Jon Bryant – Hollow

Beautiful and calm folk song by Jon Bryant

Artist about the track:

“This song is about hitting rock bottom,” says Jon. “It’s the feeling of hopelessness that I’ve felt at certain times in my life. It forces my hand to make a change and gain some perspective. I wrote ‘Hollow’ after about a month in quarantine, and I hit that point again. I remember thinking about a day on tour, sitting in a motel bed, with the sound of sirens and loud neighbours filling my head. I had just finished playing a depressingly awful show and I was trying to fill the sadness with any hit of dopamine that would put me back on track. That was the inspiration for this song.”

LYRICS:

Dusty lines
Cover me on the floor
Hit the lights
(But) don’t let me close the door
Wide awake
Coffee in cold motels
(Dont let me shut my eyes)
I’m afraid
I wanna be someone else
And I think of all the lives I’ll never live
And I feel so
Hollow
and I would fill the void with anything
Cuz I feel so
Hollow
4 am
Scrolling through empty screens
Heard a voice
Say “nothing is what it seems”
(Don’t shut me out)
And I think of all the lives I’ll never live
And I feel so
Hollow
But I can’t fill the void with anything
Cuz I feel so
Hollow
Silence wanders thru my empty room
Like headlight shadows on the ceiling tiles
I'm still learning how to still my focus
It’s not hopeless?
But then I think of all the lives I’ll never live
And I feel so
Hollow
No I can't sleep without the sedatives
Cuz I feel so
Hollow
When I think of all the lives I’ll never live
Ya I feel so
Hollow
No I can’t fill the void with anything
And I feel so
Hollow
