Holes Lyrics
There's three in the wall from those pictures in the closet
Two in the bedroom from that night I lost it
and one deep inside me determined to stay
They don't get any bigger but they don't go away
Holes in and around me I keep falling back into
Holes dig in and surround me
God knows what I'm gonna do
To fill in these holes left by you
Left by you
I pour drink after drink but nothing hit bottom
I've been on my knees admitted my problems
The love that we made still barely an echo
I'll try anything in these vacant hollow
Holes in and around me I keep falling back into
Holes dig in and surround me
God knows what I'm gonna do
To fill in these holes left by you
Left by you
There's two through my hands and one through my feet
From this cross that I bare to the day that I see
Its guilt and its blame, its shame and its love
Seeking the truth, I dug them myself
Ohhh these Holes dig in and surround me
God knows what I'm gonna do
To fill in these holes left by you
Left by you
Left By you
Left By you
Two in the bedroom from that night I lost it
and one deep inside me determined to stay
They don't get any bigger but they don't go away
Holes in and around me I keep falling back into
Holes dig in and surround me
God knows what I'm gonna do
To fill in these holes left by you
Left by you
I've been on my knees admitted my problems
The love that we made still barely an echo
I'll try anything in these vacant hollow
Holes dig in and surround me
God knows what I'm gonna do
To fill in these holes left by you
Left by you
From this cross that I bare to the day that I see
Its guilt and its blame, its shame and its love
Seeking the truth, I dug them myself
God knows what I'm gonna do
To fill in these holes left by you
Left by you

This song bothers me for one thing. In the lines "There's two through my hands and one through my feet/ From this cross that I bare to the day that I see" - it seems to me that he's comparing his guilt and shame (that he well deserved after treating this girl poorly) to crucifiction. And he realizes that the guilt he has comes from his unwise actions. It seems like he is comparing his sorrow of losing this girl (which was his fault as he realizes) to crucifiction. It is a disturbing analogy- if my theory is correct.
i get what you're saying, but I also think that he's not comparing himself to Jesus or comparing his guilt to the His crucifixion. I think think he's just using it as a metaphor to show that he's really sorry and wants her to grasp what he's actually saying.

FromtheFifties, I think this song is about a relationship that went bad, he loved her so much and she left him, andnow there are holes from pictures punching the wall and a hole in his broken heart that won't go away. becasue he has such a deep love for her.
"There's three in the HALL from those pictures in the closet" = He put three pictures of his ex girlfriend into the closet, so only the holes from the nails are left where they used to hang.

"Two in the bedroom from that night I lost it" = He smashed two pictures in the bedroom when he lost it. I don´t think he actually punched holes into the wall. That would be really painful.
