Lonely
Amp Fiddler with Sly and Robbie Lyrics

Singing for the lonely
Expressing emotions and thoughts through music for those who feel isolated and alone

You're not the only ones who feel this
Trying to convey to the listener that they aren't the only ones experiencing feelings of loneliness

So scared of what we're doing
Feeling anxious and hesitant about one's actions and decisions

All the time
This apprehension and insecurity is a constant state

Here comes wasted head-space
A reference to being stuck in one's own thoughts and feeling overwhelmed

Paranoia
A sense of distrust and suspicion towards others and their intentions

Anger, misplaced feelings
Feeling upset and frustrated about things that aren't necessarily relevant or important

Leave me nowhere
Being stuck in a negative emotional state with no clear way out

I don't wake up early in the morning
Not wanting to start the day earlier than necessary

'Cause the more I sleep the less I have to say
Feeling like there's nothing worth saying and using sleep as a way to avoid conversations

Scared of you always thinking that I'm boring
Feeling insecure about one's image and worried others find them dull or uninteresting

Stop me yawning my life away
Trying to avoid boredom and monotony by finding ways to stay active and engaged in life

Tender young confusion
Being in a state of vulnerability and confusion

Send black mariah for blue delusions
A metaphor for being taken away by authorities for one's unrealistic or delusional thoughts

Lays heavy oh so heavy
Feeling weighed down and burdened by these emotions

On my mind
These thoughts and feelings are constantly on one's mind

I'm so sick of people's expectations
Feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the demands and standards placed upon oneself by others

Leaves me tired all the time
Experiencing exhaustion and lack of energy due to this constant pressure

If your home's full of useless aggravation
If the environment around others is filled with pointless disagreements and negativity

Then don't bring it to mine
Preferably, avoiding bringing these problematic attitudes into one's own space

I seem to spend my life
Feeling like too much time is spent on certain activities or thoughts

Just waiting for the chorus
Anticipating the best or most exciting parts of life, rather than being present in the moment

'Cause the verse is never nearly
Feeling like the current situation or state of being is not good enough

Good enough
Not reaching or exceeding one's own expectations or standards

The hooligan half of me
The part of oneself that is rebellious and defiant

That steals from Woolworths
A reference to being impulsive and making poor choices

While the other lives for love
Also having a part of oneself that seeks love and connection

Singing for the lonely
Continuing to make music for those who feel isolated and disconnected from others

We're not the only ones who feel this
Acknowledging that there are others who also experience these emotions

Scared of what we're doing
Continuing to feel anxious and uncertain about one's actions and decisions

All the time
This emotional and mental state seems to never cease
