Mr. Lonely
Angel Olsen & Emile Mosseri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm Mr Lonely
I have nobody for my own
Lonely
I'm Mr Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone
I am a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home, through no wish of my own
I wish that I could go back home
Letters, never a letter
I get no letters in the mail
Ooh, I've been forgotten, yes, forgotten
Oh, how I wonder, how is it I failed?
Ooh, I am a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home, through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr Lonely
I wish that I could go back home
The song "Mr. Lonely" by Angel Olsen and Emile Mosseri explores the theme of loneliness through the perspective of a soldier who is away from home. The lyrics express the soldier's feelings of isolation and longing for companionship. He is “Mr. Lonely,” with no one to call and nothing to look forward to but the unrelenting bleakness of his circumstances.
The soldier in the song has been forgotten by his loved ones, as he receives no letters or communication from home. His isolation is involuntary, as he is away from home due to his duty as a soldier. The lyrics convey a sense of despair, as the soldier wonders why he failed and why he cannot go back home.
The chorus "I'm Mr. Lonely" is especially powerful, as it emphasizes the soldier's solitude and the sadness that surrounds it. Overall, the song is a poignant commentary on the human condition of loneliness and the pain it can cause.

Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
Now I am so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone

this song is so beautifully sad and happy at the same time and fits perfectly with kajillionaire. i’ll never forget the scene in the movie when old dolio dances for the first time, very heartfelt and breath taking.
