Dead On The Inside - Hollow Me Out [Official Lyric Video]

“Hollow Me Out” by Dead On The Inside is a disturbing and visceral post-hardcore track that blurs the line between love and mutilation. It’s a song about being consumed in the name of devotion — carved apart, silenced, and turned into an object of worship by someone who called it love.

From the opening with dragging feedback and unsettling bone-crack percussion, the track sets a suffocating mood. The verses describe brutal imagery of devotion — scars as scripture, love traced in bruises, a sonnet carved into a spine with a knife. The chorus delivers the devastating hook: “I let you hollow me out / and you loved what you found / every piece you took / made me less human, more yours.” It’s worship through suffering, and the sound of a heart willingly destroyed.

Musically, it twists between guttural heaviness and eerie atmosphere, building an oppressive wall of sound that mirrors the lyrics’ grotesque intimacy. “Hollow Me Out” isn’t about heartbreak — it’s about annihilation, about becoming nothing so someone else can feel whole.
