Sad and Lonely
Bang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A sad and lonely face
Standing in the doorway
To a sad and lonely place
Heard you softly weeping
Sad and lonely cries
You turned and looked right through me
Through sad and lonely eyes
You looked right through me
You looked right through me
Your looking through me
You looked right through me
Didn't plan to know you
Your sad and lonely tale
Hiding in your sorrow
A sad and lonely veil
I have no words to say to you
No soothing lines to give
In sad and lonely times like this
Sometimes it's hard to live
Just a sad and lonely soul like you
A sad and lonely world
You looked right through me
You looked right through me
Your looking through me
You looked right through me
No need to be alone tonight
Don't try to walk away
Sometimes it's hard to push ahead
Start another day
Won't you Take my hand
Hold it tight
Let sad and lonely fade away
Drift into the night
Just a sad and lonely soul like you
A sad and lonely world
The song "Sad and Lonely" by Bang opens with a vivid portrayal of someone who is lost in their own world of despair. The singer has noticed this person, presumably a stranger, with a "sad and lonely face" standing in the doorway of a similarly sad and lonely place. They can hear this person crying softly, and despite being looked right through with "sad and lonely eyes," the singer feels a connection to this person.
Amidst the verses, the singer reflects on how they did not plan on getting to know this forlorn stranger, but how their sorrow is hiding them behind a veil. The chorus repeats the line "you looked right through me," which could be interpreted in a few different ways - perhaps the stranger is so caught up in their own emotions that they aren't acknowledging the singer's presence, or maybe the singer feels like they can see into the stranger's soul.
The final part of the song introduces a glimmer of hope, as the singer suggests that the stranger doesn't need to be alone on this sad and lonely night. They offer their hand and urge the stranger to hold it tight and let the sadness fade away. The song ends with the assertion that they are just "a sad and lonely soul like you" living in a "sad and lonely world," establishing a sense of solidarity and empathy for anyone experiencing similar emotions.
