That Empty Stare

A haunting exploration of emotional distance and disconnection in modern relationships.

This song captures that devastating moment when you realize the person sitting right next to you feels a million miles away. It's about the slow fade of intimacy, the way technology and distraction can create walls between two people sharing the same space, and the desperate hope that somewhere beneath the silence, there's still something worth saving.

We've all been there—sitting across from someone we love, watching them scroll through their phone, seeing their eyes glaze over, feeling like we're invisible. This is for everyone who's ever felt like smoke in the air, fading while the person they care about stares right through them.

The lyrics paint a picture of quiet desperation: the unanswered questions, the delayed reactions, the fork chasing circles around the same bite. It's not a loud breakup or a dramatic fight—it's something more insidious. It's the slow erosion of presence, the gradual replacement of connection with empty stares and hollow routines.

But there's still a question hanging in the air, a last thread of hope: "Blink once for maybe, twice if you care."

Sometimes the most painful distance isn't measured in miles—it's measured in the two feet of table space between two people who used to be everything to each other.
