Lone Ranger
Lone Ranger: Embracing Heartbreak, Chasing Sunsets
Lyrics
Ain't no telling what they'd ever do with me
Ambiguity surrounds the consequences of their actions towards the speaker.
You've branded my heart so good you've ruined me
The person has deeply affected and altered the speaker's emotions, possibly in a negative way.
Your love's like tattoo ink
The love experienced is compared to permanent ink, emphasizing its indelible nature.
It ain't coming off of me
The love is enduring and cannot be easily removed or forgotten.
And even your memory would get the best of me
Even memories of the person continue to have a powerful impact on the speaker.
I'd rather be a lone ranger
The speaker expresses a preference for solitude and independence.
Better off being some lonesome sunset chaser
Being alone and chasing sunsets is considered a better alternative.
'Cause there ain't no moving on
The speaker implies difficulty in moving forward from the past.
Rather heartbreak be my friend and love be a stranger
Choosing heartbreak over a new romantic connection; preferring to keep love at a distance.
Cause if I have to ride with someone else that's not you
The prospect of being with someone other than the person in mind is undesirable.
I'd rather be a lone ranger
The preference for independence and solitude is reinforced.
Don't try to tell me there'd be another you
Dismissal of the idea that another person could replace the one in the speaker's thoughts.
I hear what you're saying, but I ain't hearing you
Resistance to accepting the possibility of someone else taking the place of the significant person.
With anybody new I'm never gonna not see you
The speaker cannot envision a future connection that doesn't involve memories of the significant person.
And all of me is all about you
The speaker's entire being is focused on the significant person.
I'd rather be a lone ranger
Reiteration of the preference for solitude and independence.
Better off being some lonesome sunset chaser
Being alone and chasing sunsets is presented as a preferable lifestyle.
'Cause there ain't no moving on
