Hollow
The Friday Night Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

IT's no big deal
I wanted you but you don't feel the same
I'm over you
I'll tell myself til I forget your name
That I'm the best that you'll never have
IT's a chain
That I can't face that
I guess you're no heart breaker
Give it up
You're never gonne give me
Stop pretending
I tell myself
We're looking in the mirror
They say and walk away
'Cause you're no heart breaker
No matter what they say
Call you four times
But she was busy leaving me behind
So obvious
That she's got plans with someone else tonight
And it just huts all over again
That she was never mine
I guess your no heart breaker
Give it up you're never gonna get her
Stop pretending
I tell myself we're looking in the mirror
They say and walk away
'Cause you're no heart breaker
No matter what they
The truth is I
Will never be the same
And all this time
I thought that she would change
The memory remains
And I just feel so hollow
So hollow
I guess you're no heart breaker
Give it up
So give it up!
You're no heart breaker
Give it up you're never gonna get her
Stop pretending
I tell myself we're looking in the mirror
They say and walk away
You're no heart breaker
No matter what they say
No heart breaker
Stop pretending
I tell myself we're looking in the mirror
They say and walk away
You're no heart breaker




No matter what they say
You're no heart breaker

Overall Meaning

The Friday Night Boys' "Hollow" is a catchy pop-punk anthem with lyrics that lament a lost love. The singer acknowledges that he was interested in someone who didn't reciprocate his feelings, and he tries to move on by convincing himself that he's "over" her. He resents the fact that she's making plans with someone else, and he feels hurt all over again. Despite all this, the singer seems to cling to the idea that the object of his affections isn't really a "heartbreaker." He tries to convince himself that he's better off without her, and that she's not worth his time.


The song seems to capture the pain of unrequited love and the difficulty of moving on from someone who doesn't feel the same way. The chorus repeats the line "you're no heartbreaker" as if the singer is trying to convince himself that he is better off without this person. However, the final lines of the song suggest that he still feels hollow and consumed by the memory of this lost love.


Overall, "Hollow" is a relatable song for anyone who has ever struggled with unrequited feelings or a broken heart. It's a catchy tune with honest lyrics that capture the pain of letting go and moving on.
