Song lyrics
Run desire run
Sexual being
Run him like a blade
To and through the heart
No conscience
One Motive
Cater to the hollow

Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hungering
So grow
Libido throw
Dominoes of indiscretions down
Falling all around
In cycles
In circles
Constantly consuming
Conquer and devour

Cause it's time to bring the fire down
Bridle all this indiscretion
Long enough to edify
And permanently fill this hollow

Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying

Feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying

This song is kick ass! Only Maynard knows what it really means but make your own interpretation. It seems to me like its about sex.

Yeah im assuming it's about promiscuity and all the negative behaviors that come along with it's territory. I love it, it puts shame to all the sluts in this world.

''cause its time to bring the fire down
throttle all this indiscretion
long enough to edify
and permanently fill this hollow "

I think this accuratly portrays that this needs to end and it also shows his pity for these people.

Very, very good song, one of the best Perfect Circle songs, and indeed best songs ever.

The lyrics are especially brilliant, so many catchy lines of lyrics . Maynard's singing is at it's best here!

This is the first song that gets 25/25 for me.

It's not synth, it's an arpegio played on guitar through an octavier pedal. - Heard the acoustic version? absolutely fantastic.

Wow, this song is amazing! I can't believe I only just discovered APC a few months ago... Now that I have, I wonder how I managed to survive without them!

i think this song is actually about sum1 who has this massive emptiness inside of them and will try anything to fill it.... i luv this song so much, its my all time favourite APC song (and thats saying sumthing coz i luv almost all their songs)... "coz its time to bring the fire down, bridle all this indescretion, long enough to edify, and permanently fill this hollow" *sigh*

I think this was the first APC song I heard..Ive loved them for so long its hard to remember actually, but this is my favourite band-they are so damn unique its unbelievable and thats what contributes to me being obsessed with them almost. Maynard has a magical voice-it can change like its a completely different person singing. Anyway the Hollow is fantastic.

No doubt one of the best songs on the album. THe lyrics are just brilliant; What i think, is that this song is about those who like to have sex so much cause they desperately need to fill emptyness inside of them (Feed me here, fill me up again). APC has some of the best lyrics and vocals i ever heard (excluding Tool )

Chrisquin9 that's a really interesting take when i hear those lines i think its still straight forward bout sex, time to bring the fire down = lower the lights and get down to it, rather than everyone's attitudes towards sex, bridle as in control and get some use out of the lack of discretion you have when all you can think about is sex. and long lasting enough to edify you, as in like tantric behavior filling your soul as well as the physical metaphor of the hallow which we can imagine without me saying. i fucking love james maynard 3 well good song
