Hollow Be My Name
Embracing Shadows: A Tale of Desolation and Redemption
Lyrics
I see black
I perceive darkness
I see red
I perceive intense emotion or danger
As all the other shades are beaten dead
All other variations or aspects have been defeated
You're pure crystal
You are pure and transparent like crystal
The tempting sin
You are a seductive and irresistible temptation, possibly leading to sin
Can't you see that I'm giving in...to you?
Expressing surrender or submission to the allure of the other person
This is the state you've left me breathing in
Describing the emotional state caused by the other person
Struggling between this hate and suffering
Feeling torn between intense hatred and enduring pain
Come, shake the leeches off me
Inviting the other person to free the speaker from emotional parasites
And help me see through bloodshot eyes
Requesting assistance to see clearly despite emotional turmoil
Don't close the circle around me
Pleading not to enclose or suffocate the speaker
For hollow will be my name
Expressing an impending sense of emptiness or loss
I feel black
Feeling a profound sense of darkness
I feel red
Experiencing intense emotion or danger
As all the other emotions are playing dead
All other emotions seem lifeless or absent
You're living fire
You are a living, passionate force
The cunning lie
You are a deceitful falsehood
Can't you see how we both deserve to die
Expressing a shared belief in deserving a negative fate
This is the state you've left me rotting in
Describing the deteriorated state caused by the other person
Struggling between this guilt and suffering
Struggling between feelings of guilt and enduring pain
Come, shake the leeches off me and help me see through bloodshot eyes
Inviting the other person to remove emotional parasites and provide clarity
Don't say you won't die with me for we are one we are the same
Expressing unity and shared destiny, suggesting both should face consequences together
Come, break the silence in me and help me cleanse the bloodstained lies
Inviting the other person to break the silence and reveal hidden truths
Don't close the circle around me for hollow will be my name
Pleading not to enclose or suffocate the speaker, reiterating a sense of impending emptiness
