Lyrics
Needed you, you were only using
Feeling used, realizing you were only exploiting me
Needing you just tore me down
Needing your presence caused emotional destruction
And here I stand in isolation
Currently experiencing a state of being alone and separated
Feeling emptiness and doubt
Feeling a sense of emptiness and uncertainty
Walking down the broken highway
Traveling along a path that is damaged or difficult
Sucking sugar plain and sweet
Indulging in simple and pleasurable experiences
Did your mother ever tell you
Rhetorical question about maternal advice regarding happiness and freedom
That the joyful are free
Highlighting the idea that those who are joyful are truly free
I need some lovin'
Expressing a need for love
Like an inmate needs a dime
Comparing the need for love to an inmate's need for money
I need some lovin'
Reiteration of the desire for love
Like a poet needs a rhyme
Comparing the need for love to a poet's need for inspiration
Here I stand in isolation
Reiteration of the feeling of being isolated
My empty hands in isolation
Emphasizing the empty hands as a symbol of isolation
Walking down the broken highway
Continuing the journey along a difficult path
Sucking sugar cause it's my way
Indulging in pleasure because it is one's chosen way
Find me one heart to complete with
Searching for a genuine connection with someone's heart
Heading for the farthest reaches
Moving towards distant and unexplored territories
I need some lovin'
Expressing a continued need for love
Like a body needs a soul
Comparing the need for love to a body's need for a soul
I need some lovin'
Reiteration of the ongoing desire for love
Like a fastball needs control
Comparing the need for love to a fastball's need for control
Here I stand in isolation
Reiteration of the feeling of being isolated
My empty hands in isolation
Emphasizing the empty hands as a symbol of isolation
Strike up the band
Calling for a celebration or performance
In this proud land
Emphasizing a sense of national or personal pride
Got a lot to do
Expressing a recognition of having many responsibilities
Got a lot to say
Acknowledging the need to express oneself
Got a life to live
Acknowledging the importance of living life to the fullest
Here I stand-
Reiteration of the feeling of being isolated
In isolation
Emphasizing the continued state of isolation
