Hollow
Mr.Kitty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When hearts collide
The blood will flow
To end the pain
I'll let you go

How is it I know
Where you've gone
For so long
Hollow is my ghost
That will haunt
What you've done

Into the light
We'll rust to dust
Clarity feels
As clear as us

How is it I know
Where you've gone
For so long
Hollow is my ghost




That will haunt
What you've done

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in the song 'Hollow' by Mr.Kitty deal with themes of heartbreak, letting go, and moving on. The first stanza talks about how when two hearts collide, there is bound to be bloodshed and pain. The singer acknowledges this and says that to end the pain, they will let their lover go. There is a sense of acceptance and resignation in these lines, as the singer realizes that sometimes, leaving someone is the best thing for both parties.


The second stanza talks about the aftermath of the breakup. The singer's ghost (or memories) is hollow, and it will haunt their lover for what they have done. The lines "How is it I know where you've gone for so long" suggest that the singer has been aware of their lover's transgressions for some time, but has chosen to ignore them. Now that they have broken up, the singer's ghost will haunt their lover, making them face the consequences of their actions. The final lines of the song talk about moving on and finding clarity. The singer says that they will rust to dust (die) and that clarity feels clear as us (meaning that they have finally found clarity and acceptance in the breakup).

Well I'm not used to talking about my life but now I feel I cannot stop
I saw a man and I thought he had my face I heard a preacher and I thought he had my voice
Up on a train since the moment I opened my eyes sometimes I'm sure I've seen this place again but deep in my Heart there's some courage and some hope and certainty that these rails will never end
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Well here I stand in the center of the scene with all the lights pointing right in my head
But in the dark there's a man that can't be seen holding a gun with all the power of his hand


The show is over and the applause pricks my ear the hall is empty and the man is getting bigger
He closes his eyes but serenity is gone he laughs at me and at once he pulls the trigger
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Now as I lay dead upon the floor I know my name will never be forgotten
I see that train getting lost inside the smoke and my body being fresh instead of rotten
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore
