught me how to feel Wisdom in her tired eyes Underneath those Southern skies [Verse 3] Worn-out Bible by her side Secrets in the pages hide Every Sunday morning glow To her church we’d always go [Bridge] Memories like ghostly towns Dusty streets and faded sounds Thoughts of her in the midnight hour Grandma Marie Howard's power [Chorus] Grandma Marie tales so real She taught me how to feel Wisdom in her tired eyes Underneath those Southern skies
[Verse] Grandma Marie sat in her old rocking chair, With a quilt on her lap and a braid in her hair, She'd hum a sweet tune as the sun went down low, In a small Tennessee town where wildflowers grow. [Verse 2] Each Sunday morning she'd walk to the church, In a dress she had sewn, she’d sing from the perch, With a heart full of faith and a voice pure and clear, Her love and her laughter still echo 'round here. [Chorus] Grandma Marie, you taught us all well, With stories of angels and a soft, loving spell, Your wisdom and warmth still light up our days, In the heart of this family, your memory stays. [Verse 3] The smell of her biscuits would fill up the house, With butter and jam, they'd quiet each mouth, In the kitchen, she danced, spun tales of her past, Her hands rough from work, yet tender and fast. [Verse 4] She'd tend to her garden, a green-thumbed delight, With roses and daisies that bloomed through the night, Her spirit lives on in the petals and leaves, In every cool breeze and in each summer eve. [Chorus] Grandma Marie, you taught us all well, With stories of angels and a soft, loving spell, Your wisdom and warmth still light up our days, In the heart of this family, your memory stays.
Oh, Crazy Horatio, the legend we sing, With a ship on the rocks and a wealth beyond kings. He crashed all the ships, from east to the west, And left treasure for all with a heart in his chest. He sailed the seas with no fear in his heart, A master of storms, a true pirate’s art. With a wink and a grin, he'd lead the charge, No ship could escape, no pirate too large. Oh, Crazy Horatio, the legend we sing, With a ship on the rocks and a wealth beyond kings. He crashed all the ships, from east to the west, And left treasure for all with a heart in his chest. A thousand shipwrecks, one after another, Each crash turned pirates to fathers and mothers. They settled in villages, wild and free, Raising new families by the saltwater sea. Oh, Crazy Horatio, the legend we sing, With a ship on the rocks and a wealth beyond kings. He crashed all the ships, from east to the west, And left treasure for all with a heart in his chest. Now legends whisper of the treasure still near, Gold and jewels hidden in places unclear. Crazy Horatio, though old and worn, Left his mark on the world, in every pirate born. Oh, Crazy Horatio, the legend we sing, With a ship on the rocks and a wealth beyond kings. He crashed all the ships, from east to the west, And left treasure for all with a heart in his chest.
[Verse] Oh the horses strong and free Galloping through fields for all to see With coats of black white brown and gray They brighten up our every day [Verse 2] They run with spirit full of cheer Through meadows wild and skies so clear Wild hearts but gentle as the breeze They bring us joy with such ease [Chorus] Oh horsey friends we love you so Through summer's sun and winter's snow You carry dreams on your strong backs In fields green or dusty tracks [Verse 3] In the morning light or twilight glow Your majesty in every show Majestic manes that flow and sway Guiding us in their own way [Bridge] We've learned from you oh so much Your warm embrace your gentle touch In life's long race we'll never part With horsey friends you've won our heart [Chorus] Oh horsey friends we love you so Through summer's sun and winter's snow You carry dreams on your strong backs In fields green or dusty tracks
(Chorus of Cossacks) Земля свята, земля козацька, Де вітер волі в степу гуде! Де шабля гостра, душа завзята, І пісня славна понад Дніпром пливе! (Old Cossack): Співай, бандуро, про дні минулі, Про славу наших батьків-героїв. Про битви люті, про рани чулі, Про сльози радості, про сльози болю. (Young Cossack): Годі журитись! Не час для смутку! В жилах козацька ще кров кипить! Нам би коня сідлати, рушницю в руку, І волю нашу від ворогів боронити! (Woman): Сини, мужі, невже війна вам мила? Невже не знаєте ціни спокою? Молитва наша вас завжди хранила, Та серце матері болить за вами в бою. (Chorus of Cossacks): Ні, не війна нам мила, а свобода! Не хочемо під панським гнітом жить! За рідну землю, за свій народ, за згоду, Готові шаблі в руки знов схопить! (Ataman): Браття-козаки! Зібрав я вас недарма! Вісті тривожні до нас дійшли. Ворог зухвалий знову зазіхає на нашеє добро, Хоче забрати землю, що потом полили. (Young Cossack): То дамо йому відсіч! Нехай відчує лють козацьку! Мчімо на конях, як вітер у степу! Покажемо йому, де раки зимують, де наша хатка! Не дамо топтати квітку нашу степову! (Old Cossack): Подумайте, браття, не поспішайте з гнівом. Мудрість потрібна, як і сила в бою. Хай кожен зважить, хай помолиться з Богом, І тільки тоді рушаймо в путь свою! (The Cossacks murmur in agreement, some nodding, others clenching their fists.) (Woman): Благаю вас, вождь, будьте розсудливі! Не кидайте синів на смерть бездумно! Згадайте про сім'ї, про обітниці, про дружби глибину, Нехай повертаються вони додому живими, безумовно! (Ataman): Жінко, знаю біль твій, знаю сльози твої. Та козацька доля – служити Україні. Якщо ворог прийде, не буде нам спокою, повір мені. Тож краще ми підемо, обороним рідні стіни. (A COSSACK SINGS a soulful, yearning song about his love for his homeland and his loved ones.) (Soloist Cossack): Ой степе мій розлогий, краю мій коханий, Де кожна травинка серцю рідна. Де Дніпро широкий, мов батько сивий, Не віддам тебе ворогу нізащо, нізащо! Дівчино моя люба, зіронько ясна, Чекай мене вірно, вір у мою силу. Повернуся з перемогою, з піснею голосна, І щастя наше знов розквітне, мила! (The Chorus of Cossacks joins in, their voices filled with determination and patriotic fervor.) (Chorus of Cossacks): За волю, за землю, за славу козацьку, Вперед, братове, не знаємо ми страху! Хай ворог тремтить, хай тікає навспак, Коли козацька шабля блисне в небі, наче знак! (Ataman): Козаки! Сідлайте коней! В путь! Хай гримить слава про нашу відвагу! За Україну-матір, нехай вороги впадуть! І вічно хай живе козацька звитяга!
[Verse] Legendary Kad took the netherbrain high Riding on whispers through the ghostly sky Ruled over Baldur's Gate with an iron hand His shadow stretching far across the land [Verse] In the silent halls where the secrets creep Kad's name echoes where the fallen sleep Wisdom and madness in his burning gaze Darkness bows to his unyielding blaze [Chorus] Oh Kad You reign in the eerie night With blazing stars Your kingdom bright From netherbrain to the city gates Your legend lives Your power's fate [Bridge] Clashing minds in the twilight's dread Every step he takes A legend is spread In battles fierce His name was feared Under moonless skies His truth appeared [Verse] Through the labyrinth Through the twisting maze Kad’s mark engraved in timeless days Elder spirits sing his praise on high In whispered tales His legend won’t die [Chorus] Oh Kad You reign in the eerie night With blazing stars Your kingdom bright From netherbrain to the city gates Your legend lives Your power's fate

Verse 1: We started from the very first day, With books and notes, we’d find our way, Grammar rules and vocab lists, Speaking practice, can’t resist! We worked so hard, we gave our best, And now it's time to pass the test! So here's to all the things we've learned, Our English skills have truly burned! Chorus: We did it, we made it through, Cambridge English, look at us, it's true! With every word, every phrase, We’ve come so far, we've earned our place! We did it, we reached the sky, Now we can speak and write with pride! From start to finish, here we stand, Cambridge English, we’ve got the plan! Verse 2: From reading books to writing essays, We practiced hard for countless days, We learned to speak, to think, to write, And now our English is shining bright!

Bridge: The journey’s just begun, We’ll keep learning, we’ll keep having fun, English is our key, To open doors, to set us free! Chorus (Reprise): We did it, we made it through, Cambridge English, look at us, it's true! With every word, every phrase, We’ve come so far, we've earned our place! We did it, we reached the sky, Now we can speak and write with pride! From start to finish, here we stand, Cambridge English, we’ve got the plan!
[Verse] In the quiet hum of evening's end Whispers of the past start to mend Softly spoken tales we barely defend Through the mist Old echoes send [Verse 2] Footsteps on the worn-out floor Hold the weight of what came before Letters tucked in drawers ignore The secrets that forevermore [Chorus] Oh The wind knows our silent cries Behind closed doors Where truth lies Empty chairs and lullabies In the shadows A heart dies [Verse 3] Candles flicker in the midnight air A dance of ghosts in their scarce lair The old clock chimes Unaware Time moves on But some hearts stare [Verse 4] Rusty gates and broken paths Memories in faded photographs Life's a thread And how it gnaths Weave the love The pain And laughs [Bridge] In the twilight of what's left behind A search for peace we hope to find Through the whispers gently aligned Echoes linger Wrapped in mind
[Verse] We'd sit up late with laughter and sketches, Dreams and heartaches, turning life's pages. Every tear and every smile, God's been with us all the while. [Verse 2] Rowing through the rivers, currents so strong, Ripped apart, but still, we belong. Every moment that we shared, The love of the journey, nothing compared. [Chorus] Oh, looking back, I see the lessons, How we grew through all those sessions. Thankful for each step we took, God's been writing in His book. [Verse 3] From sunrise glow to evening's hush, Times of peace and moments rushed. Found the strength in each other's arms, Faith in the quiet, prayers in the storms. [Verse 4] Sunsets bring a promise so grand, The close of a day, the touch of His hand. We made it through the hardest parts, With grace and mercy filling our hearts. [Chorus] Oh, looking back, I see the lessons, How we grew through all those sessions. Thankful for each step we took, God's been writing in His book.
[Pre-Chorus] Uh yeah, uh yeah, yeah yeah Uh yeah, uh yeah, yeah yeah Got the dirt on my boots and the sky up high, Sippin' on something strong, feelin' fly, fly, fly.
