The Hollow Heart

Описание: The Hollow Heart
A haunting, guitar-layered piano anthem about the spaces we leave behind. "The Hollow Heart" is a journey through a childhood park—now a landscape of rusted iron and fading memories—capturing the "smokey" introspection of returning to a place that no longer knows your name.
About the Song:
Blending the rhythmic drive of piano-rock with warm, atmospheric guitar textures, "The Hollow Heart" moves between quiet, vulnerable verses and a powerful, soaring chorus. It explores the tension between who we were as children and the "ghosts in familiar coats" we become as adults.
The sound draws inspiration from the melodic height of the Post-Britpop era, creating a cinematic experience that is both grand and deeply personal.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
The iron gate is painted red
But the rust is showing through
I remember things you said
When the sky was mostly blue
Now the gravel hits my shoes
Like a clock that’s running slow
I have everything to lose
In a place I used to know

[Pre-Chorus]
The light is getting thin
Where do I begin?

[Chorus]
And the swings go high and the ground stays low
Watching all the heavy shadows grow
It’s a hollow heart in a wooden frame
And the wind is trying to say my name
Oh, I’m just a ghost in a familiar coat
Keeping all the old words in my throat

[Verse 2]
There’s a circle in the dirt
Where the grass refused to stay
It’s a funny kind of hurt
When the colors turn to gray
I am standing on the line
Between the man and who I was
Trying to make the pieces mine
Just because, just because

[Chorus]
And the swings go high and the ground stays low
Watching all the heavy shadows grow
It’s a hollow heart in a wooden frame
And the wind is trying to say my name
Oh, I’m just a ghost in a familiar coat
Keeping all the old words in my throat

[Bridge]
I left a secret in the tree
But the bark has grown too thick to see
I’m waiting for the dark to fall
So I don’t feel so small
I don’t feel so small...

[Outro]
The red gate is locked
The red gate is locked
Just a ghost in a coat
Just a ghost...
[End]
