I haven't lost anything except my mind
Expect a thousand confessions that you will not find
I try to take off my head sometimes,
Because I can't escape the memories
I haven't lost anything except my mind (except my mind)
You could be empty
And I can be right here empty with you
Or you could be hollow
And I can be right here hollow with you
If you want to say goodbye to everything,
I could say goodbye too
I can be right here empty with you.
I haven't wasted anything except my time (except my time)
Forget the treasures we burned because we'll be just fine
I try to take off my head sometimes
Because I can't escape for the life of me,
I haven't lost anything except my mind (my mind)
You could be empty
And I can be right here empty with you
Or you could be hollow,
And I can be right here hollow with you
If you want to say goodbye to everything
I could say goodbye too
I can be right here empty with you
Instead of going underground
Instead of calling them out
Instead of running 'cause your still breathing
Instead of swallowing lies
Instead of buried alive
Let's twist the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding
If you need a confession, I'm guilty
Let's chase the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding
Do you think I feel sorry? Forgive me.
Let's chase the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding
Instead of going underground
Instead of calling them out
Let's chase the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding
You could be empty
And I can be right here empty with you
Or you could be hollow
And I can be right here hollow with you
If you want to say goodbye to everything
I could say goodbye too
I can be right here empty with you
Expect a thousand confessions that you will not find
I try to take off my head sometimes,
Because I can't escape the memories
I haven't lost anything except my mind (except my mind)
You could be empty
And I can be right here empty with you
Or you could be hollow
And I can be right here hollow with you
If you want to say goodbye to everything,
I could say goodbye too
I can be right here empty with you.
I haven't wasted anything except my time (except my time)
Forget the treasures we burned because we'll be just fine
I try to take off my head sometimes
Because I can't escape for the life of me,
I haven't lost anything except my mind (my mind)
You could be empty
And I can be right here empty with you
Or you could be hollow,
And I can be right here hollow with you
If you want to say goodbye to everything
I could say goodbye too
I can be right here empty with you
Instead of going underground
Instead of calling them out
Instead of running 'cause your still breathing
Instead of swallowing lies
Instead of buried alive
Let's twist the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding
If you need a confession, I'm guilty
Let's chase the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding
Do you think I feel sorry? Forgive me.
Let's chase the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding
Instead of going underground
Instead of calling them out
Let's chase the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding
You could be empty
And I can be right here empty with you
Or you could be hollow
And I can be right here hollow with you
If you want to say goodbye to everything
I could say goodbye too
I can be right here empty with you

Maybe the singer or guy is in love with some girl who is in love with some other dude, therefore he is losing his mind and wants to escape the memories etc. But then the boy dumps the girl and she feels empty and hollow and deep down he still love's here and his willing to be empty with her. and the bridge is about twisting the knife on the bad bf or whatever. So instead of feeling bad and such, getting revenge.
does that makes sense?
This song is obviously about a girl he is in troubled times with. But, my take is that A) They are socially separated and B) He still loves her. He says “Expect a thousand confessions that you will not find” meaning that she is waiting for him to apologize for how he acted; but he cannot apologize. Why can’t he apologize? (she would ask) Because he has lost his mind!
He may not have really lost his mind, but that is what makes the most sense for him to admit to (to her and his friends). She has done this to other dudes before, and they probably did confess to her (which is why he keeps saying “them”). While she is still “alive” and “breathing” somewhere, the knife is being twisted into him. She isn’t hiding (“going underground”), she isn’t “calling him out” to get answers, and she surely isn’t running away; she just is not talking, and it is killing him. He tries to take off his head to forget the memories they had together, but he can’t. He also can’t apologize. Probably because it was her fault too, and he has pride (he is a famous rocker).
And how did anyone miss HOLLOW? When the word hollow is used anywhere around any kind of rock genre, it has a drug implication. A syringe is even shown on the album cover! Pantera wrote a song called hollow (their most famous song) about a friend who did so many drugs he had nothing left.
Burt is probably saying that this chick could be hollow, just a shell of a person left after too many drugs. She could be empty (boring). She could say goodbye to everything in life. He could do all of these same things as her, but still be happy as long as they were together. He is touching on all emotion, which is why he says “forget the treasures we burned because we’ll be just fine.” …nothing tangible can equal the feelings he has with her and if they ignited all of their material possessions, they would still be fine.
Lastly, he says he hasn’t wasted a thing except his time. This is likely said because he knows she won’t speak, and he certainly won’t speak. All of the time and experiences that had with one another were a complete waste.
This song seems like a beacon of bright light because of its poppy nature, but consider that the singer admits that he didn’t mean to let a girl go (because he “lost his mind”) in Meant to Die. Instead of begging for people, he just burns.
only thing i wanted to say was some people were saying that hes literally mad/crazy. but i think it's figurative. as in your making me crazy, this relationship is making me loose my mind, so on.

This one, Kissing You Goodbye, and Blood On My Hands are my favorite songs on this album at the moment, Kissing You Goodbye being in the lead.
Such great lyrics.
I haven't lost anything except my mind/ [he's gone a little crazy, being stuck in this situation]
Expect a thousand confessions that you will not find/ [the confession being that he doesn't love her]
I try to take off my head sometimes because I can't escape the memories/ [he just wants to get away from himself]
I haven't lost anything except my mind/ [ '' ]
You could be empty/ [her without him]
and I can be right here empty with you/ [or he can be empty, but make her happy]
or You can be hollow/ [with out, typical unrequited love]
and I can be right here hollow with you/ [he can be with her]
If you want to say goodbye to everything/ [when she wants to end it,]
I could say goodbye too/ [he'll be fine]
I can be right here empty with you/ [he be with her, empty inside]
I haven't wasted anything except my time/ [he's wasting time with her]
Forget the treasures we burned because we'll be just fine/ [forget about the past. it doesn't really matter]
I try to take off my head sometimes because I can't escape for the life of me/ [he just wants to get away from her, from this fake relationship]
I haven't lost anything except my mind/ [he's getting a little more crazy]
You could be empty/ [her without him]
and I can be right here empty with you/ [or he can be empty, but make her happy]
or You can be hollow/ [with out, typical unrequited love]
and I can be right here hollow with you/ [he can be with her]
If you want to say goodbye to everything/ [when she wants to end it,]
I could say goodbye too/ [he'll be fine]
I can be right here empty with you/ [he be with her, empty inside]
Instead of going underground/ [instead of breaking up]
Instead of calling them out/ [instead of saying his true feelings]
Instead of running, 'cause you're still creeping/ [instead of letting her go, he let her hold on]
Instead of swallowing lies/ [instead of telling the truth]
Instead of buried alive/ [instead of letting her world come crashing down]
Let's twist the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding/ [the pain of this relationship is masochistic; he's twisting a metaphoric knife into his heart by continuing this lie because he loves her, but like a friend]
If you need a confession, I'm guilty/ [i never loved you]
Let's twist the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding/ [ '' ]
Do you think I feel sorry? Forgive me/ [he's sorry he couldn't love her back]
Let's twist the knife 'til they can't stop bleeding/ [ '' ]
Instead of going underground/ [ '' ]
instead of calling them out/ [ '' ]
Let's twist the knife 'til they can't stop screaming/ [he's going to endure this until he can't any longer]
You could be empty/ [her without him]
and I can be right here empty with you/ [or he can be empty, but make her happy]
or You can be hollow/ [with out, typical unrequited love]
and I can be right here hollow with you/ [he can be with her]
If you want to say goodbye to everything/ [when she wants to end it,]
I could say goodbye too/ [he'll be fine]
I can be right here empty with you/ [he be with her, empty inside]
i know i used he alot and i know it might sound that im referring to the sing but im just reffering to your point of view...
When I first read it, I didn't understand how it would be about that.
But now I get it.
Good jobb!
