Cover art for Hollywood lyrics by Cranberries, The

This song has can be understood differently, depending on your mood, age, height. Let me say about how and what I felt. When she states tag this is not hollywood,. It means that life has its own twists, life can be disappointing, when comparing expectations vs reality. The song can be about the end of a relation, in two forms, either breaking up or either due to death. Anyway, the only thing that remains is the picture, memories. When she says about pictures that she has to return and the shoots, probably it's about the nails used to hang the pictures, and when removed, it looks like that someone has shot the walls, the injuries will remain. The hard feeling regarding the end of a relation, either due to breakup or death is something that is so hard to swallow, a lot of anger has been used In dolores'' voice. The other person didn't have to leave but left.
