Motorcycle Emptiness: When Punks Became Intellectual

What is Motorcycle Emptiness by Manic Street Preachers about? More like abstract poetry than lyrics, the song's lyrics hide a deep and profound message on society, alienation and despair. Penned by Richey Edwards and Nicky Wire, this song was an attempt to prove to the world that the Welsh punk rockers held a vast intellect.

In this video, we explore the full story behind the creation of Motorcycle Emptiness by Manic Street Preachers, plus we analyse what the lyrics could mean and explore the legacy the song left for the band.
