Lyrics
Have you ever been to lonely places?
Reflecting on experiences in isolated or desolate places.
Where no one knows your name
Feeling unnoticed or anonymous in unfamiliar surroundings.
Have you ever smiled to someone you don't know?
Smiling at a stranger without receiving a reciprocal smile.
And didn't get a smile in return
Not getting a positive response when extending kindness.
Have you ever seen an old man crying?
Witnessing an elderly man expressing sorrow over lost love.
Because he lost the woman that he loved
Observing emotional pain caused by the end of a significant relationship.
Have you ever heard your best friend lying?
Discovering that a close friend has been dishonest.
Because the truth is something he has never known
Realizing that the friend is unfamiliar with the concept of truth.
Did you ever feel the urge to fly away?
Feeling the desire to escape but facing obstacles.
But you couldn't get out the door
Experiencing a sense of entrapment or limitation.
Have you ever spent a night alone?
Spending a night alone, yearning for someone's presence elsewhere.
Hoping that she's out there, somewhere
Hoping for a connection with a distant person during solitude.
Have you ever seen the day turn into night?
Witnessing a sudden and stark transition from day to night.
When the sun is highest in the sky?
Experiencing a disorienting moment when the sun is at its zenith.
Do you ever think of people who have died?
Contemplating the impact of departed individuals who aimed for change.
Trying to make a difference in the world
Attempting to make a positive impact but facing criticism.
Have you ever saved the day with a fair fight?
Being a hero in a fair fight but not receiving acknowledgment.
But no one ever said that you were right
Frustration at not being recognized as right despite heroic actions.
Did you ever feel like breaking down and cry?
Feeling overwhelmed and wanting to break down emotionally.
Because your burden is too heavy now
Bearing a heavy burden that brings one to tears.
You've done well so far
Encouragement for enduring challenges successfully.
You don't have to cry
Reassurance that crying is unnecessary after overcoming difficulties.
Just breathe and start it all over
Advice to take a breath and start anew after facing challenges.
Did you ever want to leave it all behind?
Contemplating leaving everything behind to escape nightmares.
And erase all the nightmares from your mind
Desiring to eliminate haunting memories and thoughts.
Did you ever have the need to feel alive?
Longing to feel alive after a prolonged period of emotional numbness.
Because for so long you've been dead inside
Expressing the emotional deadness endured for an extended period.
