Lonely World
Acres Lyrics

Hello, how you been?
The singer greets someone who they haven't seen for a while.

I guess now ignorance is your best friend
The singer suggests that the person they're talking to is avoiding reality.

I wondered when I would see you again
The singer expresses surprise at encountering this person again.

I've been ok, Or maybe I've been feeling lost
The artist is ambivalent about their emotional state, suggesting they might be struggling.

And had no where to turn when I was afraid
The artist suggests that they lack support when they need it most.

What was your reasons?
The singer questions why the other person acted as they did.

You say that sometimes I can get too much
The other person has criticized the singer for being overwhelming or intense.

But sometimes I've been
The artist cut off mid-sentence, implying that they have been going through difficult times.

Living in a lonely world
The artist feels isolated and disconnected from others.

I watched all the colours as they start to burst
The artist observes the beauty in the world despite their emotional pain.

For something that's so beautiful
The singer acknowledges that life can be wonderful, even in times of personal struggle.

Can you imagine if we let it all just fall apart
The artist suggests that things could go very wrong if people don't take care of the world and each other.

And I feel ashamed that I'm still healing
The singer admits to feeling embarrassed about their ongoing emotional recovery.

I guess that maybe I should get some help
The singer considers seeking assistance to address their issues.

Or maybe you should have been a better friend
The singer implies that the other person could have been more supportive.

Thank you for leaving
The artist expresses relief that the other person is no longer in their life.

I had some time to clear my head so I could push you out of it
The artist suggests that being alone allowed them to deal with their emotions and let go of the other person.

The things we do, to feel alive when we've got nothing to lose
The singer reflects on the unhealthy behaviors they engaged in to feel less overwhelmed.

I sold my soul, under the pressure of the things you do
The singer suggests that someone else's actions led them to make choices they now regret.

And I take back all of the things I said before you were gone
The artist regrets their behavior toward the other person before they left.

Like all the times you watched me burn when I was falling apart
The artist accuses the other person of being complicit in their suffering.

I hope you choke on your excuses and think about
The artist expresses anger and a desire for the other person to feel remorse.

All of the things you've done that are wrong
The singer implies that the other person has acted badly.

We've got nothing to lose (all just fall apart)
The artist suggests that life can be fragile and that we need to take care of each other and our planet.

I sold my soul, under the pressure Of the things you do (all just fall apart)
Repeating a previous line, the singer reiterates that they feel they made bad choices in response to someone else's actions.
