Hollow Heart
Unveiling Shadows: Sam Cordes' Reflection on Hollow Hearts
Lyrics
When you open your eyes what do you see?
Reflecting on perception, questioning the view upon opening one's eyes.
Take a look at yourself
Encouraging self-reflection, examining one's own identity.
Is this who you wanna be?
Questioning alignment of current self with desired identity.
When you open the door
Symbolic act of opening a door, exploring new opportunities or experiences.
Does it feel like coming home?
Checking if the new experiences or opportunities feel like home.
In a room so empty
Feeling alone in a seemingly empty environment.
Don't you ever feel alone?
Questioning feelings of loneliness.
Don't you ever wonder what
Pondering on the potential life that could have been.
Your life could have been?
Reflecting on missed opportunities and alternate life paths.
Could have been
Reiterating the missed potential in life.
Tell me how you sleep at night
Questioning someone's conscience and peace during sleep.
Tell me what is going on in your mind
Asking about the thoughts and emotions of the person.
I can hardly understand it even though I've tried
Expressing difficulty in understanding despite attempts.
To blame it on your heart, your hollow heart
Attributing issues to the person's heart, possibly emotional emptiness.
Your hollow heart
Reiterating the presence of a hollow heart.
When I open my eyes
Shifting perspective to the singer's own observations.
This is what I see
Describing the other person as playing the victim role.
You act like the victim
Asserting that the person will never truly be a victim.
But you will never be
Discouraging complaints and emphasizing personal responsibility.
So stop complaining
Attributing responsibility to the person and urging action.
cause it's all on you
Highlighting the lack of effort in fixing issues.
Don't you bother fixing it
Suggesting that the person never attempted to address problems.
Not like you've ever tried to
Expressing curiosity about alternate life paths.
Sometimes I wonder what our life could have been
Repeating the inquiry about sleep and mental state.
Tell me how you sleep at night
Reiterating the curiosity about the person's thoughts.
Tell me what is going on in your mind
Expressing difficulty in understanding despite efforts.
I can hardly understand it even though I've tried
Blaming emotional issues on the person's heart.
To blame it on your heart, your hollow heart
Repeating the presence of a hollow heart.
Your hollow heart
Emphasizing the existence of the emotional void.
Still I blame it on your hollow heart
Continuing to attribute issues to the person's hollow heart.
Your hollow heart
Reiterating the presence of the hollow heart.
Do you sleep at night?
Persistently questioning the person's sleep quality.
Do you know what's going on in your mind?
Asking if the person is aware of their thoughts.
Tell me how you sleep at night
Repeating the inquiry about sleep and mental state.
Tell me what is going on in your mind
Reiterating the curiosity about the person's thoughts.
I can hardly understand it even though I've tried
Expressing difficulty in understanding despite efforts.
To blame it on your heart, your hollow heart
Blaming emotional issues on the person's heart.
Your hollow heart
Concluding with the presence of the hollow heart.
