Both All The Time
Embracing Solitude: Both All The Time by Faye Webster
Lyrics
Will I stop crying for once?
Expressing a desire to stop crying and seek relief from emotional pain.
It's hurtin' my eyes
Intense emotional pain causing physical discomfort, specifically in the eyes.
There's a difference between lonely and lonesome
Highlighting a distinction between feeling alone and a deeper, more profound sense of emptiness.
But I'm both all the time
Conveying a constant experience of both loneliness and emptiness simultaneously.
Yeah, I'm both all the time
Reiterating the perpetual coexistence of loneliness and emptiness in the speaker's life.
I don't let myself out
Choosing to stay indoors and avoiding social interaction intentionally.
But I like it like that
Expressing a preference for the current state of limited social engagement.
I don't get the point of leaving my house
Questioning the purpose of leaving the comfort of home since the speaker always returns.
'Cause I always come back
Emphasizing a consistent pattern of returning home despite briefly leaving.
Yeah, I always come back
Reinforcing the idea of always coming back home after briefly venturing out.
And I'm too scared to look
Expressing fear or hesitation about facing the unknown.
I never know what happens
Uncertainty about events or outcomes, leading to repeated engagement with familiar content.
So I keep rereading the same book
Repeating the same experiences or patterns due to fear of the unknown.
'Cause I know how it ends
Choosing familiarity over uncertainty by sticking to what is known.
Yeah, I know how it ends
Emphasizing the speaker's knowledge and predictability of certain situations.
I'm loneliest at night
Feeling most isolated during nighttime.
After my shower beer
Describing a specific time (after a shower beer) when loneliness is heightened.
And I'll go to sleep without turning out the lights
Choosing to sleep with lights on, creating an illusion of company.
Pretend like somebody's here
Imagining the presence of someone to alleviate loneliness before sleep.
Pretend like somebody's here
Pretending to have companionship as a coping mechanism for loneliness.
