Hole In The Sky
Delmag Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You never fall to pieces
Anytime you choose to
Any one whos close
Enough can hear you moving
I can feel you breathing out loud
I feel like I shouldn't be here
I dont even care
If I end up leading
I can see you seeing
Me for what I am
And there's a hole in the sky
And it's taking us alive
It's taken us while to even notice it was there
And I I'll never fall to pieces anytime you hear this
Remember what i said
I would rather live like you do
You never fall to pieces
Anytime you choose to
Any one whos close
Enough can hear you moving
I can feel you breathing out loud
I feel like I shouldn't be here
Like I didnt prove enough to sit and stare
I dont even care
If I end up leading
I can see you seeing
Me for what I am
And there's a hole in the sky
And it's taking us alive
It's taken us while to even notice it was there
And I I'll never fall to pieces anytime you hear this
Remember what i said
I got a map
A map to keep me moving
So my legs dont sink in
Sink in to the ground
I wanted what you said
Said would make us wander
Now your never coming around
I feel like I shouldn't be here
Like I didnt prove enough to sit and stare
I dont even care
If I end up leading
I can see you seeing
Me for what I am
And there's a hole in the sky
And it's taking us alive
It's taken us while to even notice it was there
And I, I never fall to pieces anytime you hear this
Remember what i said
It's hard to see
I'm keeping this alive
And there's jealousy
Eating me inside
And it's hard to see
I'm keep this alive
And there's jealousy
It's eating me inside
And there's a hole in the sky
And it's taking us alive
It's taken us while to even notice it was there
And I, I never fall to pieces anytime you hear this
Remember what i said
The song "Hole in the Sky" by Delmag is a reflection on the singer's admiration for someone who seems to have their life together and never falls apart. The singer recognizes that they themselves feel inadequate in comparison, feeling like they haven't proven enough to occupy the same space as the other person. Despite this, the singer still longs to live like the other person and wishes to be seen as they truly are, even if it means potentially taking on the role of a leader. The repeated line "never fall to pieces" serves as a contrast between the two individuals and creates a sense of admiration from the singer towards the other person.
The chorus "And there's a hole in the sky, and it's taking us alive" can be interpreted as a metaphor for a larger issue or problem that is affecting everyone, including the two individuals in question. It takes them a while to notice the hole or the problem, and the singer pledges to never fall apart as they face it together. In the last verse, the singer seems to be attempting to keep something alive, perhaps a relationship or a sense of purpose. However, jealousy is eating away at them, which further emphasizes their feelings of inadequacy.
Overall, "Hole in the Sky" is a song about admiration, insecurity, and perseverance in the face of problems larger than ourselves.

Sink in to the ground
Become stuck and immobilized

It's hard to see
It's difficult to comprehend
I'm keeping this alive
I'm struggling to maintain this
And there's jealousy
I am envious
Eating me inside
Consuming my thoughts and emotions
