B L A N K S P A C E S - Lana Diego

[Spoken Intro – sly, amused] “Empty rooms, flashing lights… all those blank spaces.” [Verse 1] Sequins shine, the crowd won’t fade, Another heartbreak on parade. Every tear rehearsed on cue, Every song a shade of blue. [Pre-Chorus] Every era, every show, Built on secrets we already know. Write it down, sell the pain, Play it louder, it’s the same refrain. [Chorus] Blank spaces, nothing left to say, Turn the night into another cliché. She can play it soft, play it mean, But it’s all still part of the same machine. Blank spaces, written on repeat, Empty echoes where the heart should beat. [Verse 2] Fans decode the hidden lines, Call it magic, I call it signs. Every lover, every fight, Packaged pretty under neon lights. [Pre-Chorus] Paper walls and velvet ropes, Every smile just selling hope. Write the ending, sell the start, Forget the girl, remember the chart. [Chorus] Blank spaces, nothing left to say, Turn the night into another cliché. She can play it soft, play it mean, But it’s all still part of the same machine. Blank spaces, written on repeat, Empty echoes where the heart should beat. [Bridge – whispered, mocking] Cry louder, they’ll adore, Bleed prettier, they want more. It’s a tragedy, can’t you see? A fairytale parody. [Final Chorus – soaring, anthemic] Blank spaces, nothing left to say, We’re all watching as it fades away. She can play it soft, play it mean, But she’s still locked inside the machine. Blank spaces, carved in history, How ridiculous fame can be. [Spoken Outro – dry laugh] “Write your name, darling. I’ll fill in the blanks.”
