Hollow Men
Echoes of Emptiness: The Hollow Men Unveiled
Lyrics
Ho hollow
Expression of emptiness or hollowness
Ho hollow
Repetition emphasizing emptiness or hollowness
Ho hollow
Continued emphasis on emptiness or hollowness
Ho hollow
Reinforcing the sense of emptiness or hollowness
Ho Hollow, we the hollow men
Identification with being hollow, lacking substance or purpose
Feel our rage
Emotions of anger or fury
Hear our sage
Listening to wise individuals or voices
This is cactus land
Reference to a desolate or barren place
Oh, hollow men
Reiteration of identifying as hollow individuals
Meaningless whispers through our paralyzed tongues
Speaking without meaning or significance
Shapeless, colourless, we the hollow men
Being formless and lacking essence
Sunlight eyes, voices singing in the wind
Having eyes that reflect light, possibly wisdom, with voices blending in nature
Disguises wearing thin
Superficial disguises that are becoming transparent or evident
We the hollow men (Hollow man, hollow man, hollow man)
Reiteration of being hollow, devoid of substance or identity
Ho hollow
Repetition emphasizing emptiness or hollowness
Ho hollow
Continued emphasis on emptiness or hollowness
Ho hollow
Reinforcing the sense of emptiness or hollowness
We the hollow men
Identification with being hollow, lacking substance or purpose
Feel our rage hear our sage
Emotions of anger or fury; listening to wise individuals or voices
This is cactus land
Reference to a desolate or barren place
Oh, hollow men
Reiteration of identifying as hollow individuals
Fading stars
Diminishing celestial bodies; disappearing or fading
Falling shadows
Declining or vanishing shadows
Lips that kiss
Kissing lips that bring a curse upon the hollow state
Curse us now we're hollow
Being cursed in a state of emptiness
Broken jaws
Broken ability to speak or communicate
A speechless endeavor
Effort to speak without success or impact
Those sightless eyes, somehow see that we are hollow
Having blinded eyes that perceive the emptiness within
Ho hollow
Repetition emphasizing emptiness or hollowness
Ho hollow
Continued emphasis on emptiness or hollowness
Ho hollow
Reinforcing the sense of emptiness or hollowness
We the hollow men
Identification with being hollow, lacking substance or purpose
Feel our rage
Emotions of anger or fury; listening to wise individuals or voices
Hear our sage
Listening to wise individuals or voices in a desolate place
This is dead land
Reference to a lifeless or unproductive place
Oh, hollow men
Reiteration of identifying as hollow individuals in a dead environment
Oh oh, hollow men
Repetition emphasizing the identification with being hollow
Oh oh, hollow men
-Oh oh, hollow men, here we go
Reiteration of identifying as hollow individuals; preparing for a cycle
Round and round the prickly pear
Circular movement around a symbolic representation of futility or stagnation
Round and round the prickly pear
Continued circular movement around this symbol
Round and round the prickly pear
Further continuation of circular movement around this symbol
This is how the world ends
Connection between this cycle and the end of the world
