How Ya Lonesome
Embracing Solitude: Exploring the Depths of 'How Ya Lonesome' by Jess Williamson
Lyrics
How ya lonesome?
Feeling lonely; inquiring about someone's emotional state.
How ya blue?
Asking about feeling sad or down.
When the whole wide world
Despite the vast world, everyone is looking up to the person being addressed.
Is looking up to you
Emphasizing the admiration or expectations placed on the person.
Up to you
Repetition for emphasis on the responsibility or attention directed at the person.
Big moon shine all over the house
Describing a moon illuminating the entire house.
You didn't work then, well it don't work now
Reflecting on a past time of not working, which remains ineffective now.
Sage them stones, gotta rinse em out
Suggesting the need to cleanse or purify certain aspects symbolized by stones.
Asked for help, they let me down
Expressing disappointment in seeking help that wasn't provided.
Makin love ain't something you do
Challenging the notion that making love is just a physical act.
It's a place we go, honey
Defining love as a shared space or experience between two individuals.
Me and you
Repetition for emphasis on the intimate connection between the speaker and the addressed person.
Me and you
Reiterating the shared experience and connection between the speaker and the person.
Big moon shine all over the house
Recalling the bright presence of the moon in the past.
You didn't work then, well it don't work now
Highlighting the continuity of challenges, as not working then still doesn't work now.
Sage them stones, gotta rinse em out
Re-emphasizing the need to cleanse or purify certain aspects symbolized by stones.
Asked for help, they let me down
Repeating the disappointment in seeking help that wasn't provided.
Ain't nothing to it
Stating that the situation is straightforward or uncomplicated.
I'm gonna love you through it
Committing to love and support despite challenges.
Call me a passionate love
Describing a profound and intense form of love.
Call me whatever you want
Expressing openness to labels or perceptions, as love is beyond definitions.
Big moon shine all over the house
Recalling the bright presence of the moon in the house.
You didn't work then, well it don't work now
Reiterating the continuity of challenges and ineffectiveness.
Sage them stones, gotta rinse em out
Re-emphasizing the need to cleanse or purify certain aspects symbolized by stones.
Asked for help, they let me down
Repeating the disappointment in seeking help that wasn't provided.
