Overall Meaning

Montell Fish's song "Hollow Lover" is a haunting melody that seems to be about someone who is in love with an illusion. The singer repeats the phrase "You're beautiful, my love" throughout the song, which could refer to a lover, but also could be an acknowledgement of the beauty that exists within an abstract concept. The chorus invites the object of the singer's affection to dance with them, suggesting a desire for intimacy, but also a fear of being alone. The repetition of "All I need" emphasizes this need for connection and companionship.


The second half of the song takes a darker turn, as the singer addresses someone who may not even exist. By asking "If you are a ghost, then please let me know," the singer is seeking some sort of confirmation or validation from an entity that may not be real. The repetition of this line adds to the haunting atmosphere of the song. The final repetition of "You're beautiful, my love" could be interpreted as a bittersweet farewell to this imaginary lover, or a final confirmation of the singer's own ability to see beauty in even the most elusive of places.

this is the type of music I wanna listen to sitting in the middle of the forest, laying on a giant rock with the sound of the breeze and trees swishing from side to side while I lay with my eyes closed.
