Lonely Island
Lost on Love's Lonely Island
Lyrics
There's not a soul in sight
Expresses solitude or isolation, no one around.
How did I ever get here (whoa)
Reflects on the current situation, questioning how it happened.
I'm missing life before wishin' you would re-appear (Whoa)
Longing for the past when life was enjoyed without the current person.
But I fell so hard, I went beneath the surface (whoa)
Describes a deep emotional fall below the surface, likely in love.
You see a lovely dance, slowing disappearing, oh
Portrays a beautiful dance fading away, symbolizing a relationship.
Is it a sweet dream or is it a nightmare
Questions the reality of the situation, whether it's a dream or a nightmare.
I can't sleep without you right here
Expresses difficulty sleeping without the person in question.
Lost in the middle of nowhere
Feeling lost and directionless in life.
I need you now
An urgent desire for the person's presence.
Feels like I'm on a lonely island (oh)
Describing the emotional state as being on a lonely island.
Waiting for ya, waiting for ya
Waiting for the person, anticipating their return.
On this lonely island (oh)
Reiterating the feeling of being on a lonely island while waiting.
Waiting for ya, waiting for ya
Continued anticipation for the person's return.
Save me from this lonely island
Plea for rescue or relief from the loneliness.
Save me from this lonely island
Repetition of the plea for rescue from the lonely island.
Searching high and low
Engaging in a search for something, possibly meaning or fulfillment.
Took my mind to another planet (whoa)
Mentally escaping to another place or mindset.
Didn't know this love could cause me so much damage (Whoa)
Realization that love has caused unexpected harm.
But the thought of you keeps my heart from wondering (Whoa)
The presence of the person prevents the heart from wandering.
Are these lovely sands slowly re-appearing
Wondering if positive changes are happening in the relationship.
Is it a sweet dream or is it a nightmare
Reiteration of the dream or nightmare ambiguity.
I can't sleep without you right here
Highlighting difficulty in sleeping without the person.
Lost in the middle of nowhere
Emphasizing the feeling of being lost without direction.
I need you now, oh
Reiterates the immediate need for the person.
Feels like I'm on a lonely island (oh)
Repetition of the lonely island metaphor with anticipation.
Waiting for ya, waiting for ya
Waiting for the person to come back.
On this lonely island (oh)
Continued expression of waiting on the lonely island.
Waiting for ya, waiting for ya
Anticipating the return of the person.
Feels like I'm on a lonely island (lonely island lonely island) (Oh)
Repetition of the lonely island theme, emphasizing loneliness.
Waiting for ya, waiting for ya
Waiting for the person, emphasizing the loneliness.
On this lonely island (lonely island lonely island) (Oh)
Continued expression of waiting on the lonely island.
Waiting for ya, waiting for ya
Final repetition of the anticipation for the person's return.
