Hollow Heart
To/Die/For Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Haunt me every day
A never healing wound
And nothing left to say
I die a little every day, I die a little anyway
For the memories, for Hell inside of me
No true emotions
No true devotion can live off bitterness
My hollow inside
My hollow heart
My restless soul is longing to depart
Come surround me with your grace
Wash away my deep disgrace
Take me in to your sweet embrace
Where I can live in sin
I die a little anyway,I die a little every day
For the memories, for Hell inside of me
No true emotions in my hollow heart
The lyrics of To/Die/For's song Hollow Heart convey the feelings of someone who is haunted by the memories of a loved one, unable to move on due to the pain caused by their absence. The opening lines "Memories of you, haunt me every day, a never healing wound, and nothing left to say" describes the unescapable nature of these memories, which have become a source of constant pain. The repetition of the phrase "I die a little every day" throughout the song further emphasizes his despair and the feeling of being stuck in a perpetual state of grief.
The lyrics also discuss the singer's emotional numbness and lack of true connection to their own feelings. Lines such as "no true emotions, no true regrets, no true devotion can live off bitterness" suggest that the singer is unable to fully experience or process their emotions, leading to a sense of emptiness and hollowness within them. They feel like they are trapped in their own bitterness, unable to escape the cycle of pain caused by their loss. The final lines "no true emotions in my hollow heart" reiterate this feeling of emptiness and lack of true emotional connection.
