Cover art for Hollow lyrics by Breaking Benjamin

The song to me is about a relationship with a lot of conflict. The girl wants to run from all the troubles the relationship causes but the guy wants her to stay and try.

Close your eyes Drive away the cloud that hides the light And leave the pain behind Dead alive Find a way to bury all the lies Escape the pain inside ‘Cause I don’t want to fall Or let you go

To me, I feel like he's saying... let go of what's bothering you, just find a way, because I don't want you to leave me and I don't want to have to let you go

Love left me hollow I’m with you in the end Cold, crippled, and shallow Don’t leave me here again I can’t go on You are bound to break me in I come undone Don’t you drag me down again

Then I feel like he's being firm with the girl and almost treating her like property. I picture him pointing his finger and firmly telling her "don't leave me here again". He also goes to tell her she was bringing him down and he tells her basically to not drag him down or do that again.

"I come undone" ---> it's like him telling her she drives him crazy. When you really love someone you do some crazy stuff for them and when things aren't working out the way you want them to, it drives you nuts and pisses you off, hence you come undone. And he's hollow without her... but he'll always be there for her. "I’m with you in the end"
