Pretty Empty

Sen Senra's song 'Pretty Empty' delves into the complexities of emotional struggles and the weight of personal battles. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals who are both grappling with their inner demons. The line 'I know you've lost the war against someone else, and now the battle is taking place in your head' suggests that the person addressed in the song has faced external conflicts that have now turned into internal turmoil. This resonates with the universal experience of carrying emotional baggage from past conflicts into present relationships.

The recurring theme of 'fighting demons' highlights the ongoing struggle with personal issues and mental health. Senra's promise to 'take care' signifies a commitment to support and be there for the other person, despite their own battles. This mutual understanding and shared burden are further emphasized in the lines 'We both carry heavy luggage, where we keep our truth.' The metaphor of 'heavy luggage' symbolizes the emotional weight and past experiences that both individuals bring into their relationship.

The song also touches on the idea of playing hard to cope with these struggles. 'Playing hard is what we do to get us through' suggests that they adopt a tough exterior or engage in certain behaviors to navigate their emotional landscape. Despite these challenges, there is a deep longing and affection expressed in the lines 'All I wanna do is never take my eyes off you, even if I do, will never get enough of you.' This indicates a profound connection and desire to be close, even when faced with difficulties. 'Pretty Empty' is a poignant exploration of love, support, and the shared journey through personal battles.
