Hollow
Affliction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The words are losing their meanings
Statements are changed, fixed or denied
They are covered up and disguised
With or without awareness

Fools, pursuing uncertainty
They don't know the reason why
Nothing satisfying anymore
Like it used to be

The reality is scary
Delusion is playing the role of truth
No one is brave any more
No one knows which one is pure

We are on a road
Which is enlightened by the dark




We are numb we are deaf we are blind
Everything is as we want, HOLLOW

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Affliction's song "Hollow" speak to the confusion and disillusionment that many people feel in the modern world. The first stanza describes how words and statements seem to be losing their meaning, and how people are covering up and denying things. This suggests a lack of honesty and transparency in society, and a sense that people are not communicating with each other in an authentic way.


The second stanza emphasizes the idea that people are pursuing uncertainty and don't know why. This could refer to a lack of purpose or direction in life, or a feeling of being lost or adrift. The lyrics suggest that nothing is as satisfying as it used to be, which could mean that people are struggling to find meaning and fulfillment in their lives.


The third stanza describes a reality that is scary and where delusion is replacing truth. This suggests that people are not able to see the world clearly or understand what is really happening. The lyrics suggest that no one is brave anymore and that no one knows what is pure, again highlighting the confusion and disillusionment that many people feel.


Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the state of modern society and the ways in which people are struggling to find meaning, purpose, and truth in their lives. It speaks to the sense of hollowness that many people feel, and suggests that we are all on a road that is enlightened by the dark, meaning that we are moving forward but not necessarily in a positive direction.
