Lonely House
Embracing Solitude: Unveiling the Heartfelt Symphony of a Lonely House
Lyrics
At night when everything is quiet
At night, during a quiet time.
The old house seems to breath a sigh,
The old house appears to exhale audibly.
Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring,
Occasionally, I hear a neighbor snoring.
Sometimes I hear a baby cry,
Occasionally, I hear the sound of a baby crying.
Sometimes I can hear a staircase creaking,
At times, I can hear a staircase making noise.
Sometimes a distant telephone.
Occasionally, the sound of a distant telephone reaches me.
Oh, and when the night settles down again
When the night settles down again.
This old house and I are all alone.
During this time, the old house and I are left in solitude.
Lonely house, lonely me
Acknowledging the loneliness of the house and the speaker.
Funny with so many neighbors
Ironically lonely despite the presence of many neighbors.
How lonely it can be
Expressing the surprising loneliness experienced.
Oh lonely street, lonely town
Referring to the loneliness of the street and town.
Funny, you can be so lonely
Highlighting the irony of feeling lonely amidst a community.
With all these folks around
Despite the crowd, the speaker feels lonely.
I guess there must be something
Expressing confusion about something not understood.
I don't comprehend
There's an aspect that the speaker cannot grasp or comprehend.
Sparrows have companions
Contrasting personal loneliness with the companionship of sparrows.
Even stray dogs have a friend
Even stray dogs have companions, emphasizing the speaker's solitude.
The night for me is not romantic
Rejecting the romantic notion associated with the night for the speaker.
Unhook the stars and take them down
Metaphorically suggesting to detach the stars, indicating a desire to change the situation.
I'm lonely in this lonely house, in this lonely town.
Reiterating the speaker's loneliness in both the house and the town.
