No
No shapes at all
Nothing real or artificial
No energy or heat
No troughs there are no peaks
No hangover from last night
No shame in first light
No time there'll be no change
No colours to rearrange

And I
I get that feeling
When we're apart, oh
I get the teaching that I can't be without you
Without you babe
Without you

No future there is no past
No slow there is no fast
No grace with which to admire
No face there is no desire
No symmetry or peace
No sirens all police
No cameras and no phones
No photographs and no tones

And I
I get that feeling
When we're apart, oh
I get the teaching that I can't be without you
Without you babe
Without you

Come on
Hey now
Come on
Hey now
Come on
Take my heart in your hands
Come on
Hey now
Come on
Hey now
Come on
Take my heart in your hands

And I
I get that feeling
When we're apart, oh
I get the teaching that I can't be without you
Without you babe
Without you

About This Song

"Without You" is a dreamy electronic ballad that explores the profound emptiness and disorientation experienced when separated from a loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of emotional numbness, describing a world stripped of all sensation, color, and meaning-"no shapes at all," "no energy or heat"-emphasizing how love gives life its vibrancy and substance. Empire of the Sun's signature ethereal synth-pop sound creates a floating, otherworldly atmosphere that perfectly mirrors the song's themes of being lost in limbo without connection. The track showcases the duo's ability to blend vulnerability with their cosmic electronic aesthetic, transforming personal longing into a universal meditation on dependency and love. As part of their breakthrough album "Walking On A Dream," it helped establish Empire of the Sun as masters of emotionally resonant dance music that transcends typical club fare.

    I think, that most artists are afraid of making such "extravagant" music, cause they think it may sound trashy. Bands like MGMT or EOTS are just touching a little bit on the surface of exploration. Hoping for more courage like this in the music world.
