Starting with "They carved themselves into hollow shells," What I’m saying here is people basically started cutting away at who they really are. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually—stripping themselves down, hollowing themselves out, all to try and fit into some idea of what they think they’re supposed to be.
Then, "injecting poison for ‘perfection.’" This part’s about how far it goes. Like, literally—injecting chemicals, doing surgeries, whatever it takes, chasing this fake idea of “perfect.” And not just physically, either; it’s also about toxic beliefs and toxic behaviors people take in trying to look like they have it all together.
Next, "Eternal beauty? A mask for emptiness." This one’s pretty raw. It’s like, sure, on the outside, it might look like they’ve achieved this ‘perfect beauty’ everyone’s chasing. But underneath? It's just emptiness. The mask looks great, but inside, there’s a lot of sadness, fear, loneliness—all the stuff nobody talks about.
Then, "Their mirrors reflected lies, not light." Man, this line’s heavy. It’s saying that when they look at themselves, they’re not seeing their true selves anymore. They’re seeing a lie they built. The mirror should show you your light—your realness, your soul. But instead, it’s showing back a fake, polished image that's got nothing to do with who they really are.
And finally, "A sickness they called ‘hope.’" This part’s about how twisted it got. Like, they believed—and were sold the belief—that this endless chase would make them happy. That it was hope, something to live for. But really? It’s a sickness. It’s hope poisoned by insecurity and fear, dressed up to look like ambition.
So yeah, it’s basically me saying: we’re chasing something hollow because we’re scared to just be real—and the world keeps telling us that’s normal, even something to celebrate.
