A Perfect Circle - The Hollow - With lyrics

[@Sikahema1]

Love this song. Such a interesting use of 3/4 time. Maynard is genius with his lyrics and phrasing. He makes difficult words fit in with the timing of the song flawlessly, with that great voice of his.

[@angelofwar9223]

Such a beautiful song. This song here explains my childhood! Just listen to this amazing song wow

[@martajo9303]

Your childhood?! Excuse me? 🙈 You should read the lyrics again in my opinion 😄

[@michaeltveten8458]

No matter how “Humane” you think you are, there always exists that sexual “Pull” in you, that brings down to the level of animals. It’s intrinsic, and unavoidable.........And it also promotes our existence.

[@DakotaofRaptors]

What about asexuals?

[@michaeltveten8458]

Izaiah Florés Even in nature, there exists exceptions to rules.....But that doesn’t negate the fact of the “rule” for the majority.

[@DakotaofRaptors]

@@michaeltveten8458 I suppose so.

[@nukesdoom5114]

I know I'm necromancer but this shit hits hard for me. When you are a social outcast you don't have real outlets, and you just feel your body react to images on a screen to just make it through that urge or whatever. It kinda screams at you, just fuck your so close but it won't last long this emotional beastial high can't be compatible with reality anymore. Some people call it gooning, and they take lust of images seriously, federal glowing or not.

[@laurenjacques365]

I can relate to this so much i wanna cry 😩

[@Bubba524dtm]

No cap there. Preach.

[@safetycomfortjoy5142]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Besides what this song is talking about this song makes me think of the finest pieces of silver dipped in honey and bricks of gold holding up blue caviar.

[@DakotaofRaptors]

Gross

[@joschelei262]

WTF. So death gets you horny?

[@saberserpent1134]

Yeah, to me, this is covering any addiction. It's all the same, and it's never enough.

[@angelofwar9223]

One of my all time favorite songs right here!! The Hollow!!! ✌️ ✌️ ✌️

[@lillycloke1644]

Love this song

[@mistykohtakangas]

To me this song is about the ego, and narcissism... never enough.

[@michelkubrick747]

Love this Master peace!!!

[@ashkajioni]

I always thought it was a song about promiscuous sex. Seeking shallow comfort to deal with a lack of a genuine relationship with another. my 2 cents. :)

[@d.comptonambrose4422]

And how those who have neither are among the most dangerous, monstrous and unstoppable forces to be reckoned with on the entire planet, because they are unhindered by the usual day to day of being a human...

[@joschelei262]

The song is about Hell. And the immorality of mankind, the sin which feeds it.

[@raymckenna2485]

The hollow can never be filled unless one awakens to the fact that hollowness itself is filled with emptiness then the pointless pains of chasing desires can subside

[@notsomuchhere1387]

Ray Mckenna To be honest mine a was filled with God the only constant in my life

[@brockjohnson83]

Don't awaken, it's a sad and boring life.

[@EsotericHighway]

Not so much here God is fullness and the Source of Life. Chasing meaningless physical pleasure is hollow and void of any actual value.

[@exoticdelirium]

Lack of god freed me honestly. I am happy to be without god.

[@michaelleon5783]

its a great song

[@brianholmes6626]

wow wake up guys, this song represents dealing with a narcissist or sociapath in an intimate relationship

[@TheRealGijuk]

I spent a few years attached at the hip to what I thought was the love of my life. Literally all she did was lie to me and use me to make herself feel better about being a piece of shit. She had troubles of her own growing up so I feel a bit bad for her regardless of how ugly everything turned out. I eventually broke up with her and the dam burst. Life was filled with dread and pain as she slandered me left and right, constantly making up lies and belittling me as person- again to make herself feel validated. She made me think a child that was not mine totally was for almost 2 years, got a restraining order against me and got me locked up for 3 days by falsifying a report with the police and I thought my life was ruined, but then I found the best job of my life, made up with all of the friends and family I had previously unintentionally alienated because of her, and I couldn't be happier. I heard this song and Rose for the first time after all of this had occurred and they just really resonated with me and what had happened. She was definitely a socio/ psychopath/narcissist whatever you wanna call it and therefore I'm going to have to highly agree with you.

[@crowbear516]

Amir Frost We're in the age of the glorified victim. If you're not a victim, you're an evil narcissistic sociopath.

[@davidpolaczek3614]

Ya... the secret agent narcissist in all of us

[@brianholmes6626]

@@TheRealGijukBro, I was with a girl for around 5 years in total with the last 2 on and off. She had a kid in dec 2015 and had me convinced she was mine, 3 months after the baby was born she left without saying a word.found out later she went back to the guy that I guess is the father. It was rough but I discovered these songs at that time and it helped immensely to hear the very things I didn't know how to express. 🤙🎶🥃

[@brianholmes6626]

@Diy growing gardening and celebrating ededFor sure man 🤙

[@leinadeteredla3848]

Me recuerda cuando termine la universidad, gracias!

[@kaylayt]

Putting it on a new line makes it okay to capitalize. Song lyrics are written as poetry, and each line is typically (traditionally) capitalized. So in other words, no need for corrections. Just enjoy the video.

[@littlelizardpsycho5178]

2024...🔥🔥🔥

[@raymckenna2485]

The bottom line is nothing can fill the human void not sex, nor money nor any desires the only way out of the hollow is to become the void itself. Any thing or any no thing is a paradox

[@akumazusfusion8368]

I thought he said down for gravity passive flying glad that cleared that up

[@alex91840]

Am i literally the only person that hears "to and through the hollow conscience"

[@buckfuddy5561]

I can hear that.. I also hear “meddle all this indiscretion”..(not “bridle”)

[@buckfuddy5561]

And I guess technically either way could be used in the line you’re talking about

[@Aiso754]

I thought the one section was “So pull the needle through, dominoes of indiscretion down.”

[@theremedy9171]

Yes. Yes you are.

[@SpicyMcGeezaks]

@@buckfuddy5561 throttle all this indiscretion

[@DRTyD]

I understand what you're saying. I just think it looks better and communicates the lyrics better when full sentences aren't broken up into smaller incomplete sentences. I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

[@actionpssthead2979]

James Maynard Keenan is ....a wired weird dude awesome

[@MTKofin]

Excellent video, would you mind telling me what program you used to make this?

[@droptherapy2085]

for a second I thought you were talking about the music and I thought, "how can someone be so stupid?", but i'm sure he used something like premiere pro or sony vegas or something.

[@brian95240]

This song leaves you wanting more of its beauty. The hollow one is left with makes someone want to hear it again. Many could wonder if Maynard kept it short to also make that statement, with the song structure itself (a double entendre via symbolism).

[@johnmiller6104]

Roll the credits….

[@kilayas5022]

It's not about drugs actually its about a relationship that I. am currently in and when they're not around they make you feel hollow

[@marcusshackelford9730]

Screaming feed me here... for me this is about my relationship with my ex wife. Its deep. Smdh

[@pureintensions8235]

still tryin to fill my hollow

[@howardduplin3966]

Can't bring the fire down, I've tried

[@shanesmith817]

I heard a song one time and the lyrics sounded like “ trying not to leave the ground “ and I cannot find that song. It sounded like an apc song. Anyone got any info?

[@ami.13.]

Shane Smith if it’s older, could be “Gravity” or “Vanishing” from the 13th Step...if recent APC could be “Disillusioned”, or maybe “Leave the Ground” by Driftdivision ?

[@cge9]

está bien

[@michaelleon5783]

Someone can explain me what is the song about?

[@angelofwar9223]

Youthfulness, having a lot of energy and exciting things going on for u as a youngin 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

[@joschelei262]

The song is about Hell/ Sheol.

[@budwood7230]

It about fulfilling your sexual desires, when you lose it for a moment like thru drug abuse or what ever then you get it back , desire is the strongest thing there is. Its stronger than love cus you will go to the ends of the Earth for it when you come to yourself you realize love is far better and it's either in front of you

[@erinsmith3073]

peace out cub scout

[@retrosurfer76]

@madpanda4 the hunger can be hollow

[@williamguthrie8420]

my fiance' loves this song

[@trppytoes]

The song means whatever you want. I'm more than sure he had none of you in mind while writing this song. Anyways I just wanted to say run him like a blade! One must know that was a cold son of a bitch that first said that.

[@BETHMORNINGSTAR]

Do you see me now nina

[@DRTyD]

Good video. Except it drives me nuts when people don't use proper punctuation and caps. For instance, "Temporarily, Pacify this hungerin'" should be "Temporarily, (p)acify this hungerin'" since it's the same sentence "pacify" should begin in lowercase.

[@Yeefy]

Look at the amount of likes LOL

[@DebNKY]

It's about a p in a v to me. 😊

[@backjackwards6024]

Its about my ex.

[@christophermcavoy2530]

Wrong lyrics mate

[@ThalamusMinimus]

It should be "pacify this Hungarian". Just sayin.

[@joshuagrote4823]

am I the only guy who is relating this to most and I say again, most women in today's society? like they want you to beautifully worship them and they say/act/ or do things to make you feel like your important but once they've had their fill with you and maybe even filled their "hollow" they want to kick you to the curb. just Saiyan

[@PaTThRaX]

My mid 20s, just got out of a long relationship with a nearly deadly breakup. I lost 50lbs in 3 months. Everyone thought I was going to kill or be killed by this and I came through the other side hungry. Hungry for life, hungry for what I felt I deserved. Pleasures of the flesh and pleasures of a chemical nature. The summer of 2007 I indulged in everything I could, drink, take or penetrate I did. I regret nothing other than that I feel like the cycle is coming around again...
