Words So Hollow
Control Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Telling a tale of, where your false heroes lie
Making an accusation of your voice within
Is the end or did we just begin?
Will you ever know the words I have within?
Or am I just a face that lies to you again?
It seems you're barely alive or blind to see
Searching for words unbroken
Can you see again?
The ones that will pull you in, arent even your friends
Will they try to leave you?
Will they let you down?
Or break you just to fit you in with the crowd?
Will you ever know the words I have within?
Or am I just a face that lies to you again?
It seems you're barely alive or blind to see
The feeling of truth and what it means to me
Will you ever know the words I have within?
Or am I just a face that lies to you again?
It seems you're barely alive or blind to see
The feeling of truth and what it means to me
The song "Words so Hollow" by Control speaks to the frustration and isolation that comes from feeling misunderstood or unappreciated. The lyrics describe the difficulty of finding words to express oneself and the fear of being seen as insincere or fake. The verses suggest that the singer is surrounded by people who don't share their values or understand their perspective. The chorus asks whether anyone will truly understand them or if they will continue to be judged unfairly.
In the first verse, the singer is searching for words that will speak to their authentic emotions, but they worry that those words will fall on deaf ears or be ignored. The reference to "false heroes" suggests that the people around them are not genuine or reliable. The second verse continues this theme, questioning whether the people around them will be a true source of support, or if they will ultimately cause harm. There is a sense of disillusionment and distrust in these verses, echoed in the repeated question of the chorus: "Will you ever know the words I have within?"
Despite this frustration, the singer is still reaching out, still attempting to connect with others. The song's openness and vulnerability suggest that the singer is ultimately hopeful. They want to be understood, even if it's a difficult process. The song's emotional honesty is striking, and it's likely to resonate with anyone who's ever felt like an outsider.
