Discover the story of the song > Hollow – Alex G

The protagonist is warning someone not to make a mistake by going on a trip and letting them down. They are aware of their own emptiness and want to keep their pinwheel spinning to distract themselves. The protagonist tells the other person to go away and not to talk too much, as it will only hurt them. They acknowledge that they are hollow and cannot change that. The fish symbolizes something that can't be fixed, but the protagonist still knows the person and understands how much they want to stay.
