Loneliness
Embracing Shadows: A Journey from Loneliness to Light
Lyrics
Well I went out walking, but ended up talking to you
Expressing an attempt to connect with someone through conversation while on a walk.
While asking your name, I could see all your pain seeping through
Observing emotional pain in the other person as their name is sought.
I asked, why were you crying? There’s no need for lying to me
Inquiring about the reason for the other person's tears, emphasizing honesty.
You said that there’s nothing wrong, I said that something must be
Challenging the denial of any problems and suggesting there must be an issue.
You said, but you’re just a stranger, you don’t need my anger or blues
Acknowledging the person's reluctance to share with a stranger.
I said, but we all need a hand, when we’re standing on glass with no shoes
Asserting the universal need for support in difficult situations.
So you said I’m tired of this loneliness, hiding out deep in my bones
Revealing the other person's admission of struggling with deep-seated loneliness.
Ohh my mind is a mess and my heart is a handful of stepped on stones
Describing the mental and emotional turmoil experienced, using metaphors.
Cuz it’s been too long
Emphasizing the prolonged duration of the loneliness.
Every evening, every dawn
Highlighting the consistent recurrence of loneliness during evenings and dawns.
This loneliness, it comes upon me
Stating the inevitability of loneliness affecting the individual.
And it's grown so old
Describing the enduring nature of loneliness, suggesting a long-standing issue.
All this emptiness, all this cold
Expressing the profound emptiness and coldness associated with loneliness.
I’m not digging for sympathy or begging for gold
Clarifying the absence of a desire for pity or material wealth.
I just want someone to hold
Expressing a simple desire for companionship and comfort.
But after a while, you managed to smile and you said
Describing the positive change in the person's demeanor with a smile.
Well look at me now, you would’ve thought all my happiness fled
Acknowledging personal growth and resilience in the face of hardship.
She said, you’re also human, you’ve been through loneliness too
Recognizing shared humanity and common experiences of loneliness.
I said, darling, the words that you speak, you know they are true
Affirming the truth in the other person's words about shared experiences.
But the sun always rises, and the spring always comes when it’s time
Highlighting the cyclical nature of life with the assurance that positive moments will come.
And it takes light to see shadows, it takes pain to see love truly shine
Expressing the philosophical idea that challenges and pain enhance the appreciation of love.
So I’ll wait for the sunrise and try not to miss shooting stars
Committing to patiently wait for better times, using celestial metaphors.
But I’m tired of wishing on magic that fades in the dark
Expressing weariness of relying on fleeting and illusory solutions.
Cuz it’s been too long
Reiterating the prolonged duration of loneliness.
Every evening, every dawn
Repeating the consistent recurrence of loneliness during evenings and dawns.
This loneliness, it comes upon me
Reiterating the inevitability of loneliness affecting the individual.
And it's grown so old
Repeating the enduring nature of loneliness, emphasizing its oldness.
All this emptiness, all this cold
Reiterating the profound emptiness and coldness associated with loneliness.
I’m not digging for sympathy or begging for gold
Reaffirming the lack of a desire for pity or material wealth.
I just want someone to hold
Reiterating the simple desire for companionship and comfort.
Ohh someone to hold
Expressing a specific yearning for someone to hold.
Ohh someone to hold
Reiterating the longing for physical and emotional connection.
