about

‘Hollow’ is a cathartic release that explores themes of loss, vulnerability, and internal fracture. Weaving together haunting vocals, atmospheric guitar work and ethereal strings, the track carries a unique and fresh sound, while also paying homage to the 90's Dream-Pop/Alt-rock scene.

“The song reflects on the aftermath of investing too much into something that was never meant to be meaningful, such as a one-night stand. More than a cliche unrequited love story, I rather think of it as a broader reflection of the human experience. As someone who has been living abroad for a while, I think I was just drawing from my own experiences to express that internal fracture that many people like me face at some point in their journey.”

lyrics

Do you know how it feels
The moment you walk out the room?
Memories climb up my bed
And my self esteem fades away

Have you ever felt this hollow
Having nothing left to say?
Have you ever felt this hollow
The minute you walk away?

Open the window
Let the September breeze in
Your sweet strawberry lipstick scent
Abandoned to the outside


Have you ever felt this hollow
Having nothing left to say?
Have you ever felt this hollow
The minute you walk away

I don’t have anything to give you
Or at least that’s what you’ll say
Have you ever felt this hollow
Knowing no one’s here to stay?

Stay here tonight
Stay here tonight
Stay now
Stay here
