Referential to Plato's Allegory of a Cave, lyrics discuss the pain and uncertainty of love as it's shadows impress ambiguity in the deep cavities of our hearts. Perhaps though, we over complicate, looking too deep when the answer lies right in front of us, shiny and new.
lyrics
Shackled ankles got me feelin,
Hollow,
Do you see things the way that I see them,
Hollow,
Pickled prose and shadows weeping,
Hollow,
Must be something outside this darkness less,
Hollow,
Like a diamond in the rough you shine,
x4
Can't I marvel at the unattainable,
Hollow,
Or is this light within the deep not so,
Hollow,
Hollow,
Like a diamond in the rough you shine,
x12

Σtella's Greek-folk inflected pop sounds both vintage and subtly modern, like a lost gem sent from the magical nexus where 1966 meets 1986. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2022
