Lonely lullaby 夜
尚雯婕 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever tried this
The food lost its taste
The cry'n lost its sound
Oh why can I still feel the pain
Cause I am lonely
So faking lonely
Cause I'm just lonely
So faking lonely

Does anybody hear me
Does anybody care for me
Has anybody tears for me
Can they even see me
Cause I'm so lonely
So faking lonely
Cause I'm just lonely
So faking lonely
Cause I am lonely
So faking lonely
Cause I'm just lonely
So faking lonely
But when you're lonely
But when you're this lonely
But when you're lonely
You feel like the only

You feel like the only one
The only one

Overall Meaning

In 尚雯婕's song Lonely lullaby 夜, the lyrics delve into the idea of loneliness and how it can be a deceptive emotion. The first verse talks about a loss of sensation in life such as food losing its taste and crying losing its sound. The singer wonders why they can still feel the pain of loneliness despite feeling numb in other areas. The chorus then goes on to explore the feeling of faking loneliness, mentioning how no one seems to be able to hear or care for them. The simple repetition of "cause I'm lonely" and "so faking lonely" drives home the depth of this feeling.

The bridge of the song adds another dimension by speaking to the uniqueness of loneliness. The line "But when you're lonely, you feel like the only one" highlights the isolating feeling that accompanies loneliness. Through the entirety of the song, 尚雯婕's vocals add to the emotional depth of the lyrics. The dreamy quality of her voice in combination with the slow tempo and ambient instrumentation make for a melancholic but beautiful listening experience.

Line by Line Meaning

Have you ever tried this
Have you ever experienced this feeling

The food lost its taste
Nothing brings pleasure or satisfaction

The cry'n lost its sound
No one listens or understands the pain

Oh why can I still feel the pain
Despite the numbness, the pain is still real

Cause I am lonely
Loneliness is the reason

So faking lonely
Even pretending to be okay is exhausting

Cause I'm just lonely
The feeling is overwhelming

Does anybody hear me
Is anyone paying attention to me

Does anybody care for me
Does anyone have concern for me

Has anybody tears for me
Does anyone feel compassion for me

Can they even see me
Does anyone notice my existence
