Lonely World
Echoes of Isolation: Embracing the Lonely World
Lyrics
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely world
The world is portrayed as overwhelmingly lonely.
Casts a shadow on the shallow love it hurls
The world's loneliness affects and diminishes superficial or insincere love.
To the feet of swine it need not cast its pearls
Comparing valuable emotions ("pearls") being wasted on unworthy recipients ("feet of swine").
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely world
Reiteration of the pervasive loneliness in the world.
And the sound of the void
An abstract representation of an emptiness or absence.
Flows through your body undestroyed
Emphasizing that this emptiness remains intact within the person.
And the sound of your voice
Your voice carries a certain emptiness or lack of substance.
Flows from your body, white as noise
Your voice is described as being as insubstantial as "white noise."
And the void speaks to you
An abstract concept, possibly the emptiness or void, communicates with the person.
In ways nobody speaks to you
The void communicates in ways that are unique or incomprehensible to others.
And that voice fills the air
The voice from the void becomes prevalent in the environment.
Fog in the morning going nowhere
The impact of this voice is compared to morning fog, elusive and directionless.
Lonely, lonely, lonely face under a veil
Loneliness is personified as a face covered by a veil, possibly hiding true emotions.
After all the laughter, emptiness prevails
Even after moments of joy ("laughter"), an emptiness persists.
Born into this world with no consent or choice
Highlighting the lack of choice in being born into a lonely world.
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Reiteration of the profound loneliness that exists.
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Further emphasis on the persistent and deep-seated loneliness.
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Repeating and intensifying the theme of loneliness.
