Song Reflections: Alice in Chains “Hollow”

You know nobody’s looking, nobody will know.

Can you fight off the temptations and take the high road?

For example, bullies are not happy people. They are taking it out on somebody who seems weaker. Somebody who doesn’t, won’t fight back.

But when you sit in a quiet place — how do you feel about it? Don’t you feel… hollow?

We have all done something we’re not proud of. Stuff that you’d rather keep hidden.

But they will sit there, creating hollowness, until you dig them out.
