From a Consequence of Sound review:
Album opener “Empty Bottle” has a kind of double meaning; it evokes the Ukrainian Village rock club where Kinsella has spent many a Chicago night, but it also dips into the depression that tends to fester after one too many $3 Lone Stars.
[Verse 1]
Empty Bottle
Crowded goth show
What is it that you want to do?
Whatever it is, I do too
I’ll let you decide if this is hello or goodbye
Or if this isn’t anything
If I’m not really anyone
[Chorus]
I’m not coming down if you’re not coming down
In my dreams, I’m asleep
You’re in the bed
We speak French and the floor is made of glass
[Verse 2]
Empty Bottle
Reflective window
What is it that you hope to see?
Look beyond yourself, you will find me
[Chorus]
I’m not coming down, you’re not coming down
In my dreams, I’m asleep
You’re the bed, and "Isn’t Anything" never ends
[Verse 3]
You’ve got a lot of nerves
Will you please touch mine with yours?
Every stolen bike longed for in the city tonight
Is the story of our life
