Lonely Man
Solitude's Symphony: A Tale of Emptiness and Spirits in Gin
Lyrics
Well I am just a lonely man I have no wife to coddle
Expressing loneliness, highlighting the absence of a spouse for comfort.
I sit at home drunk alone just drinking from the bottle
Describing a solitary, possibly self-destructive behavior of drinking alone at home.
I go to work then come home with nothing left to do
Routine of going to work but returning home without meaningful activities.
But sing a song and play along with no one to play it to
Using music as a form of expression, though there is no audience to appreciate it.
Oh when I die no one will cry or say goodbye to me
Anticipating a lack of emotional impact upon death due to a reclusive lifestyle.
For I am just a hermit crab who's living in the sea
Comparing oneself to a hermit crab, emphasizing a solitary existence.
But that's just fine cause' gin and wine are the only love I need
Finding solace in alcohol (gin and wine) as the primary source of comfort and love.
A shot at night and I'll feel alright cause' it keeps me up to speed
Highlighting the reliance on alcohol to maintain emotional well-being.
Cause' I am just a lonely man I have no wife to coddle
Reiterating the theme of loneliness and lack of marital companionship.
I sit at home drunk alone just drinking from the bottle
Repeating the image of solitary drinking at home.
I go to work then come home with nothing left to do
Expressing a sense of emptiness after returning from work.
But sing a song and play along with no one to play it to
Continuing to use music as a form of personal expression without an audience.
I go to sleep in my sheets and I sleep the whole way through
Describing a routine of sleeping alone in a single bed.
But I wake up in a single bed cause' I've got no need for two
Rejecting the need for a larger bed, reinforcing a solitary lifestyle.
The sun may have its planets and the earth has got its moon
Metaphorically referencing celestial bodies to contrast with the speaker's loneliness.
Yet I'm still talking to myself in my living room
Acknowledging a tendency to talk to oneself in the absence of company.
I am just a lonely man I have no wife to coddle
Reiterating the theme of loneliness and lack of marital companionship.
I sit at home drunk alone just drinking from the bottle
Repeating the image of solitary drinking at home.
I go to work then come home with nothing left to do
Expressing a sense of emptiness after returning from work.
But sing a song and play along with no one to play it to
Continuing to use music as a form of personal expression without an audience.
