Hollow Soul
Engel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down below, down below
Found a way, inside my mind I stay
Alone I roam
No way out, won't reach the stars
Or make it home, make it home
Dying soul, a lost control
Life unknown
Time has gone
Hollow soul
Story told
Torn apart, I've found it hard
To go on, to go on
Need a break, it's not to late
Stay among us all
Life unknown
Time has gone
Hollow soul
Story told
Life unknown
Time has gone
Hollow soul
Story told
The lyrics of "Hollow Soul" by Engel deal with themes of inner turmoil, existential crisis, and the search for meaning in life. The opening lines "Fighting on, we've tried it all / Down below, down below" suggest that the singer has been struggling with life's challenges but has not yet found a way out of their situation. The next lines "Found a way, inside my mind I stay / Alone I roam" imply that the singer has retreated into their own mind, seeking solace and perhaps a sense of separation from the outside world.
The pre-chorus "No way out, won't reach the stars / Or make it home, make it home / Dying soul, a lost control / Another pain belongs" expresses a sense of hopelessness and despair, with the singer feeling trapped and powerless to change their situation. The chorus "Life unknown / Time has gone / Hollow soul / Story told" reinforces this feeling of emptiness and a lack of purpose or direction.
The second verse "Torn apart, I've found it hard / To go on, to go on / Need a break, it's not too late / Stay among us all" reveals that the singer is struggling with mental and emotional exhaustion and is seeking a reprieve, perhaps from the pressures of society or their own expectations. The repetition of the chorus further emphasizes the sense of emptiness and futility that the singer is experiencing.
