Hole In the Wall
Moses Gunn Collective Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found a hole in the wall
See me take, bending then I break it off
Now you're home for the fall
You're in, you're out, you're in, you're out again

I can't stop thinking of the hole in the wall
There's something wicked about the hole in the wall
You got me thinking around the hole in the wall
I'll just stay inside until I make my own goodbye

Leave your skin at the door
Make the hole in shapes and as it was before
Your head on the floor
You're in, you're out, you're in, you're out again

I can't stop thinking of the hole in the wall
There's something wicked about the hole in the wall
You got me thinking around the hole in the wall
I'll just stay inside until I make my own goodbye

I just wanna be whole
Never wanted to be for
I just wanna be whole
Never wanted to be for
I just wanna be an hour

I can't stop thinking of the hole in the wall
There's something wicked about the hole in the wall
You got me thinking around the hole in the wall
I'll just stay inside until I make my own goodbye
'Cause I'm thinking about the whole in the wall
There's something wicked about the hole in the wall




You got me thinking around the hole in the wall
I'll just stay inside until I make my own goodbye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Moses Gunn Collective's song Hole in the Wall express the feeling of being trapped and torn between two different worlds. The hole in the wall can be interpreted as a metaphor for a way out of this dilemma. The singer found a hole in the wall and now he’s trying to break free from his old patterns and habits, but it's not as easy as he thought it would be. He's struggling with the decision of whether to stay or leave, in and out again. He can't stop thinking about the hole in the wall and how it can change his life. There's something wicked about it, something that attracts him to it. However, he knows he needs to make his own goodbye and move on.


The lyrics also plead for wholeness and completeness. The singer wants to be whole and true to himself. He never wanted to be fake or live a life that was not his own. He just wants an hour to himself, a moment of clarity where he can decide what to do next. But until then, he will stay inside until he makes his own goodbye.

This song is like a hole in the wall, you may not think much of it when stumbling across it, but it turns out to be your favorite song.

I like how the song 🎧 sounds, but can someone please explain the deeper meaning of it to me,
or does it even have one? 1️⃣
Also, here’s a Bible verse about hole 😮 in a wall. 🟫
“Dig a hole 🕳️ through the wall while they are watching and go out through it.
As they watch, lift your pack to your shoulders and walk away into the night.” (- The LORD to his servant Ezekiel in what is now none as Ezekiel 12:5-6a.)

@gboted

I love you human beings.
