Empty (Ray LaMontagne Cover)

Lyrics:
There was trauma when you woke in the night
There was chaos when you started the fight
There were no winners or losers
Just plasters on bruises
And angry neighbours who turned on their lights

And no one can afford to go out
But you don’t have to shout so loud
We’ll get some cheap wine from Aldi and sit on the hill
And watch the sky as the bombers fly out

I’m just a little bit wiser just a little bit older
Just a little bit sadder just a little bit colder
You and me and trauma

You put the trauma in a box
And stored it in the loft
And then told me off
Because I’m either too sad 
Or not sad enough

We’ll take the lock down dog for a walk
Throw it snacks and throw it bones
Give it different pet names to make it confused
Will it be living with me or will it be living with you?

I’m just a little bit wiser and a little bit older
A little bitter sadder a little bit colder
You and me and trauma

You and me and trauma
I’m just a little bit wiser and a little bit older
I’m just a little bit wiser and a little bit older

You and me and the trauma

Ecco la traduzione in inglese del tuo testo, mantenendo lo stile originale e il tono da trap/rap:

⸻

I run fast, so sorry if I never hit the brakes
I see darkness in the eyes I never face
Got two phones off
but my thoughts online
And a voice in my head that tells me: go, it’s time

I go in circles, but no real crew
Those who say “I feel you” never knew the real you
I write bars like blades, you don’t feel the sting
But they hit you deep like certain things

My life’s on a beat, you can’t drain my energy
There’s night in my eyes, I don’t wanna leave this scene
She says I’m distant but I don’t really care
You can’t touch my heart, it’s locked inside the stereo there

I make bitches wet, every day’s fashion week
Everything made in my chill
She wants my dindin
But I just popped a pill
We’ll fuck inside your dreams still

Everything made in my chill
Now I trap, I asked for a bad b
Took her straight into my dreams
Now she fell in love, and all she says is yes to me

 Im too slow to release
To be seeking peace
An idea  thats foreign to me
Getting LOST to perfect getting free
The trouble i find 
Is the price i pay
To settle my mind 
Be on my way
The trouble I find
That's the price I pay
Like a deal that i signed 
A promise I made
You never answer the phone 
On fat tires in the dark alone
If the Skinny wires could touch my bones
Im sure those bones would explode
Bet that i never will  
Really like standing still
Stay too long my guts start to spill
 moving Target is harder to kill
Don't look my way and Think
I'LL be the first one to blink
Im practically  levitating
You're drowning in your drink
       You have some kind of face…
       Your face looks so kind.
       You have some kind of face…
       Your face looks kinda like mine. 
  i still think about it how Dumb
We weren't the same kind of young 
I can feel the earth flying around the sun
Holding on tight slows it down some
  If theres anything worth it to keep
Its The clean feeling of her feet 
After being wounded in the street
What kind of angel did I just meet

  
A wild desire burns
Out here on my own terms.
Painful mistakes make sure he learns. 
Life's hard enough without your judgment, concerns

 Typical metals burn my skin
Surface feeding stains it green
No faking chains or nickel rings
It devastates my alchemy 

You’re a rare stone on a common necklace
A ruby jewel set on a braided wire
appearing plain but presenting precious 
ancient questions beg us too,  requires

This is a tune about a girl as jewelry
A metaphor of stolen opportunity
Don’t overthink or lend it acuity
We've had enough of the privileged scrutiny
This should clear up any ambiguity
Ladies aren’t wrong to choose promiscuity
Reverse shame and admit your truancy
She's not yours to wear like jewelry\

fresh bathed in a new kind of calling
Polish off the sympathy to find me crawling
I’ll find it if I have to search all night
It’s down here hiding where there’s seldom light
If you wait until it shines you’ll catch the view
Reflected off the ground it looks like you

Give Your Best Away

AP Mercury: A Voice That Endures
​The songwriting alias of itinerant humanist Andrew Pendleton, AP Mercury crafts ballads that transcend genre. These are songs built on the foundation of the 20th-century American songbook, utilizing vivid lyrics and distinct harmonies to explore life's essential currents.
​His work focuses on overlooked characters and the fleeting, often painful, nature of existence. The music spans alternative rock, indie folk, and alt-country, presenting narratives of loss, love, solitude, and grief. There is a powerful undercurrent that confronts humanity's waste of its own paradise, championing kindness and community against betrayal and modern excess.
​These are not commercialized tracks. They are raw, emotional, and authentic unmastered recordings, preserved to deliver stories that demand a deep listen. AP Mercury offers an honest look at the world, revealing both what is right and what is wrong—a voice that, once heard, will linger with the listener.
