Hollow
Throne of Hollow Ground: Deceitful Lies and Inner Struggle
Lyrics
You stole my light
You took away my brightness or happiness.
You led me astray
You led me in the wrong direction or misguided me.
But for some reason
Despite everything, there's a compelling reason why I can't leave.
I can't walk away
Images of life quickly pass through my mind, suggesting a fleeting existence.
Glimpses of life flash before my eyes
My inner self is adrift in your deceptive falsehoods.
My soul feels lost in your deceitful lies
A symbolic seat of emptiness or falseness.
Throne of hollow ground
Take off your metaphorical authority, let go of your power.
Remove your crown
I have the ability to reveal or demonstrate something to you.
I can Show you how
You have brought me to a lower state or level.
You've dragged me down
Repeated emphasis on being brought down.
Dragged me down
Perceived unease or trembling in your voice.
I heard the shudder in the tone of your voice
Describing how things will change.
Telling me how
Despite the passage of eighteen years, nothing has changed.
Times will change
Your promises or expressions lacked sincerity.
Eighteen years on its all the same
I feel so empty that I remain unfulfilled.
Your words were empty
Reiteration of the emptiness or falseness mentioned earlier.
So I empty I remain
Expresses the idea of a symbolic throne without substance.
Throne of hollow ground
Remove your metaphorical authority; I can reveal something to you.
Remove your crown I can
Emphasis on being brought down once again.
Show you how
Repeated assertion of the ability to show or demonstrate.
You've dragged me down
Restatement of being brought down.
Dragged me down
Reiteration of being brought down.
I write my sins with rusted nails
Expressing wrongdoing through the metaphor of writing sins with rusted nails.
Driven through the hands
Referring to the pain or suffering caused to others.
Of the ones who I've failed
In challenging times, self-doubt arises regarding personal value.
Its times like these
Questioning whether the speaker is the problem or if someone else is a curse.
When I question my worth
Reiteration of the symbolic throne of emptiness.
Am I the problem?
Repeating the call to remove the metaphorical authority and the ability to show something.
Or are you my curse?
Restating being brought down.
Throne of hollow ground
Reiteration of being brought down.
Remove your crown I can
Concluding repetition of the ability to show or demonstrate.
Show you how
Final repetition of being brought down.
You've dragged me down
Concluding repetition of being brought down.
Dragged me down
Final repetition of being brought down.
