Hollow
Embracing Change: Unveiling the Depths of Self in Parkway Drive's 'Hollow'
Lyrics
My truth has been revealed, at the cost of everything I knew.
Revelation of my truth, losing everything familiar.
My last safe-haven falls behind me, with the self that once consumed.
Safe haven lost, leaving behind the old self.
Into the void.
Entering the unknown.
I'm pursuing only answers.
Focused on seeking answers only.
I'm shedding skins and faces, past loves and bitter hatreds.
Discarding past identities, loves, and hatreds.
And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass.
A predetermined path shatters like glass.
The failings of yesterday become the catalyst to seek my change.
Yesterday's failures drive the need for change.
And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass.
Path breaking signifies a catalyst for transformation.
The failings of yesterday become my catalyst.
Failings of the past become the catalyst for change.
So here I stand, a stranger to my newfound freedom.
Standing as a stranger in newfound freedom.
I am a vessel.
Identifying as a vessel.
I am a vessel without destination, devoid of direction.
Vessel without direction or destination.
No roles define me, yet conflict embraces me.
Undefined by roles, conflict surrounds.
At the mercy if lucidity, I am adrift in a world all to real.
Lacking clarity, adrift in a painfully real world.
A hollow man.
Embracing emptiness, becoming a hollow man.
Into the arms of eternal struggle, I must condemn my restless mind.
Condemning the restless mind to eternal struggle.
I must condemn my restless mind.
Reiteration of condemning the restless mind.
YEAH.
Expressing intensity or affirmation (YEAH).
And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass.
Repeated theme of a shattered, predetermined path.
The failings of yesterday become the catalyst to seek my change.
Yesterday's failures drive the need for change, again.
And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass.
Reiteration of a shattered path as a catalyst for transformation.
The failings of yesterday become my catalyst,
Failings of the past continue to drive change.
I seek the guidance gained from silence.
Seeking guidance through silence.
Illumination from within the darkness.
Finding enlightenment within darkness.
My council kept with the emptiness, in the heart of the unknown.
Keeping counsel with emptiness, amidst the unknown.
