Hollow Bones
Flight of the Hollow Soul
Lyrics
You started out a solemn soul
You initially had a serious and introspective nature
Eyes of sterling and wings of gold
Your eyes were bright and your potential was remarkable
Hollow bones filled with hope
Your inner self, represented by "hollow bones," was filled with optimism
Help to take you where you want to go
Optimism helps guide you towards your aspirations
So you packed up all your things and went
You decided to embark on a journey, leaving your comfort zone
But weight accompanies time well spent
However, experiences and time bring their own challenges
The hollow spaces you once knew
The empty spaces within you became burdensome as you matured
Became heavy as you grew and grew
The weight of life's experiences became significant
A burden it is to travel light
Traveling with lightness is challenging
Not on the body, but on the mind
The burden is not physical but mental
Let it down every once in a while
Occasionally, release the mental load
Come back home after mile after mile
Return home after your journey
Fill your books with
Document your experiences in books
Pressed plants and poetry
Include nature and artistic expressions in your memories
Empty your heart of the things that you've seen
Share your heart but free it from the weight of disturbing experiences
But don't let me keep you
Acknowledge that the speaker won't hold you back
I know you have soaring to do
Acknowledge the need for personal growth and exploration
Just please don't let go of me
Ask not to be forgotten despite the inevitable distance
Through all of the things that you see
The speaker understands your need to explore, even though it's painful
I always knew you would leave
The speaker anticipated your departure
Right now I'm just trying to find peace
The speaker is currently seeking peace
Just promise you will stay true
Ask for a commitment to remain true to oneself
But do not let me keep you
Despite the plea not to be held back, reiterate the understanding
Just promise you will return
Request a promise to return after the journey
And tell of all the things you've learned
Encourage sharing the lessons learned during the absence
But don't let me keep you
Reiterate not to be held back despite the uncertain future
I don't know what I'll do
The speaker expresses uncertainty about the consequences of your departure
