Hollow Ground
Embracing Redemption: Echoes of Isolation in "Hollow Ground
Lyrics
Once again I've lost my way.
Expressing a sense of being lost once again in life.
Going nowhere fast, I dread the return.
Feeling stuck and making no progress, anticipating a negative outcome upon return.
Spend my days in this self-made cage.
Living in a self-imposed confinement or limitation.
Where my soul can dwell,
Finding solace and refuge for the soul within this cage.
And my loneliness is thriven far to well.
Loneliness thriving and intensifying within this restricted space.
All and none of the answers I've found.
Discovering answers that are both all-encompassing and inconclusive.
Alone I stand on hollow ground.
Standing alone on a metaphorical ground that lacks substance or meaning.
Too many years have passed.
Reflecting on the passage of time and the accumulation of experiences.
Too much blood has been spilt.
Acknowledging the significant loss and violence endured.
I realize it's my destiny, my will.
Realizing one's fate and actions as a matter of personal choice and determination.
Things aren't always what they seem
Highlighting the deceptive nature of appearances and perceptions.
As the scars on my skin will show
Pointing to physical scars as evidence of hidden struggles.
On hollow ground I stand
Existing on ground that lacks depth or significance.
On hollow ground repent
Repenting on this hollow ground for past sins.
The sins were mine. I'm gone, I know.
Taking responsibility for personal transgressions and accepting departure.
Dazed and weakened by the haze.
Feeling disoriented and debilitated by a mental fog.
Went nowhere fast, I dread the return.
Reiterating a sense of going nowhere fast and anticipating a negative return.
I've lost my ways, am I losing my mind?
Questioning one's sanity and losing a sense of direction.
Maybe then my redemtion's there to find.
Suggesting that redemption may be found in the midst of confusion and turmoil.
