Holloway
Wildcat! Wildcat! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a hell at heart in between the doors of all the shame
Come and rescue me, we can leave this place
I can hear you calling, saying
Hey love, hey love, hey love
(Hold your head high)
Hey love, hey love, hey love
(Hold your head high)
Hey love, love
It's a heavy heart that can pull me
Down an endless road to a place that's never far away
Come and rescue me from the shadows of the Holloway
They can hear us calling
I can hear you calling
I can hear you calling
I can hear you calling out
The lyrics to 'Holloway', by Wildcat! Wildcat!, convey a sense of feeling trapped and lost within a town called Holloway. The town is described as a 'hell at heart', a place that is full of shame and darkness. The singer pleads for rescue, asking someone to come and take them away from this misery. The repetitive use of 'hey love' suggests that the singer is addressing someone they have a close relationship with, perhaps a lover or a friend. The lyrics are melancholic, but the refrain of 'hold your head high' seems to suggest that there is still hope, and that the singer is looking for a way out of their pain and despair.
The imagery used in the lyrics creates a vivid picture of a place that is dark and suffocating. The 'doors of all the shame' evokes a sense of secret darkness and hidden pain. The use of the word 'rescue' highlights the urgency of the situation, conveying a sense that the singer is in danger or in need of immediate help. The repetition of 'I can hear you calling' creates a sense of urgency and desperation, as if the singer is crying out for help and hoping that someone will hear them.
