"Hollow" lyrics

"Hollow"

[Romanized:]

Me mo kurezu mae mite hashitte kita
Hikiyoserareta you ni koko made, tada
Boku no bucket list ni wa takusan no chekku ga
Nazeka manzoku dekinai boku wa

Dareka omoi mitashite kawaki iyashite
Trying kurikaesu kotae mo naku
Donna kotoba mo tarinai douka onegai, mou
I can't take it no more

Subete dakishime hashitte mo why do I feel hollow?
Donna basho ni ite mo kodoku ni naru I'm alone
Ai ga hitsuyou na no ka hitori de iru hodo
Muriyari mitashite mo I'm so

Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Oh-na-na-na)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Ah)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Oh-na-na-na)
Muriyari mitashite mo I'm so

Saikin no kibun wa sharp yori flat
Kodawari kizuita career no stack
Hall of fame, mada saki tookute
Shinin' star, sono ura wa all in black
Plus yori minus ni muku me ga
Muda kurikaeshite inai ka
Ki ga nuketa you de subete ga
Tsurakute

Dareka omoi mitashite kawaki iyashite
Trying kurikaesu kotae mo naku
Donna kotoba mo tarinai douka onegai, mou
I can't take it no more

Subete dakishime hashitte mo why do I feel hollow?
Donna basho ni ite mo kodoku ni naru I'm alone
Ai ga hitsuyou na no ka hitori de iru hodo
Muriyari mitashite mo I'm so

Kumo no naka no moon
Hikari nai yoru
Namae mo nai kokoro, ah-ah
Sora o samayou

Subete dakishime hashitte mo why do I feel hollow?
Donna basho ni ite mo kodoku ni naru I'm alone
Ai ga hitsuyou na no ka hitori de iru hodo
Muriyari mitashite mo I'm so

Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Oh-na-na-na)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Ah)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Oh-na-na-na)
Muriyari mitashite mo I'm so

[Japanese:]

目もくれず 前見て走ってきた
引き寄せられたように ここまで、ただ
僕の bucket listには たくさんのチェックが
なぜか 満足できない僕は

誰か 想い満たして 渇き癒して
Trying 繰り返す 答えもなく
どんな言葉も足りない どうかお願い、もう
I can't take it no more

全て抱きしめ 走っても why do I feel hollow?
どんな場所にいても孤独になる I'm alone
愛が必要なのか 一人でいる程
無理やり満たしても I'm so

Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Oh-na-na-na)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Ah)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Oh-na-na-na)
無理やり満たしても I'm so

最近の気分は sharpより flat
こだわり築いた careerの stack
Hall of fame, まだ先 遠くて
Shinin' star, その裏は all in black
Plusよりminusに向く目が
無駄繰り返していないか
気が抜けたようで全てが
辛くて

誰か 想い満たして 渇き癒して
Trying 繰り返す 答えもなく
どんな言葉も足りない どうかお願い、もう
I can't take it no more

全て抱きしめ 走っても why do I feel hollow?
どんな場所にいても孤独になる I'm alone
愛が必要なのか 一人でいる程
無理やり満たしても I'm so

雲の中の moon
光りない夜
名前もない心, ah-ah
空を彷徨う

全て抱きしめ 走っても why do I feel hollow?
どんな場所にいても孤独になる I'm alone
愛が必要なのか 一人でいる程
無理やり満たしても I'm so

Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Oh-na-na-na)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Ah)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Oh-na-na-na)
無理やり満たしても I'm so

[English translation:]

Without glancing aside, I kept running forward
As if pulled by something, I came all the way here, just like that
My bucket list has so many checks
But somehow, I'm still not satisfied

Someone, aim for the sun and quench this thirst
Trying again and again, with no answers
No words are ever enough, please, I'm begging you
I can't take it no more

Even if I hold everything close and run, why do I feel hollow?
No matter where I am, I end up feeling lonely, I'm alone
Is it love that I need? The more I'm by myself
Even if I force it to feel full, I'm so

Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Oh-na-na-na)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Ah)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Oh-na-na-na)
Even if I force it to feel full, I'm so

Lately, I've been feeling more flat than sharp
Stacking up a career I built with pride
Hall of Fame is still far away
That shinin' star hides a world all in black
My eyes drift more to the minus than the plus
Am I just repeating things in vain?
It's like all the air's gone out of me
Everything just hurts

Someone, please fill me with emotion, quench this thirst
Trying again and again, no answers
No words are ever enough, please, I'm begging you
I can't take it no more

Even if I hold everything close and run, why do I feel hollow?
No matter where I am, I end up feeling lonely, I'm alone
Is it love that I need? The more I'm by myself
Even if I force it to feel full, I'm so

Moon in the clouds, a night with no light
A heart without a name, ah-ah, I drift through the sky

Even if I hold everything close and run, why do I feel hollow?
No matter where I am, I end up feeling lonely, I'm alone
Is it love that I need? The more I'm by myself
Even if I force it to feel full, I'm so

Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Oh-na-na-na)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Ah)
Hollow, hollow, hollow, oh (Oh-na-na-na)
Even if I force it to feel full, still, I'm so

"Hollow" is the lead single from Stray Kids' third Japanese mini-album, their first Japanese mini-album in nearly three years since 2022's "CIRCUS". "Hollow" also marks the first time when Stray Kids composed an album entirely with original Japanese tracks. The song was premiered on June 11, 2025, accompanied by the rather dark-themed music video where the boys are in search of some mysterious crystal orbs.
The group's producing team 3RACHA—Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han—participated in the production of this song, capitalizing on the fact that Stray Kids is a "self-producing group". The album also contains an instrumental version of the song.
