Hollow Echoes by The Broken Road captures the heart-wrenching feeling of being stuck and hollow. The song narrates a journey out west in search of oneself, resulting in the loss of loved ones and a dependency on medication to feel normal. Despite the deep loneliness and the negativity sapping away all positivity, there's a glimmer of hope in the undying pulse and the resolve to not let this darkness define one's legacy.
Verse 1:
Running to the west
To find who I am
Left behind the rest
Lost love, drifting sand
The city feels so hollow
Don't know who I am
Taken by the shallow
Lost my only plan
Pre-Chorus:
I know that I am loved
But I can't shake this tone
Every night I cry alone
My heart turned to stone
Chorus:
Medicated just to feel
Some semblance of what's real
Lie to myself every day
Saying I will find my way
All my joy, it’s washed away
In this city, dark and gray
But as long as I have a pulse
I won't let this be my end
Verse 2:
Negativity surrounds me
Drains the light within
In this place that drowns me
Lost my closest kin
Even at my lowest
More depressed than ever known
Holding onto moments
Where I remember home
Bridge:
Staring at the skyline
It offers no relief
But somewhere in this darkness
I hold onto belief
Pre-Chorus:
I know that I am loved
But I can't shake this tone
Every night I cry alone
My heart turned to stone
Chorus:
Medicated just to feel
Some semblance of what's real
Lie to myself every day
Saying I will find my way
All my joy, it’s washed away
In this city, dark and gray
But as long as I have a pulse
I won't let this be my end
Outro:
Hope flickers like an ember
In this world turned to dust
I won’t be another number
To the city’s cruel gust
As long as my heart's still beating
As long as I can breathe
I’ll fight to keep on standing
Refuse to let it define me
Hollow echoes fade to night
But I'll reclaim my light
Chords not available
Beat not available
Feeling stuck and hollow. I ran away out west to find myself and lost everyone I loved along the way. Even though I know I'm loved I feel alone. I've become dependent on my medication just to feel normal. I lie to myself and say I'm going to figure this out. I feel as though all the positivity I emit has been sucked away by this god awful city. And even though I'm at my lowest point and feel more depressed than I ever have, I find hope in the fact that I still have a pulse and refuse to let this define my legacy
