lyrics

Some might say that the Hollow Man
is not a person, but a state of mind
But me, I 'm not so sure
I first noticed him many years ago
waving to me across the street
before disappearing back into the pavement
I shook his hand once, His grip
as his grasp of reality
was tentative indeed
And I saw in his eyes, many lives
Each more empty than the last
"Unfortunately, my life has not been fulfilling"
He told me, as I checked for cracks in the mirror
I urged him to show me something
daring, exciting or shocking
in his life
"I think I am losing the power of speech"
Was all he could whisper, with a tear in his eye
We parted on cordial terms
"I will always be around to remind you
of what might have been"
He murmured, before disolving slowly into the carpet
Some might say that the Hollow Man
is not a person, but a state of mind
So what does that make me?
They found him some weeks later
lying face down in the Sea of Dreams
The water had long since evaporated
and I knew then that he had
pronounced himself
Dead on Arrival.

about

PINCH OF HUNGER France

The "Pinch of Hunger" project started with the idea of highlighting Charles Antony’s poetry through some alternative music. Charles’ mellifluous voice,
mixed with hypnotic rhythms, will take you on a musical journey where you will bathe
in pretty diverse atmospheres.

My friend Chris Silver T. honoured me with his presence, bringing along his somewhat twisted/sampled/distorted
drum patterns. ... more
