Lonely
Finding Solace in a World Gone Mad: The Damn Truth's 'Lonely'
Lyrics
I'm standing by the sidelines
I'm on the sidelines, observing and not actively participating.
Waiting for the sunshine
Waiting for better times or positive experiences.
In the meantime
Currently, in the interim or in the meantime.
I'm kicking up the dustbin
Engaging in mundane activities, perhaps to cope with loneliness.
For a space to crawl in
Searching for a refuge or a place to escape.
I'm talking real time
Communicating in real time, being genuine.
Later on the highway
Later, on the highway, feeling isolated as no one is headed in the same direction.
no one's going my way
Experiencing a lack of companionship during the journey.
Looking for good times
Seeking enjoyable moments or positive experiences.
I spent all my cash in an alley smoking hash
Spending money on vices like smoking hash, indicating a coping mechanism.
And it's mealtime
Mealtime, a metaphor for a need for sustenance or fulfillment.
Brother can you hear me?
Asking for connection and understanding from a brother figure.
I'm lonely
Expressing feelings of loneliness.
Preacher talking crazy
Critical view of authority figures like preachers talking irrationally.
teacher calls you lazy
Teachers labeling individuals as lazy, criticizing societal norms.
You better stop crying
Encouraging resilience against emotional pain and not succumbing to tears.
You try to play their game and pretend we're all the same
Rejecting conformity and pretending to be like everyone else.
But there's no use in denying
Acknowledging the futility of denying differences.
I'm eating up your Bullshit
Rejecting insincere or deceptive information from others.
The world is going apeshit over things they could be buying
Commenting on a materialistic world obsessed with consumerism.
A hundred dollar bills will get you guns and pretty pills
Highlighting the dark side of wealth, linking money to negative influences.
but where is justice lying?
Questioning the presence of justice in society.
Brother can you hear me?
Repeating the plea for connection and understanding from a brother figure.
I'm lonely
Reiterating the feeling of loneliness.
Sister can you hear me?
Extending the plea for connection to a sister figure.
I'm lonely
Reiterating the feeling of loneliness towards a sister figure.
