BELMONT - HOLLOWED OUT LYRICS
[Verse 1]
I'm hollowed out where a bright crux used to be
I'm shredding my skin like you wouldn't believe
I couldn't help myself I just needed to grieve
While I lived vacant in a memory
Backtrack never thought I'd ever be back
Think fast never thought I'd ever be last
I'm selfish with time it's my only worth
Step back cuz I'm feeling really outmatched
Forced in while I'm dealing with the contrast
You're far from me that's hard for me tread carefully
[Chorus]
I'm tongue tied inside with a little bit of lust mixed in to mold myself this solitude I live in
Pretend like I'm never gonna need a friend again
I'll keep myself intact
[Verse 2]
Drift away to a place that's not so harrowing
To the back plate of my mind, digging up what's left to find
With the bar set way to high for me I'm bound to sink uncomfortably
[Chorus]
I'm tongue tied inside with a little bit of lust mixed in to mold myself this solitude I live in
Pretend like I'm never gonna need a friend again
I'll keep myself intact
Hollowed Out

The lyrics of Belmont's song "Hollowed Out" express a feeling of emptiness and detachment from the world around the singer. The opening line, "I'm hollowed out where a bright crux used to be," sets the tone for the rest of the song, describing a loss of something vital and central to their being. The singer is "shredding [their] skin" as a way of coping with this loss, whether it be a person, a dream, or a sense of purpose.
The singer acknowledges their own "selfishness" with time and admits to feeling outmatched but also suggests that this is a necessary part of their process of healing and self-discovery. They are "tongue-tied inside," struggling to express themselves or connect with others, and seek refuge in a "solitude" that they have built for themselves.
The chorus repeats the idea of keeping oneself "intact" and living in the pretense of not needing anyone else. The final lines acknowledge a sense of despair at the impossibility of living up to their own high standards and the inevitability of sinking "uncomfortably" in their own isolation.
