Hollow
Unveiling Echoes: Courtney Hartman's Poetic Journey Through Silence
Lyrics
hollow me out
Feeling emotionally empty or drained
clean on every side
Cleansed or purified on all sides
for a story line
In preparation for a narrative
i must tell
A necessity to communicate a personal story
follow the trail
Tracing the path I have left behind
i have left on the way
No more words left for self-expression
nothing more to say
Completion of personal expression
for myself
Internal reflection or closure
bottle up the sounds of slowing moving water
Capturing the ambient sounds of nature
of pigeons when they coo and flutter
The gentle sounds of pigeons
church bells tolling the time of the day
Church bells marking the passage of time
and someone telling someone to stay
Someone advising another to remain
halt my step
Pausing my progress
when i move to fast
When moving too quickly
walking blindly past
Unawarely advancing through life
night into day
Transitioning from night to day
swaying up high
Swaying or fluctuating at a great height
bodies caught in the sky
People suspended in the air
and with no reason why
Without a discernible cause
we're falling down
A descent or decline
bottle up sounds of slowing moving water
Reiteration of capturing natural sounds
of pigeons when they coo and flutter
Re-emphasizing pigeon sounds
church bells tolling the time of the day
Repetition of church bells and time
and someone telling someone to stay
Reiteration of advising someone to stay
to bottle up sounds of slowing moving water
Emphasizing the act of capturing nature's sounds
of pigeons when they coo and flutter
Repeating the imagery of pigeons
church bells tolling the time of the day
Reiteration of church bells and time passing
and someone telling someone to stay
Repeated advice for someone to stay
