Hollow Man
Embracing Wholeness: Love's Power in a Hollow Man's World
Lyrics
Without your love I'm a hollow man
Without the presence of your love, I feel empty and incomplete.
Without you here I don't know who I am
When you are not around, I struggle to define my identity and purpose.
And I can't see traveling another mile
I cannot envision continuing this journey without you.
Without you here holding my hand
Having you by my side is essential for emotional support and stability.
I'm a rushing river, Babe, you know me
Describing oneself as a dynamic and unpredictable force, comparing to a rushing river.
Prone to being turbulent and free
You have contained and controlled my love, but it is intensifying and reaching a point of overflow.
But you've dammed up my love and it's building up
Expressing that the suppressed emotions of love are accumulating and will soon burst forth.
Oh it's bound to overflow
Anticipating the overwhelming release of emotions, reaching a state of overflow.
I'm an old dirt road, Babe, that you know
Comparing oneself to an old dirt road, familiar with solitude and coldness.
Used to being lonesome and cold
Being accustomed to loneliness, but your presence has changed that.
You've wondered down me now so many times
You have explored and experienced the narrator's life journey multiple times.
By now you know all my curves and missing signs
Your familiarity with my nuances and flaws is deep and comprehensive.
I'm an old hound laying in the sun
Comparing oneself to an old hound basking in the sun, signifying loyalty and reliability.
You know I'll be around when the day is done
Assurance of being there when needed, particularly at the end of the day.
You'll never have to worry about my loving anyone else
Pledging unwavering loyalty, ensuring that the narrator's love is exclusive.
You know I'd follow you all the way to hell
Expressing a willingness to follow the loved one even through difficult times.
Without your love I'm a hollow man
Reiterating the idea that without love, the narrator feels hollow and incomplete.
Without you here I don't know who I am
Similar to line 2, emphasizing the impact of your absence on the narrator's self-identity.
And I can't see traveling another mile
Repeating the sentiment that the journey lacks purpose without the presence of the loved one.
Without you here holding my hand
Reiterating the importance of physical closeness and emotional support.
'Cause without you here holding my hand
Underlining the significance of holding hands as a symbol of connection and reassurance.
I'm a hollow man
Without your presence and support, I feel hollow and incomplete.
