The World Ends With You
Cover
Emptiness and
Composer(s) Takeharu Ishimoto
Length 3:03 (Original)
3:00 (Final Remix)
Type Battle track

Emptiness and is a battle track from The World Ends with You. It was added in the English version of the DS game, replacing Make or Break. It is sung by Satoko Amikura.

Unlike the other songs exclusive to the localization, like Three Minutes Clapping, it doesn't appear on the Subarashiki Kono Sekai + The World Ends with You album, instead being present on the original soundtrack, as "Secret Track" (an album the other songs added in the localization didn't appear on). The title, "Emptiness and" seems to be a play on words, as it seems as there should be another word to finish the song title but there is only "emptiness".

The lyrics were a mystery for a long time after the game came out. Likely due to being a "secret track", the lyrics were not included in the booklet, so there were only interpretations until the Apple Music release of the soundtrack, which listed official lyrics for the song.

A updated Final Remix version was added in The World Ends With You Final Remix

An earlier version of the track can be found in the SQUARE ENIX MUSiC Official Bootleg Vol. 1 album featured exclusively on iTunes.[1] This version predates the final release by 9 months and features different instrumentation.

Lyrics[]

It's always pale and hopeless
Your emptiness draws walls on me
They come in and reel me along

It's to replace the light goin'
Don't be the last who left on me
Just like a stalker by

Have you ever heard of denial?
Have you ever chanced on a gone me?
Bet you didn't know you could stop it
Maybe that means you have to do it

Emptiness strikes you out of nowhere
Emptiness- don't need any heaven
Feel the fire that's burning out of me
Emptiness takes you to the silence
Emptiness makes people live life
Feel the darkness that's falling down right now

It's you who dikes and render us
Your emptiness's inside of me
Keep it all from my mind

It's always wrong and breathless
This is a world to draw on me
Cause I know what you'll find

Fighting out all night like a chancellor
Ever heard of chance come to rock ya?
Take it in and you have to stop it
Shouting out "I have to do it"

Emptiness strikes you out of nowhere
Emptiness showed me that he hadn't
Feel the longing that's fading out of me
Emptiness takes you to the silence
Emptiness let's people live life
Feel the fading that's pointing your path out

Emptiness strikes you out of nowhere
Emptiness- don't need any heaven
Feel the fire that's burning out of me
Emptiness takes you to the silence
Emptiness makes people live life
Feel the darkness that's falling down right now
