Hollow Hallelujah
Tyminski Lyrics

Haven't had much time for myself
I haven't had much time to take care of myself and focus on my own needs.

Let alone my friends
I haven't had time to spend with my friends either.

They love me in spite of me
Despite my flaws and imperfections, my friends still care for me deeply.

Thank God they're there
I feel grateful for their presence in my life.

Might be good for my health
Spending more time with friends could potentially benefit my well-being.

Another means to an end
It could serve as a way to achieve a desired outcome or goal.

Who the hell I'm I tryna be
I'm unsure of my identity and the kind of person I want to become.

And it ain't clear yet
I still haven't figured it out.

I keep pushing up against the wall
I keep facing challenges and obstacles without seeking different solutions.

Instead of looking for an open door
I'm not actively seeking alternative solutions or paths.

What the hell I'm I waiting for
I'm uncertain why I'm hesitant to change my approach or perspective.

Instead of falling to your knees
Rather than surrendering to my problems and taking responsibility for my actions.

Your crawling, blaming somebody else (Mmm.)
I'm putting the blame on others or outside factors rather than taking ownership of my choices.

You've been crying in the dark
I've been struggling with my problems and emotions alone.

Carrying that cross yourself (Mmm.)
I'm carrying my burdens and struggles on my own without asking for help.

And the pain it goes right through ya' (Mmm.)
My struggles and pain deeply affect me.

Instead of letting it sink into ya′
Instead of fully acknowledging and processing my emotions and issues.

And you never get there, do ya' (Mmm.)
I'm not making progress or finding resolution to my problems.

It’s just a Hollow Hallelujah
My expressions of faith or hope feel empty or meaningless.

I'm a worn out wheel
I feel exhausted and drained.

Spinning round and round
I feel stuck and like I'm not making any forward momentum.

I'm a real life runaway
I feel like I'm running from my problems or struggles.

Someone stop me now
I need someone or something to help me pause and reassess my situation.

When the pain I feel
When I experience emotional or physical pain.

Starts to wear me down
When it becomes too much for me to handle.

I keep rolling anyway
I keep pushing forward despite the challenges and pain I face.

And I don't know how
I'm unsure how much longer I can keep going or how to solve my issues.

Hit the floor
To kneel down in prayer or surrender.

Bow your head (Hollow hallelujah)
To show humility and respect in prayer, despite feeling a sense of emptiness or doubt.

Put your hands together by the side of your bed (Hollow hallelujah)
To show reverence or devotion in prayer, even if it feels hollow or lacking in meaning.

And just pray
To turn to a higher power or faith for guidance or support.

You're crawling, blaming somebody else (Mmm.)
I still haven't taken responsibility for my struggles or issues, and continue to put the blame elsewhere.

You′ve been crying in the dark
I've been struggling with my emotions and challenges alone without seeking help or support.

And the pain it goes right through ya' (Mmm.)
The struggles I face deeply affect me and my mental or emotional well-being.

Instead of letting it sink into ya′
I still haven't fully processed or acknowledged my emotions and issues.

And you never get there, do ya' (Mmm.)
I'm still not making progress or finding resolution to my problems.

It's just a Hollow Hallelujah
My expressions of faith or hope feel empty or meaningless.
