Empty friends are trying to tear off my face
Thought black cords were trying to phone my place
Take me away from your time, they said 
Ringing voices that are telling me I'm dead
Empty friends will dream until I sleep

I told you not to push me 
I told you not to save me
But now I'm on a bullet train 
(I'm going down)
I told you not to push me
I told you not to save me
But now I'm on a bullet train
And I'm going down

Empty friends are furious as the sea
Made rivers undertake my eyes in three (two one..)
I've met you beneath the burning skies
Empty friends are making me swim and defy
Raging sails cut by water so I can't see  

I told you not to push me 
I told you not to save me
But now I'm on a bullet train 
(I'm going down)
I told you not to push me
I told you not to save me
But now I'm on a bullet train
And I'm going down

Empty friends have killed me off like a trend.
It gives me the need to pretend my head is
Made of addiction; they eat up all my time.
It breeds the emptiness that wasn't mine.
I don't need to have a mind.

I told you not to push me 
I told you not to save me
But now I'm on a bullet train 
And I'm going down
I'm living off a sick brain
And I'm going down
To the perfect plane
Song about drugs. "empty friends" is a metaphor for drugs.

1. What meanings can you make out of it?
2. Favorite part? And why?
3. Least favorite part? And why?
4. Anything I should fix?
5. Anything else you feel like needs to be said they say it .. :D

1. The meaning is going to relate to my own experience. I've been on both sides. But never had anyone really try to fix me or help me. I pulled out on my own and left a lot of friends behind. It sucks. I don't like leaving friends behind. So it's hard to not be a "fixer". I'm a fixer and it's really hard not to be. I know the feeling of someone enforcing a fix and all it does is make you justify your rightness.
The meaning I get is "stuck". Do you want to be fixed? Do you want to loose friends? Do you want to be wrong? Do you want to be told what to do? no. Your stuck. Right now my sister is stuck and there is nothing I can do.
2. It breeds the emptiness that wasn't mine. For me this means being trapped in being right which only brings more emptiness.
5. When my dreams of becoming an artist were shattered is when I went to that place
