Lonely Ones
Emotional Turmoil: Ginny Loon's Reflection on Loneliness
Lyrics
Was it something I did
Expressing uncertainty or guilt about a past action.
Was it something I said
Reflecting on words spoken, suggesting potential regret.
Was there something at all
Questioning the existence or occurrence of something.
Or was it all in my head
Doubting the reality of a situation, possibly feeling paranoid.
Did she give me a look or is that just her thinking face
Wondering if a certain look was meaningful or just casual.
Or did she think about how I got even in this place
Contemplating revenge or equalizing actions in a situation.
I think I think too much but
Admitting to overthinking or excessive introspection.
Lonely ones
Introducing the theme of loneliness, possibly a shared experience.
We know that we'll regret this when the morning comes
Acknowledging the anticipation of regret after a night of actions.
We know
Repetition emphasizing awareness of consequences.
But when the night
Referring to the beginning of the night.
Is young and our heads already feel so tired
Feeling fatigued or burdened early in the night.
We know
Reiterating the expected regret with a sense of resignation.
Sometimes the way to go is go home
Suggesting that going home is the right choice in certain situations.
Thirty minutes for me to decide that I'll leave
Indecision and delay in leaving a place or situation.
Ten more minutes to get up knowing they'll all look at me
Awareness of the judgment of others upon leaving.
Maybe five to say bye and pretend that I'm fine
Pretending to be fine during goodbyes despite inner turmoil.
Barely one once I'm out 'till I'm starting to cry
Expressing emotional vulnerability once alone.
I think I think too much but
Repeating the theme of overthinking and loneliness.
Lonely ones
Reiteration of shared loneliness and anticipated regret.
We know that we'll regret this when the morning comes
Emphasizing the awareness of regret after the night passes.
We know
Repetition for emphasis on the consequence of actions.
But when the night
Referring again to the early part of the night.
Is young and our heads already feel so tired
Reiterating the feeling of mental fatigue early in the night.
We know
Stating the expectation of regret in the morning.
Sometimes the way to go is
Suggesting that going home is the solution.
Go home
Emphasizing the decision to return to one's place of comfort.
I'm walking through the night
Describing a solitary journey through the night.
While wondering why no one asked if I'm alright
Expressing a lack of concern from others about personal well-being.
Will I ever be okay
Pondering on the possibility of future well-being.
Go home
Reiterating the decision to go home for reflection.
And think about a time
Recalling a time when everything was fine.
That I was fine before I had to
Reflecting on the impact of overthinking on mental well-being.
Twist and turn every single word I say
Expressing the difficulty in communicating without misinterpretation.
Go home
Reiterating the decision to return home for self-reflection.
Look into windows with the light on
Observing others' joy while feeling isolated.
They're all laughing it's just I
Highlighting the contrast of being alone amidst laughter.
I'm on my own
Acknowledging the solitude despite the external environment.
Go home
Reiterating the decision to go home for self-reflection.
Try to remind myself they're me
Attempting self-encouragement by remembering commonalities with others.
Think of my friends and I have plenty
Recalling positive aspects of life to cope with loneliness.
Oh we're all just fucking lonely
Explicitly stating the shared feeling of loneliness.
