Avion Roe's songs are about hope and overcoming obstacles. The 10 song album connects from the first song to the last with sound effects, pianos and subtle guitars while singer Evan Lester screams out thoughts that couldn't find songs to call their homes. Lester describes the record best: "Avion Roe saved our lives, ...We forgot everything we new about music and started over. 'Fiction' took over a year to make but it was worth it, we love playing these songs live." And their live show is not one to miss: guitar player Jordan Modro spends the entire set making one guitar sound like three, Sean Humphrey (bass) will more than likely jump off something while you're watching them. The drummer, Josh Cutlip, holds the group together while delivering a hyper, punk-influenced performance, and with all of this going on on the stage you still may find it hard to look away from their theatrical, mic-swinging singer Evan Lester.

Hollow Hearts
Avion Roe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you ever want to
Ever fall in love you
Had me from the start did you ever have a clue did you
That I loved you
Smothered thoughts of just you
Chemical and dark blue
But you don't have a clue do you

All I can see is scenery
All in the way you look at me
But even if far I'll make it true
I'll run til you're out of view
I'm so slit my throat in love with you
It's less of a mess than I've been through
Hardly enough I'm still confused
I'll run til you're out of view

Did you ever want to
Ever fall in love you
Had me from the start did you ever have a clue did you
That I loved you
Smothered thoughts of just you
Chemical and dark blue
But you don't have a clue do you
And you don't have a

Hollow heart I'll hold onto you
Can't get enough I'm chasing you
Let it set it gets into you
I'll run til you're out of view

Indicate all that I could do
Said and done I was safe with you
Running til I ran into you
Don't you get it by now oh my heads in the clouds

Did you ever want to
Ever fall in love you
Had me from the start did you ever have a clue did you
That I loved you
Smothered thoughts of just you
Chemical and dark blue
But you don't have a clue do you

(love somewhere, lost somewhere)
(ever fall in love, ever fall in love)

Did you ever want to
Ever fall in love you
Had me from the start did you ever have a clue did you
That I loved you
Smothered thoughts of just you
Chemical and dark blue
But you don't have a clue do you
And it's too late
It's too late

It's too late
It's too late

And it's too late
Unfortunately, it is now too late

It's too late
This point cannot be changed or reversed

It's too late
There is no going back

It's too late
This situation has reached its end
