The Hollow
Eternal Guilt: Unraveling a Soul's Desperation in Ancient Bards' 'The Hollow'
Lyrics
When all the haze dissipates
When all the confusion or uncertainty clears.
This body is empty,
Expressing a sense of emptiness within oneself.
where is my father?
A question about the whereabouts of the speaker's father.
God, what have I done?
An exclamation expressing remorse or guilt, addressed to God.
He is no more.
Confirmation that the father is no longer present.
Run away! Run away! Murderer, Run away!
Repeated urging to escape, labeling the speaker as a murderer.
Run away! Run away! Murderer, Run away!
-Blood threads weaved in the dark
Metaphorical description of a grim situation, involving blood and darkness.
Warp is doom, weft is loss
Describing a situation where negative outcomes are inevitable.
The die is cast there's no turning back now
Indicating a point of no return, emphasizing inevitability.
Can't you see this body is empty?
Repetition of emptiness, seeking acknowledgment from others.
He's not here, where is my father?
Reiteration of the father's absence, a plea for information.
Someone help me, what have I done?
A cry for help and a questioning of one's actions.
It's my fault now he is no more!
Acceptance of responsibility for the father's absence.
Can't you see this body is empty?
Repetition of the emptiness theme, seeking acknowledgment from others.
He's not here, where is my father?
Reiteration of the father's absence, a plea for information.
Someone help me, what have I done?
A cry for help and a questioning of one's actions.
It's my fault now he is no more!
Acceptance of responsibility for the father's absence.
Run away! Run away!
Repeated urging to escape, labeling the speaker as a murderer.
