Sometimes
Lost in Desolation: A Soul's Struggle in 'Sometimes'
Lyrics
And I just feel
Expressing a general emotion or sentiment.
And I just feel
Repetition of the emotional expression, emphasizing its significance.
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Feeling a sense of abandonment or loneliness, akin to a motherless child.
And it doesn't matter if I say I love you
Stating that declarations of love may not have an impact or solve deeper issues.
No matter how good today is, at the end we just sleep in our bed
Despite a good day, the ultimate reality is the solitude experienced in bed.
There was a vision once that I know we've lost
Referring to a lost vision or aspiration.
Nothing now has a value, but it all has a cost
Highlighting the devaluation of things in life, with an acknowledgment of their inherent costs.
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Reiteration of the feeling of being motherless, possibly emphasizing the intensity of the emotion.
And you wonder why I'm drinking more and more each day
Providing a reason for increased alcohol consumption, suggesting escapism from problems.
I don't want to come home, I don't want to stay
Expressing a desire to avoid coming home and staying, indicating a strained home environment.
'Cause the world revolves around what you do and feel and think and say
Describing a self-centered world where everything revolves around actions, thoughts, and words.
And if I express myself, it just drives you away
Noting the difficulty of expressing oneself without pushing others away.
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Repeating the feeling of being motherless, reinforcing its emotional weight.
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Repetition for emphasis, emphasizing the ongoing emotional struggle.
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Continuation of the emotional expression, portraying a persistent sense of abandonment.
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Reiteration, possibly to emphasize the cyclical or recurring nature of the emotion.
(And you wonder why)

Sometimes
Repetition of "Sometimes," indicating the intermittent nature of the described feelings.
And you wonder why
Continuation of the questioning tone, adding to the complexity of emotions.
