Live
Live ... feelings
Live
Live ... feelings

Sola I hope,
I feel alone
And my loneliness end,

And my life will begin
Not too long,
Love of my life
Because I'm going to die

Live ... feelings

The artist admits to feeling alone and hoping for an end to her loneliness, but also looks forward to a love that is coming soon. The line "because I'm going to die" seems to serve as a reminder to make the most of life while it lasts.

The song captures the essence of the human condition: the desire for connection, the fear of loneliness, and the hope for a better future. Its simplicity and repetition create a powerful message that lingers even after the music has stopped. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost or alone, and reminds us of the value of living and feeling deeply.

Don't hold back emotions, express and feel them

Sola I hope,
I am hoping to overcome loneliness

I feel alone
Currently experiencing feelings of loneliness

Not too long,
Hopeful for a relatively short period of loneliness
