When Jelly Roll sings “my heart is hollow,” it’s not just a lyric; it’s a whole feeling wrapped in bass and bruises. His song “Hollow” dives deep into the kind of pain most people try to hide behind fake smiles and filters. He talks about feeling broken, unable to love, and haunted by memories that hit harder than a heartbreak playlist on repeat. It’s like he’s having a conversation with his past, and the past keeps yelling back.
Every word in “Hollow” feels like a tear that refused to fall. With lines about crying himself to sleep and drowning sorrow in empty bottles, Jelly doesn’t sugarcoat anything. It’s heavy stuff, but it’s also healing. Because when someone puts their pain into words, it lets the rest of the lot breathe a little easier. Hollow is music for your soul, not just ears.

Did you ever get that sensation that you’re running from something but you can’t exactly place your finger on what it is? Jelly does. He spits regarding not being able to trust, his smile as fake as a mask, and being his worst enemy. It’s honest, unvarnished, and a reminder that it’s okay not to know everything..
However, he suddenly flips the switch just when you think you’ve reached your lowest point with him. Here comes “Liar,” a ferocious song that resembles musical emotional retaliation. The energy is completely different. Now, Jelly’s not curled up with his sorrow, he’s rising from it like a phoenix with a microphone. He calls out the voices and people who told him he wasn’t enough, and he sets their lies on fire. The beat is strong, the vibe is defiant, and his voice? Unshakable. If “Hollow” was the storm, “Liar” is the lightning.
