I've Been Lonely for So Long
Longing for Light: Mick Jagger's Heartfelt Journey Through Loneliness
Lyrics
I've been lonely for so long
I have been experiencing loneliness for an extended period.
Don't seem like happiness will come along
It appears that happiness is elusive and unlikely to arrive.
Well I've been lonely for so long
Reiteration of the prolonged feeling of loneliness.
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Expressing doubt or skepticism that happiness will eventually come.
These ain't rain clouds over my head
Metaphorically describing a troubled emotional state, not just literal rain clouds.
Everybody's throwing rocks in my bed
People around are causing additional emotional distress or problems.
Just can't seem to get ahead in life
Struggling to progress in life, facing continuous setbacks.
Nothing I do seems to turn out right
Experiencing a sense of failure, as efforts do not lead to positive outcomes.
Somebody help me now
A plea for assistance or support from others.
I've been lonely for so long
Repeating the theme of enduring loneliness over an extended period.
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Expressing skepticism or a lack of belief that happiness will eventually come.
Well I've been lonely for so long
Reiteration of the enduring nature of loneliness.
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Emphasizing the apparent difficulty in finding happiness.
I lay awake most every night
Struggling with persistent thoughts during sleep, possibly related to loneliness.
Trying to figure out how to make things right
Reflecting on the challenge of finding solutions to improve the situation.
There's got to be a better way I know
Expressing a belief in the existence of a better way to overcome difficulties.
To shake this monkey off cos it's making me so
Describing a burden or problem as a metaphorical monkey causing distress.
Won't somebody help me please
Seeking assistance or relief from the challenging circumstances.
I've been lonely for so long
Reiteration of the enduring loneliness, suggesting a persistent emotional state.
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Expressing skepticism or doubt about the arrival of happiness.
Well I've been lonely for so long
Reiterating the prolonged experience of loneliness.
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Emphasizing the perceived difficulty in attaining happiness.
I've been lonely for so long
Repeating the theme of enduring loneliness, suggesting a persistent emotional struggle.
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Expressing doubt or uncertainty about the prospect of happiness.
Well I've been lonely for so long
Reiteration of the extended duration of loneliness.
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Reiterating the doubt or skepticism regarding the arrival of happiness.
