Hollow King
Hollow King: Embracing Desolation in a Crowned Existence
Lyrics
I was doomed to carry the burden
I feel destined to bear a heavy burden
Of the emptiness in this world
Acknowledging the emptiness pervasive in the world
Crushing under the weight
Overwhelmed by the weight of the burden
Searching for an escape
Seeking a way to escape
But I can't get away
Unable to break free from the situation
I wear a crown but I'm no king
Despite having a crown, I lack true kingship
I'm the strain of suffering
Representing the intense pain and hardship
There is a void deep in my mind
A deep void exists in my mind
Once a shining light
Formerly a radiant light within me
My fate abducting me
Fate forcefully leading me
To the darkest eternity
Towards the darkest and eternal suffering
I became the hollow king
I have become the Hollow King
This is what is left of me
This is the diminished state of my being
All you dead men in my head
The voices of the past haunt me
sing the bittersweet, cold symphony
Singing a melancholic and chilling symphony
Queen of pain
Describing the embodiment of pain
Throw my heart into the drain
Throwing my heart away, possibly symbolizing despair
Everyday I see the loss
Witnessing loss every day
and I admit maybe it's…
Admitting that perhaps it's the cost of life
Maybe it's life's cost
Explicit expression of frustration
FUCK
An exclamation, possibly indicating intense emotion
All my thoughts are self-destructive
My thoughts are destructive towards myself
I have no mercy left in me
Devoid of compassion or forgiveness
Your words fill my soul with black blood
External words darken my inner self
I can feel my body rot
Sensing decay within my own body
The anger's rising deep within
Intense anger building up inside
And leaves me with nothing
Leaving me with nothing
I became the hollow king
I have become the Hollow King
This is what is left of me
This is the diminished state of my being
All you dead men in my head
The voices of the past haunt me
sing the bittersweet cold symphony
Singing a melancholic and chilling symphony
Queen of pain
Describing the embodiment of pain
Throw my heart into the drain
Throwing my heart away, possibly symbolizing despair
Everyday I see the loss
Witnessing loss every day
and I admit maybe it's
Admitting that perhaps it's the cost of life
Maybe it's life's cost
Explicit expression of frustration
This crown is growing deeper into my skull
The crown is deeply embedding into my skull
Turning me into an empty, lifeless hull
Transforming me into an empty and lifeless shell
Dragged through hell, now here with me
Having endured hell, now in a state of insanity
Welcome to insanity
Inviting others to experience the same madness
Bow down and sing
Bowing down and acknowledging my presence as the Hollow King
I am the Hollow King
Reiterating my identity as the Hollow King
