Katy McAllister – Another Empty Bottle lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama was a bit naive
And her Daddy was a blinded thief
He went and stole away what was left of the remains of a family


She hid away behind a door she kept locked
But the walls weren't thick enough to block out
The angry noises of the voices that once soothed her to sleep


[Chorus]
And she lies tonight
Underneath the caving roof
And she cries tonight
Wondering what she could do
And she tries tonight
Remembering who she once knew
But they've died inside
Another empty bottle
Takes a life


[Verse 2]
This world can be so cruel
She lives her life as a broken tool
And she believes she's unable to fix this broken machine


And what's the use to throw yourself at love
If in the end it never seems enough
To be able to get through all of life's broken dreams


She watched her father live in regret
Heard her mother cry
and then nip to bed
And she swears this is the best life gets


[Chorus]
And she lies tonight
Underneath the caving roof
And she cries tonight
Wondering what she could do
And DJs tries tonight
But she's out of memories that she once knew
And she does inside
Another empty bottle
Takes a life


[Middle 8]
Oh and every little bit every little bit of her
Wants to see the light
But every single night a little bit more of her
Dies inside

She's trapped in her mind
She feels more alive she feels more alive
In her own dreams
And she's wondering
What's beyond the sky could she see the light of
She falls asleep

Cos she feels more alive
In her own dreams

[Chorus]
So tonight she lies
Lifted up through her own roof
Dried eyes tonight
There was nothing more that she could do
And they cry tonight
A daughter that they hardly knew
Now she's lost in time
Another empty bottle
Takes a life

    It is about a girl who have a bad father and a naive mother Her father took everything in their life leaving them and the parents always fight and argue at each other while the girl hides inside her room hearing her parents argue with each other she lies in her bed wondering what she could do in her life and she cries wondering what she could do for her family she goes and tried too have fun but she is dead inside every night she dies more and more inside and only in her dreams can she live freely and happily she is broken and no one can ever fix her and all herShe lives more inside her memories and dreams because they are so much better then the cruel reality she has to face.
    Unfortunately she runs out of these good memories and dreams that she wished with all her heart that they were real.
    She eventually can't see any sense in living anymore as she can't find happiness, and because of that she commits suicide.
    In the mean time, her parents understand what they have done and regret it.
    They are sorry they were unresponsable enough to not see or care how the life they themselves created.

    It's about a girl going through her parent's divorce. She sees what her parents are going through and cries every night.
    She feels like she is breaking apart every single day.
    She can't run away from the situation so she gets desperate, she doesn't understand how it would be like to have a perfect life.
    She forgets how it feels like to love or be loved and ft hunks that love is false, seeing what has happened to her and her family . Although the she tries, she can't bring her family back together and she feels like her heart gets broken more every day.
    She lives more inside her memories and dreams because they are so much better then the cruel reality she has to face.
    Unfortunately she runs out of these good memories and dreams that she wished with all her heart that they were real.
    She eventually can't see any sense in living anymore as she can't find happiness, and because of that she commits suicide.
    In the mean time, her parents understand what they have done and regret it.
    They are sorry they were unresponsable enough to not see or care how the life they themselves created.

    I can relate to this song because i'm going through this myself with my own parent's since i was little.
    This song touche's my heart on so many level's and it's a touchy subject to talk about that many people are to afraid to bring up or to speak about.
    Many kid's witness domestic violence in there own home weather it is the mother or the father fighting,sadly alot of children are being Abused,physically,sexually,world wide,neglect,and the one people tend to miss and not really bring up is verbal/emotional Abuse wich seem's to be the problem in this story and song. Verbal/emotional Abuse can also be as damaging as physical or sexual Abuse and can also turn into physical abuse over time. Weather it is physically or not both subject's should be takened seriously and not so lightly.

    I love this song and it has helped me feel less alone.

    A girl blinded wondering what lives about, feeling more alive in her own dreams whilst hearing her parents argue endlessly.Her mother cried every day and her father drunk away his sorrows.She ended up realising she’s was more alive in her dreams and committed suicide thinking that she would become a angel and be happy and free also while watching her family crying for their daughter that they realised they knew nothing about.

    It's About a child who is struggling with toxic parent's,if you listen closely you can hear the fact she points out about how they argue and that her mother is oblivious and blunt to her daughter's issue's while the father on the other hand is the one causing all sort's of problem's in the house hold. Obviously you can tell that the father regret's his Action's and behavior while the mother end's up hurt in the arguement in the song it state's that-father live's in regret,heard her mother crying in an empty bed. The daughter desperately tries numbing her pain and solving her problem's by taking her "pill's" but as time progresses the situation doesn't get any better and so to her she thought suicide was the only way out. This story is supposed to help bring Awareness for those struggling with not only toxic parenting but Suicide as well. I don't think her parent's were divorcing it never once has mentioned her father getting ready to leave cause in the end they found there daughter Overdosed in her bedroom and the grief and pain that it has caused them.

    I believe this song is about a little girl who used to have a happy family but then her father turned into an alcoholic and argues with her mother all the time and she is trying to find solace in her dreams and those become the only time she is happy and at the end of the song, I believe she committed suicide by overdosing. This song is not just fiction but happens in a lot of peoples lives, boys and girls, and suicide is a lot more common than you would think. Please never do or even think about drugs, self-harm, or suicide. And if you are able, try to help like the girl in this song tried to.
