Without Someone
Lost in the City Lights: ELO's Without Someone Meaning
Lyrics
I watch the cars move, I watch the lights up on the window
Observing the movement of cars and lights outside the window.
I walk along the street, I'm only thinking of you
Walking on the street, thoughts solely focused on a specific person.
I watch the clock staring from the wall, it hardly moves at all
Watching a clock on the wall, time seems to pass very slowly while waiting for someone.
It's you I'm waiting for
The anticipation is for the arrival of a particular person.
Without someone I can depend on
Expressing vulnerability without a reliable person to depend on.
I'm lost without someone
Feeling adrift and directionless without the presence of someone.
As I go on, I hope you're remembering
Hoping that the person in mind recalls shared moments as time progresses.
I'm lost without someone
Continuing to feel lost without the company of a significant person.
All alone no one around, I watch the shadows falling faster
Being alone, observing the shadows lengthening quickly.
The city lights begin to glow and then I start to realize
City lights coming alive, leading to a realization about the absence of the person.
I count the hours as they slip away into another day
Counting the passing hours, wondering where the person is spending their time.
Wondering where you'll stay
Curiosity about the whereabouts of the person intensifies.
Without someone I can depend on
Reiterating the sense of dependence on someone for support.
I'm lost without someone
Emphasizing the feeling of being lost in the absence of a specific person.
As I go on, I hope you're remembering
Expressing a hope that the person remembers shared experiences.
I'm lost without someone
Continuing to grapple with a sense of loss without that special someone.
Still watching the cars move, still watching the lights
Revisiting the observation of cars and lights, perhaps in a repetitive, contemplative manner.
Upon the window
Still engrossed in thoughts while walking down the street.
I'm walking down the street, I'm only thinking of you
Reiterating the focus on a particular person during the walk.
I hear the night as it calls to me, it plays a symphony
Hearing the night and its sounds, which evoke a sense of loss and separation.
It says you're gone from me
The night signals the absence of the person, creating a somber symphony of emotions.
Without someone I can depend on
Underscoring the need for someone reliable and supportive in life.
I'm lost without someone
Reiterating the feeling of being adrift without a dependable person.
As I go on, I hope you're remembering
Expressing a lingering hope that shared memories are not forgotten over time.
I'm lost without someone
Reiterating the ongoing sense of being lost in the absence of a significant person.
