Thoughts pass by like a river flow
Must be hard to keep track where you came from
I float down and stand right next to you
But something is causing a lull in the traffic
The empire is moving, the grass overgrown
I'd blow this whole world to pieces to not be alone
The shovel's been digging all day long
It can't even seem to make a scratch
A scratch in the surface what is the purpose?
I'll always be stopped by the
"why can't i, why can't i be you?"
and put those hands away
I go through this everyday...
Sounds like a radio tuned to whitenoise softer, slowly softer
Can't this thing go any faster?
For everyone to see, it's only killing me
Awake in this cold cell I, I just hope you're happy
Awake in this cold cell I break my body against the wall
Awake in this cold cell... I am my only devil
Why can't I be you and put those hands away
I go through this everyday
Sounds like a radio tuned to whitenoise softer, slowly softer
Can't this thing go any faster?
For everyone to see, it's only killing me
Must be hard to keep track where you came from
I float down and stand right next to you
But something is causing a lull in the traffic
The empire is moving, the grass overgrown
I'd blow this whole world to pieces to not be alone
The shovel's been digging all day long
It can't even seem to make a scratch
A scratch in the surface what is the purpose?
I'll always be stopped by the
"why can't i, why can't i be you?"
and put those hands away
I go through this everyday...
Sounds like a radio tuned to whitenoise softer, slowly softer
Can't this thing go any faster?
For everyone to see, it's only killing me
Awake in this cold cell I, I just hope you're happy
Awake in this cold cell I break my body against the wall
Awake in this cold cell... I am my only devil
Why can't I be you and put those hands away
I go through this everyday
Sounds like a radio tuned to whitenoise softer, slowly softer
Can't this thing go any faster?
For everyone to see, it's only killing me

awake in this cold cell, I am my only devil
as if to say that he's doing this for someone, and he thinks its horrible but really its only himself makeing this whole situation horrible
the shovel is a tool...as is his pen, and he is having writer's block...
all in all, i find this song to be very choppy and inconsistant in meaning, but i love it anyways. i think each verse/chorus has it's own feeling and own subject
Blank Page Empire was written by Jason, while he was going thru writers block.. hence A BLANK PAGE empire.
"Sounds like a radio tuned to whitenoise" Ever had writrers block?, isnt that a way of describing your mind/thoughts.. like whitenoise.. whatever, you can decypher the rest. But thats what the song is about to the singer at least. I know FSF likes writing songs, that can have a universal meaning to every person.
i feel strongly that it's about living life without purpose, as he feels that many peolple do... and perhaps feeling suicidal ("put those hands away..") along with it... its' like life is so monotonous and one feels like there has to be a higher meaning to life. Check this out, "Sounds like a radio tuned to whitenoise softer, slowly softer" is a methaphor for a life without purpose... it is meaningless and just fades away... :D what do y'all think?
