Medulla
Hollow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Being tossed and forsaken
Has left me with a truth
That my body betrays me
Why do I have to come to
And on and on it goes
The burden never easing
I hold me breath even though
My brain wont let me stop breathing
I got nothing to show
And I gave it up for a reason
I hold my breath even though
These scars will never stop bleeding
If the house is burning down




I'm not trying to get out
To get out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hollow's song "Medulla" can be interpreted as a reflection on the struggles of mental health and the ongoing battle between one's mind and body. The first line, "Being tossed and forsaken," suggests a feeling of abandonment or being lost, leading to a realization of the truth about one's own body's limitations. This realization is compounded by the ongoing burden of mental illness, which feels like it will never ease.


The lyrics go on to describe the struggle between the desire to hold one's breath, to shut out the world and its challenges, and the need to keep breathing. This inner conflict is evident when the singer states "My brain won't let me stop breathing." The second half of the song finds the singer reflecting on the fruitlessness of their struggles, as they have "nothing to show" for their efforts, and the scars of their past continue to bleed.


Overall, the song depicts the struggle of coping with mental health problems, where the singer feels trapped in their own mind, unable to escape the pain and turmoil they experience internally.

Being tossed and forsaken
Has left me with a truth
That my body betrays me
Why do I have to come to?

Ohhhhh

And on and on it goes
The burden never easing
I hold my breath even though
My brain wonโ€™t let me stop breathing

I got nothing to show
I gave it up for a reason
I hold my breath even though
These scars will never stop bleeding!
[drop]
These scars will never stop bleeding!

And on and on it goes
The burden never easing
I hold my breath even though
My brain wonโ€™t let me stop breathing

I got nothing to show
I gave it up for a reason
I hold my breath even though
These scars will never stop bleeding!
[drop]
These scars will never stop bleeding!

(Will never stop)

These scars will never stop bleeding!
(Bleeding!)
(Bleeding!)
(Bleeding!)
These scars will never stop bleeding!
