“Hollow Point” is a Lovibond May Rowanwood song from the Rowanwood music catalogue, confronting themes of violence, despair, and self-destruction before turning toward vulnerability and renewal, carried by a blues-influenced, rhythm-driven arrangement and an expressive vocal.
Strange and discordant tremors twist through your mind
Choking out a silent scream
You stand before them exposed
Deranged and daring visions cloud up your eyes
As if walking in a dream
Raise the barrel, lock and load
Don’t blame me
I am not there
I don’t see why I should care
When every day
Is Bloody Sunday
With you
Singing your own eulogy
Since the day you were born
Your wearing your full metal jacket
Hair Trigger
Nothing gets under your skin
Hair Trigger
You fire your hollow point bullets
Bang Bang
In losing you hope to win
No blissful esoteric meaning
Just seventeen people dead
Put the gun down
Sinking ever deeper in self-styled victimhood
Claiming you no longer feel
Damning yourself to death row
Blowing off your made-up face cannot make it good
Do you think it makes you real?
Or authentically en vogue?
Don’t blame me
I am not there
I don’t see why I should care
When every day
Is Bloody Sunday
With you
Singing your own requiem
Since the day you were born
You opened your full metal jacket
Hair Trigger
Things get under your skin
Hair Trigger
You eat your hollow point bullet
Bang Bang
In losing you hope to win
No blissful esoteric meaning
Just another person dead
Put the gun down
In a world where being happy seems shallow and quaint
Being broken is the rule
Bitch, whine, moan, complain and cry
People claim feeling good to be arrogant and vain
Let me play the role of fool
To dance beneath clear, blue skies
Singing
I’ll be free
Without a care
I don’t see why I should care
When every day
Is a holiday
And I
Singing out a new song
My spirit free at last
I’ve cast off my full metal jacket
Open Mind
Opened up my heart again
Open Hand
I bite my hollow point bullet
Yes, Yes
I can feel it ease the pain
Conspicuously vulnerable
Laughing in the morning rain
Lift your heart up
Lift your heart up
