Smallpools’ Socio Empath is a sonic rollercoaster that thrills and provokes in equal measure.
This alt-pop gem wraps weighty introspection in a glittering package of infectious rhythms and soaring melodies.
The track bursts to life with punchy drums and shimmering synths, creating an instant earworm.
Electric and acoustic guitars weave through the mix, adding depth to the polished production.
Underneath it all, a solid bassline keeps the energy high, propelling the song forward.
Socio Empath is a clever term for the disconnect between feeling deeply and taking action.
The band captures this modern dilemma with lines like “Thoughts and prayers and I-don’t-care’s / Next time promise we’ll do better.”
It’s a sharp observation of good intentions perpetually pushed to ‘next time’.
Vocals ride the instrumental wave with an urgency that echoes the song’s central conflict.
The delivery is rhythmic and insistent, giving extra punch to the repeated phrase “but nobody gets that”—words that gain significance with each repetition.
The refrain of “I’ll keep buying boots and sweaters” becomes both confession and critique.
It’s a sardonic nod to consumerism’s grip, even in the face of societal tragedies we claim to care about.
Socio Empath manages to be introspective and danceable in equal measure.
It invites listeners to lose themselves in the beat while grappling with uncomfortable truths about our collective response to tragedy.
This song holds up a mirror to our contradictions, all wrapped in a catchy package that’s hard to shake.
Smallpools proves that even the sunniest pop can carry shadows, leaving listeners tapping their feet while wrestling with their place in a complicated world.

Smallpools Socio Empath Lyrics
Where did you go?
Laying on the street dead of summer time
Taking the blow for all the ones who will always be fine
Where did you go?
Thoughts and prayers and I-don’t-care’s
Next time promise we’ll do better
(We’ll do better)
I’m a socio-empath but nobody gets that (but nobody gets that)
I’m a socio-empath but nobody gets that (nobody gets that)
Carry on with my life
Another day, another vice
Next time promise we’ll do better
I’ll keep buying boots and sweaters
(Nobody gets that)
(Nobody gets that)
Where did you go?
Picked out a shirt for a sunny day
How could you know?
Caught in the scope of somebody’s bad day
Where did you go?
Found a stray I’d love to save
Wish I had the means to do that (we’ll do better)
Screw that
I’m a socio-empath but nobody gets that (but nobody gets that)
I’m a socio-empath but nobody gets that (nobody gets that)
Carry on with my life
Another day, another vice
Next time promise we’ll do better
I’ll keep buying boots and sweaters
(Nobody gets that)
I’ll keep buying boots and sweaters
(Nobody gets that)
Next time promise we’ll do better
I’ll keep buying boots and sweaters
