The band consists of four members, Josh McQuay as the lead vocalist, Mike O'Rourke as rhythm and lead guitarist, Todd Pitman playing the bass guitar and Jeremy Cole playing the drums. All members made a decision early in their lives to use their skills as musicians. They have also used every opportunity presented to them to strengthen their personalities and talents to make them overall better musicians.
For the first few months of the bands career they were known as Victims Of The Fury. Due to issues with dedication, the groups first months were riddled with uncertainty and doubt. After a couple of member changes the band finally found the correct elements to continue their journey as Hollow Point Heroes. Immediately after their first show as H.P.H. the four friends knew they had something great and that they needed to pursue this dream to its' fullest potential.
Hollow Point Heroes has played venues all over from St. Louis, Missouri to Nashville, Tennessee. Their greatest triumph thus far has been their opportunity to play at one of Missouri's largest music festivals, Pointfest presented by 105.7 the point. In front of a crowd of 5,000 people they proved not only to themselves but to everyone else that they have the potential with hard work to become the greatest rock band to ever emerge from St.Louis.
H.P.H. is not only a band, but a brotherhood standing four strong trying to be heard in this extremely loud world. Their work ethic is unlike any other and their faith in music can never be broken. From drug addiction to broken hearts their songs touch many. Hollow Point Heroes is a standing testament to the people that when staring into even the darkest of times, hard work, dedication and staying true to yourself will always prevail. Follow your dreams, you only live once.
Over from the Start
Hollow Point Heroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How does it feel to have lied from the start?
I can't get past
The first day we met
I thought I was something I'd never regret
And it's heart breaking
What you meant to me
Squeezing this heart as it burst in you fist
From your finger tips
And now that you've killed me
Will you wash your hands free of this blood today
I still feel the same
How am I supposed to feel
I feel like nothing is real
You've brought me
You've brought me down to my knees
And now you tell me that you're leaving
You never gave a reason
I should've known right from the start
Cause that's just how you are
Now that I've made you a line in a song
I have to tell you that I'm moving on
I'm better off than I was before
I know you want me to settle the score
But my words for you
Aren't worth wasting my breath
With my heart in your hands
You've crushed it to death
And now that you've killed me
Will you wash your hands free of this blood today
I still feel the same
How am I supposed to feel
I feel like nothing is real
You've brought me
You've brought me down to my knees
And now you tell me that you're leaving
You never gave a reason
I should've known right from the start
Cause that's just how you are
How you are
Of all the things I know
And the feelings I've shown
It never seems to add up
And it doesn't even matter now
And the day we stepped apart
You wanted to be so far from me
It's always been what you wanted
How am I supposed to feel
I feel like nothing is real
You've brought me
You've brought me down to my knees
And now you tell me that you're leaving
You never gave a reason
I should've known right from the start
Cause that's just how you are
How you are
The lyrics of Hollow Point Heroes's song "Over from the Start" speak of heartbreak, betrayal, and moving on from a toxic relationship. The opening lines of the song center around the pain of having one's heart crushed and the treachery of being lied to right from the start. The singer is unable to let go of the memory of the day they met and how they thought it would never lead to regret. The imagery of a bursting heart, with bloody fists dripping, suggests a visceral and violent end to the relationship.
The chorus of the song captures the numbness and confusion that often accompany heartbreak. The singer wonders how they are supposed to feel when everything they thought was real has dissolved into nothingness. The repeated phrase, "You never gave a reason," highlights the sense of betrayal and lack of closure that comes with the end of a relationship. The final lines of the chorus express regret at not seeing the signs of trouble from the very beginning.
The second verse of the song continues to describe the aftermath of the relationship, with the singer declaring that they have moved on and are better off without the toxic partner. The final lines express an attitude of indifference towards the past and a desire not to waste any more energy on the ex-partner. The last verse hints at a sense of resignation and acceptance of the fact that the ex-partner always wanted to be far away from the singer.
Overall, "Over from the Start" is a powerful and relatable song about the pain of heartbreak and the process of moving on. It speaks to anyone who has been lied to or betrayed by someone they thought they could trust.

I can't get past
The first day we met
The memory of our first meeting is stuck in my mind, and I can't move on from it.
I thought I was something I'd never regret
At the time, I believed that being with you was going to be the best decision I ever made - but now I realize I was wrong.
And it's heart breaking
What you meant to me
Squeezing this heart as it burst in your fist
Bloody dripping blood
From your finger tips
The pain of losing you is so intense that it feels physical, as though my heart is being crushed and bleeding out.
And now that you've killed me
Will you wash your hands free of this blood today
I still feel the same
Even though you've hurt me so badly, you're trying to walk away from this relationship without taking any responsibility for what you've done.
How am I supposed to feel
I feel like nothing is real
You've brought me
You've brought me down to my knees
And now you tell me that you're leaving
You never gave a reason
I should've known right from the start
Cause that's just how you are
I feel lost and confused, wondering what was real and what was just a lie. You've hurt me so much that I can't stand on my own two feet, but you're leaving anyway without giving any explanation. Deep down, I knew from the beginning that you were going to hurt me - it's just who you are.
Now that I've made you a line in a song
I have to tell you that I'm moving on
I'm better off than I was before
I know you want me to settle the score
But my words for you
Aren't worth wasting my breath
With my heart in your hands
You've crushed it to death
I've turned our relationship into a song, but that's all you'll ever be to me now. I'm done living in the past and dealing with the pain you caused - I'm moving on to a better future without you. You may want me to fight back and make you pay for what you did, but I know that my words won't make a difference. You've hurt me too much, and now my heart is dead because of you.
Of all the things I know
And the feelings I've shown
It never seems to add up
And it doesn't even matter now
And the day we stepped apart
You wanted to be so far from me
It's always been what you wanted
Looking back on our relationship, everything seems so confusing and contradictory. None of our emotions or actions ever made sense, and now it doesn't matter anyway because we're over. The day we broke up, you were eager to put as much distance between us as possible - which is what you've always wanted.
How am I supposed to feel
I feel like nothing is real
You've brought me
You've brought me down to my knees
And now you tell me that you're leaving
You never gave a reason
I should've known right from the start
Cause that's just how you are
How you are
Repeating the chorus, the singer emphasizes that they are still confused and heartbroken. They feel like they're living in a world where nothing is real, and they're unable to stand up for themselves against the person who's hurt them so much. Even though they should have seen the signs from the beginning, it's hard to accept that there was nothing they could do to stop this from happening - because that's just who their partner is.
