Lonely Brown
American Angel Lyrics

Lonely Brown sitting on a window
The color brown is alone and stagnating on a windowsill

And he looks around
The color brown is surveying its surroundings

Seems like things are never
The color brown feels like it will never

Gonna go his way
get what it wants

The color around just seemed
The other colors surrounding brown

To leave him through another's hand
appear to have been taken away from brown by someone else

Sometimes life's so cruel
Life can be harsh

And it leaves you cold and grey
which can make one feel lonely and sad

Where do the answers lie
Where can brown find the solution to its problem

For a lonely color left here to die
As a color stranded and helpless, how can brown survive?

No one left to blend with
Brown has no peers nearby to associate with

The strength has all but left him
Brown is tired and has little energy left

Left him without the glory
Brown has lost the satisfaction of having once been important

Maybe he could tell a story
Perhaps telling a tale will help brown feel better

He only needs one chance
Brown is hoping for just one opportunity

To dance upon the plane
To be able to move freely once again

The painter he stares at the shadowless invention
The artist regards a painting without any brown hue

That he worked so hard for
Which he spent a long time creating

It shined so brilliant
The picture is flashy and attention-grabbing

But it lacked a certain need
But the artwork was still missing a vital component

You see without any brown it just seemed so distant
The absence of brown made it seem too far away

Like a grain of sand
Just like a small particle

Need an ocean's hand
That cannot thrive without the support of something vast

To help it live and breathe
In order to remain alive and functional

You ain't gonna find no sympathy
Nobody will be inclined to offer aid or comfort

All the way back home
The journey can be long and arduous

And now you're gonna walk your destiny
Now is the time to face the path laid out for you

You walked the miles for all the years
After all the labor of the past,

Now who's gonna sort all your tears
how will you deal with the emotional load that comes?

I don't wanna lose you in the sunlight
I don't want brown to change or fade away

You set the world on fire
Brown is still an essential part of the universe

And if I could just freeze these passing moments
If it was only possible to stall present moments for eternity

You'd set the world on fire
Brown would remain vital to the world

Ooh, lonely Brown, he died on the window
Eventually, brown fades away without reaching its full potential

And the world went on
The rest of existence continues unabated

He never fed the fire
Brown never provided the spark of life that was expected

Of hope the painter burned
The hope that the artist cherished was misplaced

All the color around melts into wisdom
The colours lose their vibrancy as time passes

That we all have
A discovery that everyone experiences

I hope one day that Brown
Hopefully, brown will emerge from its solitary state

Can hear his lonely song, walk on
Hear his solipsistic tale, and move on

You ain't gonna find no sympathy
In times of need, sympathy can be scarce

On your way back home
When heading back to where you come from

Now who's gonna sort all your tears
Who will aid with emotional burden?

Lonely Brown sitting on a window
Brown remains all by itself, unchanging

You set the world on fire
Despite its solitude, brown still contributes to the universe

Oh, the color around just seemed to leave him
Surrounded by vibrant pigments, brown seems to lack luster

Lonely Brown, he died on that window
Brown fades away without relishing all that life has to offer

Well, if I could just freeze these passing moments
Halting time to remain in the present moment

You'd set the world on fire
Preserve Brown's place in the world

Oh, you know
You are aware

It's gonna burn for me
For me, Brown will always be significant
