Smile Empty Soul is a post-grunge band formed in 1998 in Santa Clarita, California by Sean Danielsen (vocals and guitars), Ryan Martin (bass), and Derek Gledhill (drums). As one can guess from the name, they are well-known for writing about very heavy subject matter. |

Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Go ahead and try to find one positive thought in any of their songs. We'll wait. |

Post-Grunge: One of the more respected bands if this genre, with some mentioning them in the same breath as the "big five" (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and Soundgarden). |

Indecipherable Lyrics |
| | Smile Empty Soul (Music) / int_bb225804 |
comment |
Indecipherable Lyrics: Frequently. Notable mentions are "Bottom of a Bottle", in which the lyric "I do it just to feel like I'm alive" sounds like "I do it just to feel like I'm ahhh ahh ahhhhahhh!", and "Therapy", in which the entire chorus is just...well, you try to figure out what he's saying. |
