Hollow Heart

by Sally Ann

/

about

Do you remember when you were a teething teenager, ambitious to take a bite out of adulthood liberty? 'Hollow Heart' is an enigmatic, eerie-lullaby about the loss of innocence. You are awakened by the temptations of the world, uncertain of what would happen. It's your first time getting tipsy, dancing all night, falling in love... you trust them: the others. Suddenly, you feel like it's playtime again. But the night ends, and what's left tomorrow are strips of a purity you are forced to forget.

lyrics

Verse 1:

Night comes and steals me away
I don’t know how, I don’t know where I will go
Strip me from all that I know and I started to float
All of these clouds are so cold

Far from my land to unknown
Stars in their eyes, Sipping on glass fireflies
Words make no sense where this world is formed
Waltzing with galaxies, I’m in the midst of a ball


Pre-Chorus 1:

I won’t know where my heart would go
I only know its soul


Chorus 1:

Hurt Her Here
Take a seat dear
Everything’s gonna be fine

Hurt Her Here
Take a sip from my wine glass

Hurt Her Here
Dance all you want
The Night is Young

Hurt Her Here
Put on your mask
Cut your heart


Verse 2

Ah, I better hold on
Ah, I wish to hold on

Drifting through dreams I let go
Fantasies I drew, Out of the lines I knew
Milked hazy milky ways dry
What’s left that’s out there that isn’t and truly a lie?

Pre-chorus 2:

I don’t know where my heart has gone
I only knew its soul

Chorus 2:

Hurt Her Here
What is another?
What more harm can you do?
Hurt Her Here
What have I become?


Bridge:

Oh
Innocence is lost
And the world blows
Cold
It’s too late, it’s too late to cry
Let me go, back to the arms I knew, not this stranger
This place is cruel, they hunger
For your time and, For your money, For your heart and soul Oh
It’s too late, It’s too late, don’t you cry
Babe you’re a supernova, don’t you ever give in
Don’t let them get me


Chorus 3:

Twinkle with my soul, that’s a blow, its diamond eyes cold to the core
There I saw my heart crushing in its hands I could not have pried apart
Twinkle with my soul, bent so low, paid my dues, now I don’t belong
Wake me from their grip, Bring me back to, Where I will not be own

Twinkle with my soul, lost control, flew too close, Icarus she burnt
Mother nature cried, Father couldn’t fight every little last disguised
Twinkle with my soul, let me go, ash of her feathers in my eyes
Wake me from their grip, Bring me back to where I will not be

Ah, I better hold on
Ah, I wish to
Hold on

about

Sally Ann image

Sally Ann Paris, France

Music has always been my escapism from harsh realities. I used to battle incessantly with a series of 'colourful diagnoses'.

But now, as an emancipated artist armed with the voice I fought for, I write songs that muse on the philosophy of life and spin experiences with trials and tribulations over darkness into rhapsodic stories.

In hopes to shine a light on the shadows that try to over-tower. ... more
