Hollow
...Where Angels Fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feelings I don't understand
Emotional states I can not explain
Emptiness with no apparent cause
You say I'm broken heal me if you can!

Using admiration as a substitute for love
Working to suppress the feelings based on my reflexions
Trying not to think
So afraid, would I brake?
Invisible for those I love
Can you see me? Take me as I am!

Using admiration as a substitute for love
Working to suppress the feelings based on my reflexions

Existing like a sleepwalker
Wake me up, take my hand and give me what I need!





Playing with the thought of failure Could it be my saviour?
Craving to have something as a substitute for love
