Hollow Inside
Suburban Tribe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not pointing fingers
No it's nobody's fault
You can take my pride
If I can keep the dog
Won't wag my tail
I'm not wetting the lawn
The end to grief and sorrow
Over now
For us there's no tomorrow
Over now
I feel I'm growing hollow inside
I feel I'm growing hollow inside
We always reached for so much more
It was wasted trying to
Settle the score
Now that hope is lost
And i've gone astray
You took my most precious feeling away
The song “Hollow Inside” by Suburban Tribe conveys emotions of regret and loss, as the lyrics depict a person who is feeling empty and hollow despite having everything they desired once. The persona requests someone not to point fingers and close the door if they go, emphasising their desire for privacy and solitude. They also offer their pride in exchange for being able to keep the dog, implying that they still have something to hold on to despite their internal emptiness. The persona denies any desire to act excited (not wagging tail) or happy (not wetting the lawn), showing their inability to connect with the world around them.
The chorus of the song further emphasises their despairing feeling of hollowness inside. The persona suggests that there is no hope left for them as they have compromised on their aspirations and lost the love they held precious, leaving them astray in life. This sense of hopelessness reflects throughout the lyrics as the persona seems to be searching for something that can fill the void they feel within themselves.
Overall, “Hollow Inside” by Suburban Tribe is a thought-provoking song that depicts the pain of losing something we desire the most, leaving an emptiness behind that is challenging to fill.
Line by Line Meaning
If you go be sure to close the door
If you leave, make sure to shut the door
Not pointing fingers
Not blaming anyone
No it's nobody's fault
It's not anyone's fault
You can take my pride
You can make me lose my self-respect
If I can keep the dog
But if I can keep the one thing that brings me joy
Won't wag my tail
I won't show my happiness
I'm not wetting the lawn
I'm not showing any signs of celebration
It's over now
It's finished now
The end to grief and sorrow
The sadness and pain are over
Over now
It's over now
For us there's no tomorrow
There's no future for us
I feel I'm growing hollow inside
I feel empty and hollow
We always reached for so much more
We always wanted more
It was wasted trying to
It was a waste trying to
Settle the score
Resolve our differences
Now that hope is lost
Now that all hope is gone
And i've gone astray
And I've lost my way
You took my most precious feeling away
You took away my most valuable emotion
