Here's an interesting fact that probably nobody knows, the title of this song was taken from a poem I (MiKE) wrote.

The
Hollow
End

Fowards,
Inevitability
Gets
Harder
To

Triumph
Over,

Death
Is
Eminent.

Now for the info on the actual song. Well here's an odd theme for you, no its not Suicide again! It tells the story of a deranged schitzophrenic individual in a mental hospital. Y'know, the whole "circle room padded wall" type. The structure of the song took mold to the theme behind it. As the title of the song is a contradiction in itself, and the actual guitars of the song start off with some wierd things going on anyway. The line "nowhere to go and beat myself" seems odd at first, then remember the writer is somewhat deranged as well...
