Lonely
5 Etwal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je me sens très seul au monde
Des fois je me demande, si je suis seul sur terre.
Que je cris, tjr pleure, donc ne personne m'ecoute
Donc moi je continue seul sur ma route.
Le mal nan yon ti bal, pagen moun poum danse
Music mwen al tande, sanble tout fanm marye
Lonely le swa mpaka domi paskeM santim lonely
Toujours tj tj poukom telman santim lonely...
Gen moun kigen mennaj ki pagen tan pou yo pandan pagen yon moun poum pale
Le swa mwen sot travay pagen yon moun pou mandem koman ye, kijan jounen te pase.
The lyrics to 5 Etwal's song Lonely express the feeling of loneliness and isolation despite being surrounded by people. The singer leads a solitary life and feels very alone in the world, often questioning whether they are the only one on earth. They cry and plead for attention, but no one seems to listen, so they continue on their path alone.
The second verse speaks to the inability to find contentment and happiness in music or other distractions. The singer goes out and listens to music, but it doesn't provide any solace because everyone seems to be paired off or married. They feel like they have no one to dance with or share the experience with. It's a portrayal of a deep-seated loneliness that cannot be filled by external factors.
The chorus repeats the word "lonely" multiple times, emphasizing just how pervasive and inescapable the feeling is. The singer admits that even when they are sleeping, they still feel lonely. They reflect on how there are people who have significant others, but they do not. Even at work, they have no one to talk to or share their day with. The song ultimately conveys the pain of being truly alone in the world, with no one to turn to or rely upon.
