The Hollows
Embracing Light Amidst the Hollows: A Tale of Redemption
Lyrics
You buried me in the hollows so you could watch me burn
You placed me in a challenging situation to witness my suffering.
You took your knife of regret and hit me right where it hurts
You used your remorse as a weapon to target my vulnerabilities.
Guess you could say you have the blood on your hands
You acknowledge responsibility for causing harm.
You may have me at my worst but this is not how it ends
Despite being at my lowest, the current situation is not my ultimate fate.
This is not how it ends
Emphasizing that the current difficult situation won't define the conclusion.
Everyone has a story to tell
Everyone has their unique life experiences.
We build up walls so we can hide ourselves
We construct barriers to conceal our true selves.
Our failures consume us, our lights fading out
Our mistakes overwhelm us, causing our inner light to diminish.
We scream for an answer but don’t hear a sound
We cry out for solutions, but the response is silence.
Echoes respond I’m hollow inside
Feeling emotionally empty, like an echo in a hollow space.
Though darkness surrounds me I’ll put up a fight
In the face of darkness, a determination to resist and endure.
Hate is the cancer consuming my life
Hate is a destructive force consuming the speaker's life.
I’ll make this end by the end of the night
The speaker is resolved to end the negativity by the night's conclusion.
You buried me in the hollows in a coffin with no nails
Similar to line 1, reiterating a burial in a hollow place without security.
I will emerge from the depths, cause it’s the truth that prevails
Expressing determination to rise from adversity because truth prevails.
I will admit you are my biggest regret
Admitting that the person involved is a significant source of regret.
But the past is the past so I will lay you to rest
Recognizing the past but resolving to move forward and leave it behind.
I will lay you to rest
Reiterating the intention to let go of the past and find peace.
Everyone has a story to tell
Repeating the idea that everyone has a unique life narrative.
We build up walls so we can hide ourselves
Continuing the theme of building emotional barriers for self-protection.
Our failures consume us, our lights fading out
Reemphasizing the impact of failures on one's inner light.
We scream for an answer but don’t hear a sound
Repeating the plea for answers in the face of silence.
Echoes respond I’m hollow inside
Reiterating the feeling of emptiness and hollowness inside.
Though darkness surrounds me I’ll put up a fight
Promising resilience in the presence of surrounding darkness.
Hate is the cancer consuming my life
Reiterating the destructive nature of hate affecting the speaker's life.
I’ll make this end by the end of the night
Committing to ending the negative influence by the night's end.
You buried me in the hollows so you could watch me burn
Repeating the theme of being buried in a hollow place to face suffering.
You took your knife of regret and hit me right where it hurts
Reiterating the use of remorse as a weapon to cause pain.
Guess you could say you have the blood on your hands
Acknowledging the responsibility for causing harm and having blood on hands.
You may have me at my worst but this is not how it ends
Despite being in a challenging state, emphasizing that it won't be the end.
Oh
A moment of emphasis or reflection (Oh).
This is not how it ends
Reiterating that the current situation is not the ultimate conclusion.
