Lonely One
Embracing Solitude: Reflections on Loneliness and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Light in the window but out in the night it's a cold world
Despite the presence of light in the window, the world outside is cold and harsh.
Locked on collision--wrong over right between boy and girl
A collision between right and wrong in a relationship between a boy and a girl.
Call it the fashion--but can you deny your vices are one up on you
Reference to following a fashionable lifestyle, but acknowledging personal vices.
Caught in the patterns--longin' to fly...sayin' it's all you can do
Trapped in repetitive patterns, longing for freedom and expressing it as the only option.
When you're the only one...you see the lonely one
Emphasizes the feeling of being the only one and the loneliness that comes with it.
Ashes to ashes, dust into night and a trail of blue
Metaphorical transition from life to night, with a trail of emotional remnants.
Split screens and sidewalks...six strings and nighthawks and someone new
Mentions various elements (split screens, sidewalks, six strings, nighthawks) symbolizing change and encounters with new people.
You got your answers and you got some time...but sometimes they run out on you
Having answers and time, but sometimes both run out, leading to uncertainty.
You got your reasons and you got your lies...but sometimes they leave you
Having reasons and lies, but they can still leave a person feeling lonely.
Lonely, so lonely...lonely so lie
Reiterates the theme of loneliness, emphasizing the emotional state.
When you're the only one...you feel the lonely one
Feeling the impact of being the only one, reinforcing the sense of loneliness.
Now you're the only one...you see the lonely one
Continuation of the emotional impact, becoming aware of being the only one.
You try to be certain...you're certain to try
Struggling to be certain in the midst of challenges and uncertainties.
Chasin' your shadows...changin' your mind
Pursuing elusive goals and constantly changing one's mind.
Facin' those faces again and again and again...
Facing familiar faces repeatedly, possibly representing recurring relationship challenges.
Turn from the window and walk through the shadows of love gone by
Turning away from the past and navigating the shadows of love that have faded.
Searchin' your manner way down inside, still you don't know why
Searching deep within oneself without understanding the reasons for certain emotions.
Lost in the mirror you're hopin' to find the fountain that's run out on you
Feeling lost in self-reflection, hoping to rediscover something valuable.
You got your rhythm and you got your lines, but sometimes they leave you
Having rhythm and lines, but they can still leave a person feeling lonely.
Lonely so lonely...lonely so lie
Reiteration of the theme of loneliness and lies contributing to that feeling.
When you're the only one...you feel the lonely one
Continued emphasis on the emotional impact of being the only one.
Now you're the only one...you see the lonely one
Recognition of being the only one, reinforcing the theme of loneliness.
And you go on and on and on
Repetition of the emotional journey, suggesting it persists.
You see the lonely one
Reaffirmation of seeing the lonely one, indicating a continued sense of solitude.
And you go on and on and on
Continuation of the emotional journey, seeing the lonely one persistently.
You see the lonely one
Reiteration of the ongoing awareness of the lonely one.
Lonely so lonely...lonely so lie
Repeating the theme of loneliness and lies, emphasizing the emotional state.
Lonely so lonely...lonely so lie
Repetition of the loneliness and lies theme, reinforcing the emotional impact.
Now you're the only, only one...
Final acknowledgment of being the only one, solidifying the theme of loneliness.
