About Empty Threat

Band member Iain Cook has said of the song: Whenever we work on a new song, it's of paramount importance that we find the right balance between the various elements in the track and instrumentation. Whether it's the tension between brighter melodies and darker lyrics, or sparking synths and gritty production, it’s a signature of what we do. We worked hard to get the right combination of those things for Empty Threat, and in the end we managed to find the sweet spot that captures the essence of Chvrches. .

Empty Threat Lyrics

[00:00.02] Draw a line in the sand
[00:06.57] Like there's nothing to regret and nothing to prove
[00:14.18] Set my sights high enough
[00:20.80] So I see the turning tides are parting for you
[00:28.94] Taking back an empty threat
[00:32.30] More than you could ever know
[00:36.07] Take it back with no regrets
[00:38.56] I was better off when I was on your side
[00:42.27] And I was holding on
[00:43.57] To try and not forget
[00:47.13] Hoping that you never know
[00:50.50] Take it back with no regrets
[00:53.03] I was better off when I was on your side
[00:56.60] And I was holding on
[00:58.04]
[01:04.92] No more time second-guessed
[01:11.63] Like there's nothing to forget and nothing to lose
[01:19.54] Hold my ground long enough
[01:26.14] 'Til I see the turning tides are coming from you
[01:34.01] Taking back an empty threat
[01:37.66] More than you could ever know
[01:41.28] Take it back with no regrets
[01:43.86] I was better off when I was on your side
[01:47.39] And I was holding on
[01:48.87] To try and not forget
[01:52.15] Hoping that you never know
[01:55.88] Take it back with no regrets
[01:58.44] I was better off when I was on your side
[02:03.82] If we want to stay here, can we see the waves?
[02:07.22] They're spilling over us, filling our insides
[02:11.18] In the rising water, in the rising tide
[02:14.57] They're spilling over me, filling my insides
[02:18.15] If we want to stay here, can we see the waves?
[02:21.76] They're spilling over us, filling our insides
[02:25.55] In the rising water, in the rising tide
[02:29.14] We wait for the fall (I gotta tell ya)
[02:32.90] Maybe the water's high (I gotta tell ya)
[02:36.46] But I can see the difference (I gotta tell ya)
[02:40.01] Maybe the water's high (I got-got)
[02:43.77] But I can see the difference (I gotta tell ya)
[02:47.33] Maybe the water's high (I gotta tell ya)
[02:51.08] But I can see the difference (I gotta tell ya)
[02:54.61] Maybe the water's high (I got-got)
[02:58.04] But I know that this is different
[03:01.12] Taking back an empty threat
[03:04.51] More than you could ever know
[03:08.16] Take it back with no regrets
[03:10.76] I was better off when I was on your side
[03:14.15] And I was holding on
[03:15.81] To try and not forget
[03:18.77] Hoping that you never know
[03:22.82] Take it back with no regrets
[03:25.39] I was better off when I was on your side
[03:28.73] And I was holding on
[03:32.52]
