Hollow Years Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Upinthesky 

Cover art for Hollow Years lyrics by Dream Theater

I would have to agree with the assumption that it is about the break up of a family. Once the cloud thats raining over your head disappears, the noise that youll hear is the crashing down of hollow years. it has to refer to when all pretence is gone and all the pointless struggling ceases you see the waste of those years.
