d.p. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'me prends la tête pour des gens qui n'en valent pas la peine
Ceux qui donnent le plus c'est ceux qu'ont rien
J'regarde autour et je trouve pas de réponse
À l'intérieur j'ai beaucoup de démons
Ils me regardent tous les soirs quand je ferme les yeux
Ils veulent que manipuler mon destin
Oh la D., j'suis condamné à vivre
Je tendrai ma main pour ressentir l'espoir
Qu'on ressent quand on a plus grand chose à se dire
Regarde le ciel il te donnera des réponses
Rallume la flamme et te pose pas de question
Le cœur d'un hollow, le cœur d'un hollow
C'est quoi c'est juste le cœur d'un homme qui fait dodo, oh
J'ai peur de ce que je deviens (j'ai peur de ce que je deviens)
Moi, j'ai peur de ce que je retiens
Car dans cette vie j'veux pas finir solo (j'veux pas finir solo)
J'ai le cœur vide, j'ai le cœur d'un hollow
Oh, les coups durs assombrissent mon esprit
Quand le cœur est touché, il est pas qu'effleuré
Le jeu des sentiments c'est pas d'l'escrime
Combien j'estime, Dieu, mais à qui je destine ma confiance
Lui il t'aime pas il fait style, t'aime pour ton textile, j'vis d'méfiance
Les relations basées sur l'intérêt, la loyauté est accordé par intérim
Si l'amour d'vait s'exprimer, bah moi j'me tairai
Une carapace émotionnelle que j'enterre et j'fais parti d'ces gens terribles
J'sais plus si l'amour j'le mérite, je prie pour que personne ne rite
J'ai trou dans ma poitrine, la musique de l'amour
Pas un jour je crois qu'j'en connais plus les rimes
D. Ace
J'ai peur de ce que je deviens (j'ai peur de ce que je deviens)
Moi, j'ai peur de ce que je retiens
Car dans cette vie j'veux pas finir solo (cette vie, j'veux pas finir solo)
J'ai le cœur vide, j'ai le cœur d'un hollow
J'ai peur de ce que je deviens (j'ai peur de ce que je deviens)
Moi, j'ai peur de ce que je retiens
Car dans cette vie j'veux pas finir solo (cette vie, j'veux pas finir solo)
J'ai le cœur vide, j'ai le cœur d'un hollow
In "Hollow," D.P. sings about his inner conflicts and the uncertainty he feels in his life. He starts the song by declaring that he is alert to the changes around him and is willing to adapt to the unknown path, shutting out the passions that compel him to do wrong, yet he knows that the marks they leave behind will not go away quickly. Furthermore, he reveals that his lack of faith has hurt him to the core and drained him of his vitality. He feels that he is infected by the spirit of uncertainty and that it lingers within him regardless of whether he is with or without his loved ones.
In the chorus, D.P. seems to be seeking a purpose for his struggles. He wonders why he must face the emptiness within him and what it will bring. He refers to this question as the "season of hollow soul," and he recognizes that the ground they all walk on, which is also affected by his decisions, responds in strange ways, feeding into his emptiness. He then repeats these lines multiple, emphasizing that he is searching for a reason that justifies the pain he is experiencing.
Line by Line Meaning
Keen to the shifting wind
I am acutely aware of the ever-changing circumstances of life
I bend to it blind
I am willing to adapt without knowing exactly what lies ahead
To rid these kisses of sin
I desire to cleanse myself of past mistakes and regrets
That must stay behind
Although I wish to move on, I know that some things cannot be undone
Sour the fruit of neglect
Neglect has caused the experiences in my life to become bitter
The core of my doubt
My uncertainty about the future is at the center of my struggles
Deprived are my veins you infect
You have drained me of my emotional vitality and left a lasting impact
With or without
Regardless of your presence or absence, I am left to face my challenges alone
Fate must have a reason
I have faith that everything happens for a purpose, even if it is not always clear
Why else endure the season
If there is no greater meaning, then what is the point of experiencing hardships
Of hollow soul
I feel empty and purposeless, like something vital is missing
The ground on which we leave on
The foundation upon which our lives are built is constantly shifting and changing
How strangely fuels the season
Paradoxically, the difficulties we face in life only seem to strengthen us
Seed of uprooted chance
Possibilities that were once within reach have been taken away by circumstance
Are grains of goodbye
Each missed opportunity represents a farewell to a potential future
Waving boughs so slowly dance
The natural world moves in its own rhythm, regardless of our struggles and concerns
And questioning why
Despite our confusion and uncertainty, we continue to seek answers
La la la la, la la, la la la la, la la la
The repetition of this phrase represents the constant, ongoing nature of our struggles
