Recipe To Be Lonely
Unraveling Isolation: David Dondero's Melancholic Recipe To Be Lonely
Lyrics
Didn't try to call you
Didn't make an attempt to contact you.
& it turned out
As a result,
you didn't try to call me too
You also didn't attempt to contact me.
I didn't try to reach you
I didn't try to get in touch with you.
& it turned out
Consequently,
you didn't try to reach me too
You also didn't try to reach out to me.
Ain't that a recipe
This situation is like a formula or pattern.
recipe to be lonely
A pattern leading to feeling lonely.
recipe to be lonely & blue
A pattern leading to feeling lonely and sad.
Didn't try to know ya
I didn't attempt to understand you.
& it turned out
As a result,
You didn't try to know me too
You also didn't try to understand me.
I didn't try to talk to you
I didn't make an effort to communicate with you.
& it turned out
As a result,
you didn't try to talk
You also didn't attempt to communicate with me.
to me too
This is true.
true
The telephone used to work two ways
In the past, communication used to go both ways.
but now it works about eight ways
Now, communication has expanded but is ineffective.
but it don't work out no way
Despite the expanded modes of communication, it doesn't result in meaningful interaction.
No way not this way
No way, especially not in this manner.
I didn't try to listen to you
I didn't make an effort to listen to you.
& it turned out
As a result,
You didn't try to listen to me too
You also didn't make an effort to listen to me.
I didn't try to contact you
I didn't try to establish contact with you.
& it turned out
As a result,
You didn't try to contact me too
You also didn't try to establish contact with me.
Twas a heaping helping of no hellos
There were no greetings or attempts to communicate.
Gram or two of I gotta goes
Small attempts or intentions to leave quickly.
Make a plan but don't never show
Making plans but never following through.
Ain't that a recipe
This situation resembles a formula.
recipe to be lonely
A pattern resulting in feeling lonely.
recipe to be alone
A formula for being alone.
A recipe to be lonely and blue
A formula for feeling lonely and sad.
