hollow
ive been so empty with out you
id follow you to the grave if you asked me
theres something bout how you see the world
and all its been through its beauty never leaves ur side
Sweet thing you know I'm following
Your eyes, your eyes
Morning never looked so bright
'fore you were mine
you were mine
This hollow heart I dug
For you to step inside
Hoping you'd stay the night
Hoping you'd treat me right
oooh you were mine
hollow

To take all of your pain
To me its all the same
Just tell me what to say
Youve flown far
Forgot about the past
You think youre gonna crack

The lyrics of slenderbodies' song "Hollow" express a deep longing for a lost love. The singer's heart is empty without this person and they would do anything to have them back in their life. The phrase "slip back in my heart" is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the desire for the person to return to their life. The singer is aware of the beauty in the world and how their lost love saw it, and this makes their absence all the more painful.
The chorus of the song repeats the word "hollow" as a metaphor for the emptiness the singer feels. They've dug a hollow heart for their love to step into and hope they will stay the night and treat them right. The repetition of the word "hollow" creates a sense of yearning and sadness.
The bridge of the song offers comfort to their lost love, assuring them that the singer is there to take away their pain and is willing to say whatever they need to hear. The final line of the song, "just slip back in my heart", calls back to the opening of the song and the singer's intense desire to have their lost love back in their life.
