Lonely Man
Breaking Free: Embracing Life's Challenges with John Farnham's 'Lonely Man'
Lyrics
It happened once before
Reflecting on a past experience
It could happen again
Acknowledging the possibility of a similar occurrence
Do you spend your life
Questioning if one avoids taking risks in life
Not trying anything
Suggesting a reluctance to try new things
It's turning you into
Indicating a negative transformation
What you don't want to be
Becoming something undesirable
A lonely man
Describing the consequence of avoiding connection
You hide yourself away
Choosing isolation
You hide inside your head
Retreating into one's thoughts or emotions
Don't you know that life
Highlighting the unpredictable nature of life
Is never what you plan
Life not conforming to planned expectations
I know what you've been through
Understanding the struggles of the individual
But no-one wants to see
Recognition that others may not empathize
A lonely man
Reiterating the consequence of isolation
You'll be, a lonely man
Affirming the inevitability of loneliness
There's nothing wrong with you
Assuring that personal issues are solvable
That can't be fixed right here
Encouraging self-improvement
You only have to want to
Emphasizing the importance of personal desire
Nothing anyone can say
Stating that external opinions can't overcome fear
To make you less scared
Advising to acknowledge the truth and confront fears
But you know the truth
Recognizing the necessity of self-awareness
That you gotta do
Emphasizing the need for decisive action
What you gotta do
Expressing the importance of doing what is necessary
To make it through
Highlighting perseverance through challenges
So open up your eyes
Encouraging a broader perspective
Please don't close your heart
Advising emotional openness
You can restart the fire
Suggesting a revival of passion or enthusiasm
All you need's the spark
Positing that a small spark can reignite motivation
After all you've been through
Acknowledging past challenges
You still don't need to be
Asserting that past challenges don't define one
A lonely man
Reiterating the undesirability of loneliness
Don't be the lonely, (lonely man)
Repeating the plea to avoid loneliness
Don't be a lonely, (lonely man)
-Don't be a lonely man, (lonely man)
-Yeah you know the truth that you gotta do
Affirming the need to confront truths and take action
What you gotta do
Reiterating the importance of doing what's necessary
You'll make it through
Expressing confidence in overcoming challenges
