Hollow
D'espairs Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

絡み付くオレンヂが照らした部屋で
refrain 問いかける錆び付いた俺に
何を犠牲に奪い取ったnowadays?
重く胸を突き刺す痛み何処へ?
Hollow...

飢えた世界に踊らされて荒んだ
いつか希望さえ嘘にして笑ってる
甘い欲に群がる蟻と同じさ
きっと生きながら死んでいた俺は
Hollow...罵声浴びせて 笑えばいいさ...
Hollow...唾を吐き捨て 笑えばいいさ...

Lalala... 引き裂かれたプライドが揺れてる like a ghost
Lalala... I'm funny stupid 何の為に理想まで失った?

共鳴しない声の非難を浴びて
痛み感じない程 無器用all right
キレた快楽は理性まで白く
俺の苦悩まで掻き消してくれた

Hollow...罵声浴びせて 笑えばいいさ...
Hollow...唾を吐き捨て 笑えばいいさ...

Lalala... 泥だらけの欲望に塗れた flesh & blood
Lalala... I'm funny stupid 何の為に理想まで失った?

lost all light... drowned in greed

Lalala... 放たれていく理想と現実が round & round
Lalala... I'm funny stupid 繋がれてる運命さえ断ち切って

Hollow...消えてゆくなら 今燃え尽きたい...
Hollow...消えてゆくなら 今燃え尽きて...





I want to see the blue sky,
I put the trigger in my hand to my crazed brain.

Overall Meaning

The song "Hollow" by D'espairsRay depicts a person who feels lost and void as they question what they have sacrificed in order to gain something in the present. The song begins with a description of a room lit by orange light where the singer finds themselves grappling with the question of what they have given up in today's world. The theme of emptiness is emphasised with the repetition of the word "Hollow," conveying the idea that the singer feels empty and the pain they feel is not leading them anywhere. They have become a part of a world that is driven solely by desires.


The singer compares themselves to an ant that is swayed by its desires and ends up living and dying without truly experiencing life. Through this comparison, the song highlights how human beings have become so consumed by their desires that their sense of self and core values have been eroded. The singer expresses their frustration and inner turmoil with the world by lashing out and laughing at themselves.


The song also highlights how the singer has lost their sense of self due to the negativity and criticism they have experienced. They have become numb and are struggling to find their own voice amidst the constant insults they face. Despite their struggle, they still cling on to the hope of seeing a blue sky and the release that comes with it.


In conclusion, "Hollow" is a song that deals with the theme of emptiness and the struggle to find oneself amidst the chaos of the world. Its lyrics are powerful in their simplicity and convey the feeling of being lost in life.
