Hollow
Jordan Feliz's cover of "Hollow" is a heartfelt pop song that expresses human fragility and the deep need for love and fulfillment. The lyrics describe feeling empty and broken, like a hollow cup that only love can fill. The singer confesses weakness and asks to be held and wrapped in love, acknowledging that only love can make them whole. While the original song by Tori Kelly is a secular love song, this cover can be interpreted as a prayer to God, seeking His love and healing. The themes of brokenness, surrender, and being filled by love resonate with Christian listeners.
I don't wanna be the last man standing
I don't wanna be the lonely one
Picking petals when the party's over
No, it's not any fun
Cause I'm fragile
And you know this
So hold me
Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
Empty
And only your love can fill up my cup
Cause I'm hollow
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
Cause I'm hollow
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
I don't wanna be the first one folding
I don't wanna be the joker heart
Tell me, darling, will you understand me?
And not show me your cards?
Cause I'm paper-thin
And you, you make me whole again
So hold me
Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
Empty
And only your love can fill up my cup
Cause I'm hollow
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
Cause I'm hollow
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
I confess (yeah), my weakness
'Til you pick up the parts that are broken
Pour out your perfection on me now
And hold me
Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
Empty
Cause only your love can fill up my cup
Cause I'm hollow
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
Cause I'm hollow
Yeah, I'm hollow, oh oh oh
So hold me
Wrap me in love, fill up my cup
Empty
And only your love can fill up my cup
