"Empathy" - Sneaker Pimps

Lyrics:

Her innocence above me
Today is dead she's around my head
Between my history between my headphones
This is her home forever her home

But i can't be her brother
To empower her to become her
Trawl through this forgiveness
My memory's so empathy low

This attitude beneath her
It's evident it denies us
Proves herself to be closer
But not me forever not me

This sickness avoids all cure
Imperfection my downfall
Learn myself through symptoms
My memory's so
Empathy low

@NickSeptember woah, i never thought about that! thats weird xD

[TheUhuspiegel]

I love you, Chris! <3 <3 <3

[NickSeptember]

He was becoming X, a version of himself, then, he became X. I am X

[SquashMuncher]

In an interview, Chris said this song is "about a specific person that I am in love with. It's about wanting to become that person, wanting to be inside that person, to be everything to that person; brother, father, mother.. everything."

@CaptOsage

No way. That's just plain wrong. If you read interviews he explicitly says that he hated Kelli for a long time and that he flat out kicked her out of the band because she demanded to help write the songs. Also there are rumors she was on a lot of drugs at the time and they were just sick of her. He hated her quite obviously.

[TheWeirdPlant]

Lovely.

[TheLukeylala]

@CaptOsage Im liking what your both saying......makes you think.=)

[CaptOsage]

@neontomx I agree. I think he was in love with her but didn't know how to proceed with his feelings. Even the name of his new band IAMX--is like "I am X" and Kelli sang lead vocals on Becoming X. So he's no longer becoming, he is X. Her ex?

love this song
