Hollow

shy-c

The song examines the perspective of a young person growing up in our time, having to compromise our childhood dreams to face the realities of adult life (and the looming threat of climate change). The track showcases shy-c’s signature style, combining the electric guitar with swelling future-bass synths. The main melodic sections alternate between the vocals and the lead guitar, broken up by short glitchy segments composed of chopped-up guitar samples. The song builds up into a bittersweet climax with the repeated lyrics ‘Though I’m lost for sure, I’d rather be lost with you, than to be hollow’.
