The Last Lonely Boy
Echoes of Solitude: The Last Lonely Boy's Night Symphony
Lyrics
I hear lovers the next room over
Observing the sounds of lovers in an adjacent room
Beating hearts banging on the wall
Perceiving the intense heartbeat-like sounds of passion
Loneliness amplifies their wordless whining
Feeling intensified isolation accentuating their inaudible complaints
While I lay here in the dark
Lying alone in darkness
The bottle's empty, she let me down again
Being disappointed by someone who once treated them kindly
She used to treat me so sweet
Recalling how the person used to be affectionate
God forbid I get numb enough to sleep
Expressing a reluctance to become emotionally numb for sleep
Or just dumb enough to weep
Or too emotionally overwhelmed to cry
Shadows shambling down the hall
Seeing shadows moving along the corridor
I see movement through the cracks of the door
Noticing movement through the door's gaps
I'm the property of 4 AM
Feeling like they belong to the early hours of the morning
Broken, broke and ignored
Feeling shattered, financially strained, and disregarded
Now the lovers, they're arguing
Recognizing the quarrel of the lovers
Their noises keep me company
Finding solace in the noise, as it distracts from loneliness
I sit up, cruel and enthralled
Reacting with a cruel fascination to their distress
Their misery is sweet relief
Deriving a perverse comfort from their suffering
I might be the last lonely boy in the city tonight
Feeling like the sole lonely person in the city at that moment
Everybody else is making love amid the aurora of the city lights
Noting everyone else seems engaged in romantic endeavors under the city's lights
Feelings overwhelm and they come on swift
Experiencing overpowering emotions suddenly
It's been a while since I felt missed
Realizing it's been a long time since feeling wanted or missed
And I'm the last lonely boy in the city tonight
Reiterating the feeling of being the only lonely person in the city at that moment
