<… Read Full Bio ↴A multimedia artist, filmmaker and musician who hails from Jersey, NJ.
Between mixtapes, producing, contemporary art pieces and flight hopping from state to state Yeek has finally been able to drop his first solo music video which he directed and edited himself.
I would probably describe my style as 'imaginative'. My main influences come from cartoon style illustrations, funk music, & the 90s hip-hop culture & 90s hardcore American punk culture. I would have to say the major difference between LA & Florida is that the people are meaner in Florida & that helped me grow as person. I was born in Jersey City, raised in Florida." - YEEK
Hollow Point
YEEK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's why I can′t stop hiding from you, oh girl
Oh girl
That's it, I'm calling it quits
You shot me down, feels like hollow tips
My health is bad, I′ve been eating like shit
But you′re the real reason I'm sick
Baby, don't you know I love you?
That′s why I can't stop hiding from you, oh girl
Oh girl
You feel like summer in the 60s
We got high & listened to the Pixies
Where′s my mind?
You make me lose it all the time
Baby, don't you know I love you?
That's why I can′t stop hiding from you, oh girl
Oh girl
The lyrics of YEEK's song "Hollow Point" speak about a person's love for someone else who has hurt them emotionally. The singer's feelings towards this person are evident as he asks "Baby, don't you know I love you?". However, despite these feelings, he is unable to confront this person, leading him to hide from them.
The song later reveals that the singer has decided to end the relationship as he feels shot down like "hollow tips". He confesses that his health has been failing and he has been eating poorly, but ultimately the real reason is his emotional state caused by this person. The nostalgia of happier times is also shared in the song's mention of summers in the 60s and listening to The Pixies, but these moments are overshadowed by the emotional turmoil caused by the other person.
Overall, "Hollow Point" captures the pain and confusion of unrequited love, and the difficulty of balancing one's personal health and well-being with the desire to hold onto someone who has caused emotional harm.
