“Hollow Goodbye” is a deeply emotive song that captures the feeling of saying farewell to something—whether it’s a lost part of oneself, a fading hope, or a disintegrating reality. The lyrics weave through themes of isolation, unspoken pain, and the struggle to hold onto something that continues to slip away. With its haunting imagery of shadows, fading light, and unanswered questions, the song echoes the silent battle between longing and surrender. It paints a portrait of someone caught in a moment of emotional loss, where every truth feels like a burden and every goodbye feels empty, whispered to a world that no longer listens.

Hollow Goodbye
Noctisylum
[Verse]
Night feeds whispers through the cracks in the air
A quiet scream in a hollow lair
The cold wraps tight like a mocking snare
I reach for a flame that isn’t there
[Verse 2]
Shadows dance where the light should fall
An echo mocks me down the endless hall
Walls closing in but they’re not there at all
The void is louder than any call
[Chorus]
Whatever I hold turns to mist
Every truth is a blade I twist
A hollow goodbye clenched in my fist
Whispered to a world that won’t exist
[Verse 3]
The hour stands still as I lose my way
Stars flicker out one by one in the fray
Hope lies buried where the dead dreams stay
Fighting with silence that won’t obey
[Bridge]
I wear the weight like an anchor’s chain
Questions drip down like ceaseless rain
Does anyone listen does anyone gain
From a heart shattered again and again
[Chorus]
Whatever I hold turns to mist
Every truth is a blade I twist
A hollow goodbye clenched in my fist
Whispered to a world that won’t exist
