The Only
Lonely Nights: Seeking Connection in a Crowded City
Lyrics
I can't be the only one
I feel like I'm not the only person experiencing a certain emotion or situation.
Who's lonely tonight
Specifically, I feel lonely tonight.
I can't be the only one
This loneliness is not unique to me; others might be feeling the same.
Who's drinking 'by myself
I'm drinking alone, emphasizing my solitude.
Wishing that I was somewhere else
I wish I were somewhere else, indicating dissatisfaction with the current situation.
Talkin' to voices in my head
I engage in internal conversations as a way to cope with loneliness.
Because at least they're listening
Voices in my head provide a form of companionship, even if it's not real.
Right here's an easy place to hide
Staying in bed and closing off from the outside world is a way to escape.
I'll stay in bed and shut the blinds
Shutting out external stimuli by closing the blinds.
Don't even know where I would go
Feeling lost and directionless, unsure of where to go.
But I know that there's gotta be somebody out there
Belief that there must be someone out there who shares similar feelings.
There's gotta be somebody somewhere
Confidence in the existence of people seeking companionship.
Who needs company
Acknowledgment of the universal need for companionship.
And it's comforting to know
Finding comfort in the knowledge that others also crave connection.
I can't be the only one
Reiteration that I'm not alone in feeling lonely tonight.
Whos's lonely tonight
Emphasizing the persistence of loneliness in the present moment.
No, I can't be the only
Repeating the idea that others share the feeling of loneliness.
One with nobody to call
Being the only one without someone to call for companionship.
This city makes me feel so small
Feeling insignificant in a crowded city.
A million people in this town
Despite the large population, a sense of isolation prevails.
But I could scream without a sound
The inability to express oneself even in the midst of a crowd.
So I could hide and pass the time
Choosing to hide rather than confront the loneliness.
Talk to someone I met online
Seeking connection through online interactions to alleviate loneliness.
To make myself feel less alone
Using virtual conversations to mitigate the feeling of being alone.
'Cause I know that there's gotta be somebody out there
Believing that there must be someone out there who understands.
There's gotta be somebody somewhere
Confidence in the existence of individuals seeking connection.
Who needs company
Reiteration of the universal desire for companionship.
And it's comforting to know
Finding solace in knowing others share the need for connection.
I can't be the only one
Reaffirming that I'm not the only one experiencing loneliness.
Who's lonely tonight
Emphasizing the ongoing nature of loneliness in the present.
No, I can't be the only
Repeating the idea that others also feel lonely.
No, I can't be the only one
Reiteration of the belief that others share the experience of loneliness.
Who's lonely tonight
Emphasizing the current state of loneliness.
No, I can't be the only one
Restating the belief that others are also lonely tonight.
Who's lonely
Affirmation that I'm not the only one feeling lonely.
No, I can't be the only
Repeating the idea that I'm not the only one.
The only
Final affirmation that I'm not the only one experiencing loneliness.
