Hollow (feat. Marshall Lichtenwaldt)

Parkway Drive

Lies!

My truth has been revealed
At the cost of everything I knew
My last safe haven falls behind me
With the self that once consumed

Into the void
I'm pursuing only answers
I'm shedding skins and faces
Past loves and bitter hatreds

And it has come to pass
A path set in stone now breaks like glass
The failings of yesterday
Become the catalyst to seek my change

And it has come to pass
A path set in stone now breaks like glass
The failings of yesterday
Become my catalyst

So here I stand
A stranger to my new-found freedom
I am a vessel
I am a vessel without destination
Devoid of direction

No roles define me
Yet conflict embraces me
At the mercy of lucidity
I am adrift in a world all too real

A hollow man

Into the arms of eternal struggle
I must condemn
My restless mind
I must condemn
My restless mind

And it has come to pass
A path set in stone now breaks like glass
The failings of yesterday
Become my catalyst to seek my change

And it has come to pass
A path set in stone now breaks like glass
The failings of yesterday
Become my catalyst

I seek the guidance gained from silence
Illumination from within the darkness
My council kept with the emptiness
In the heart of the unknown

    I think it's about not knowing what to do with your life or having your life dramatically change. Sick song.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
