I Don't Know Anyone Here
Lost in the Night: A Journey of Redemption and Revelation
Lyrics
They say that I should know the taste of my own blood
Reflecting on experiencing personal harm, possibly metaphorical, and being aware of one's vulnerability.
And that night the metal never left my red solo cup
Describing a night where a metallic substance, possibly a drug or alcohol, was present in a red solo cup.
Fill me up then spit me out
Feeling filled up by something, only to be rejected or expelled afterward.
And I know I'm nothing but a drag to this party
Acknowledging a sense of being a burden or nuisance at the social gathering.
So I grab my things and I just try to leave
Deciding to leave the party, indicating a desire to distance oneself from the social situation.
But, blurred out faces are begging me to stay
Seeing indistinct faces that are encouraging the speaker to stay, suggesting internal conflict.
They tell me, "come out and play"
Being urged to participate in social activities despite personal reservations.
They say that your angel comes to you
Introducing the idea of a guardian angel appearing during sleep, a metaphor for guidance or solace.
When you're in your sleep
Highlighting the context of the angel's appearance during a state of vulnerability, such as sleep.
And mine had piercing eyes
Describing the angel's intense gaze, possibly signifying a significant or profound encounter.
So wide and so alive
Expressing the vitality and alertness of the angel's eyes.
He told me there was so much left that I
Revealing the angel's message about unexplored aspects of life that the speaker needs to witness.
I needed to see
Emphasizing the urgency or importance of the experiences that the speaker is yet to encounter.
And a beaming white heat took over my body
Describing a transformative and overwhelming sensation, possibly linked to the angel's message.
And it was time to fly
Indicating a moment of readiness for a significant change or departure.
And I've never been so high
Expressing a feeling of intense euphoria or elation.
I woke up in the morning
Describing the aftermath of the transformative experience, waking up with a physical discomfort.
With my head between my knees
Continuing the description of the morning after, emphasizing physical discomfort.
I woke up in the morning
Repeating the morning-after experience, this time with an emotional component, heartache.
With my heart at my feet

I woke up crying because the only thing I needed
Expressing the source of emotional pain—the absence of the angel.
Was my angel
Reiterating the longing for the angel, emphasizing its significance.
My angel
