"Hollow" is the official theme song of Final Fantasy VII Remake. It was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, with arrangement and synthesizers by Kenichiro Fukui. The lyrics were written in Japanese by Kazushige Nojima, under the title "Hollow Skies" (からっぽの空 Karappo no Sora) and translated into English by Ben Sabin and John Crow.
The song features English vocals by Yosh (Yoshiya Morita), lead singer of Japanese band Survive Said the Prophet. The Japanese lyrics appear as subtitles in the Japanese version of the ending credits FMV, and were first published in the Final Fantasy VII Remake Ultimania.

I would be lost, drifting along
Floating up high, time after time
And there you'd be, shining brightly
Your smiling face to guide my way
Bloody and bruised, brought to my knees
When beaten down, when broken up
You would appear, reach out to me,
Heal every wound, and make me whole
Was it all a dream? Will I never know?
Foolish and blind to everything
Had I realized, had I thought it through,
Would you be here in my embrace?
Shine bright once more
Guide me to you
Smile bright once more
This time I will never let you go
With your every smile hiding something more:
Dark mysteries lurking beneath
But I was consumed with this emptiness
This selfishness, this void to fill
Hear me once more
Show me your smile
This time for sure
I'll see the truth hidden inside your tears
But I, I know
That you're long gone
But I, I will go on
Howling and hollow

漂い 流れて
迷った時でも
あなたの輝く
笑顔が導く
傷つき倒れて
打ちひしがれても
あなたに触れたら
すべては癒され
浮かれてた？そうかもな
何も知らずに
気づくのが早ければ
抱きしめられたかい？
もう一度輝け
一度でいい見つけるから
もう一度笑って
今度は離しはしない
笑顔には隠された
秘密があったね
でき俺は空っぽで
求めてばかりで
もう一度頼むよ
笑顔を見せて
もう一度今度こそ
涙の跡に気づいてみせる
ああ わかるよ
あなたはいない
でも俺は
叫び続ける
空っぽだから

Drifting
Washed away
Even when I am lost
Your shining smile
Guides my way
When I am hurt
And have fallen down
If I touch you
Everything is healed
Was I daydreaming? Maybe
Without knowing anything
If I realized it sooner,
Would you still be in my embrace?
Shine one more time
One more time is enough, let me find you
Laugh one more time
I won't let you go this time
Hidden in your smile
You had a secret
But I became empty
And wanted more
One more time, I ask of you
Let me see your smile
One more time, for certain
I will notice the marks of your tears
Oh, I understand now
You're not here
But I
I will keep on screaming
Because I am hollow
