Hollow Rain
Zonata Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I reach for the end an act of no faith
I see future been set
My childhood a link to regret
I roam in darkness
A sign from my past
Closing the rest
My mind is healing with the time
New seasons will come harvest of pain
Every sin the last one will gain
The air seems cold but I never change
I roam in darkness
A sign from my past
Losing my freedom
Closing the rest
In Zonata’s song Hollow Rain, the lyrics paint a picture of a person who is struggling with their past and the mistakes they have made. The rain falling down represents the heavy burden weighing on their shoulders. They acknowledge that they have no faith left in themselves, as they reach for an end that seems unreachable. The mention of their childhood being a link to regret suggests that their past experiences have had a significant impact on their current state of mind. They feel trapped in darkness and the signs from their past are a constant reminder of their mistakes. They have lost their freedom and are closing themselves off from the rest of the world.
However, there is a glimmer of hope in the lyrics. Time is healing their mind, which suggests that they are actively trying to move on from their past. They acknowledge that new seasons of pain will come along, but they will persevere. Every sin they commit will be the last one they make; they will learn from their past mistakes. The air may seem cold but they will not change who they are. The chorus repeats the same lines, “I roam in darkness, a sign from my past, losing my freedom, closing the rest” emphasizing the weight of their struggles.
