Into The Hollow Lyrics
Avoir, Adieu, Goodnight
I’m too wrong, to get right
But I cant wait forever
I’ve always been alone
A fool believes he’s clever
Don’t you wanna go into the Hollow ?
I won’t go it alone
Aren’t you gonna follow ?
I live behind my eyes
Be sure to keep the surprise
I break what I’ve already borrowed
That’s why I always go
alone into tomorrow
Don’t you wanna go into the Hollow ?
Don’t wanna go alone, aren’t you gonna follow ?
Into the Hollow
I’m too wrong, to get right
But I cant wait forever
I’ve always been alone
A fool believes he’s clever
Don’t you wanna go into the Hollow ?
I won’t go it alone
Aren’t you gonna follow ?
Be sure to keep the surprise
I break what I’ve already borrowed
That’s why I always go
alone into tomorrow
Don’t you wanna go into the Hollow ?
Don’t wanna go alone, aren’t you gonna follow ?

Hey, I think it's not Avoir, Adieu but Au revoir, adieu. Cause au revoir means good bye and avoir means to have. Au revoir makes more sense, eh?
Great song though, by the way :)
I think it's about oblivion. Both sexually and with drugs. He is impatient, unsatisfied and lonely - so why not go deep into erasing yourself as much as possible. "The Hollow" is a state where you can't remember or feel anymore, no matter how you get there. Loss of ego, loss of self.
Musically the coolest thing QOTSA do is make hard metal music that somehow sounds quiet. Can't figure out if it's the arrangement, the production, or just his voice having more melody and tenor than your usual hard rock singer. But this song is crazy, turn it up as loud as you like and it still has this "quiet" thing
Maybe...a song alluding to him & the wife (Queen Bee to his Baby Duck) tying the knot? I know it's spelled hollow, but he could've changed one of the letters to make the meaning less obvious (changing "hallow" to "hollow"). Plus hollow and follow rhyme better. Just a theory...
Definition of HALLOW transitive verb 1 : to make holy or set apart for holy use 2 : to respect greatly : venerate
Synonyms: consecrate, bless, sacralize, sanctify
It's about not being afraid. To see things with another perspective, "I live behind my eyes". We're all gonna die so what's the fuckin difference if you do something that you're not supposed to do. "A fool believes he's clever" And a fool doesnt do stuff. Queens are all about doing stuff. Check out the website "do stuff" and all that. Amazing idea
I think it's about getting what you want. It doesn't matter that she's are already done everything you want, but the true test of love (or ludicrous) is to go into hollow with you. Stupid bitch doesn't know in what she stumbled into, so lets see how far can too far go... I know I'm wrong, just gotta to get it out.. Sorry... I don't go alone into hollow
I always thought this song was about getting stoned. He's got so much going on that he can't deal with and he wants to run away to somewhere he knows is safe. Like taking the easy way out. Even without the getting high part it still works.
Great song, cool little guitar riff. I think its about going where your not supposed to go. Possibly death?
He's alone but he doesn't want to be. He breaks things and then moves on. He's not as clever as he thought he was.
The first couple of songs on this disc are about being different and taking risks, (I thought) and this is about this same person moving on to 'the hollow' or becoming hollow. (i.e. fake or empty) He's got nothing for himself because he's different and because he takes risks so that's what's motivating him to do whatever it is.
i agree with supermutant. i think he was alone for a long time, and now he wants to move on, but he´s a bit afraid (maybe) and doesn´t want to go alone... but maybe you´re right with fuckin´, a lot of qótsa songs are about this..
i have two versions of this i dno wich is the album version ones like softer
