The song is about the process of writing a song.
The band members are stuck and do not know what to write.
The tried a lot but it's not working, every time they have to start over again.
"And then you cut
You cut it out
And everything
Goes back to the beginning"
Every band member is working on their own
and when they come together
the texts they wrote individually are regarded as 'hollow talk'
meaning nothing
they want to do better
but each of them fear the opinion of the other members
"Never said it was good, never said it was near
Shadow rises and you are here"
They need to learn how to trust each other.
