So full of empty promises is track 1 on Remedies for nothing, the 2025 debut album by Panacea, a four-piece grunge project from Brighton. It runs 3 minutes 27 seconds. It was also released as a single.
Political frustration without party allegiance. Just honest anger at systems that don't work.
What is So full of empty promises about?
So full of empty promises opens Remedies for nothing with the album's angriest target: politicians who say whatever wins the next vote and then deliver nothing. It isn't a song about one party or one election. It's about the feeling of being told, again and again, that things are about to get better, and watching them not.
The song sets the tone for the whole record. Every track that follows deals with a promise that didn't come true: affordable homes, decent jobs, mental health support, a future that looked brighter at seventeen.
What does So full of empty promises sound like?
Fast, loud and direct, with the dual vocals trading lines before locking together for the chorus. It's the closest thing on the album to a protest song.
