Lost
Boy Harsher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've not been well
Been falling over

As far as I can tell
Your pulling one over

Your killing me here
Tonight
In my own room

Your taking me there
Tonight

I calm my breath
In the blur of that night
In her coat

And she smokes

She holds
Me for
A little while

Let's pretend it's easy
Not to say (why)

Now we take the famous drive
Open windows and I'm alive

I'm somebody's fool!
Can you love me
The way that I love you?
An endless ache

In your daddy's car
We can run away
Leave this town behind

Never take that hope away

Somebody's fool
I hate you

When I dream
It's your hands

But I can't
See them
In bed

My sigh
My throat
My high

When you ask me baby
Who you wanna be?
Who you wanna be?

I'm the one that holds you
In the middle night

I'm the one that wants you
Forever til we die

So it's time we take
All the memories away -

I'm the one that holds you
In the middle night

Who you wanna be?
Who you wanna be?




Who you wanna be?
Who you wanna be?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Boy Harsher's song "Lost" reflect the experience of being in a tumultuous relationship that leaves the singer feeling unwell and out-of-balance. Within the first four lines, the singer describes their physical instability and the feeling of being deceived by their partner. The partner is "pulling one over" on the singer, leading them to feel as if they are being figuratively "killed" in their own room.


Despite this unease, the singer continues to engage in a physical relationship with their partner, seeking solace and comfort in the midst of turmoil. The chorus features a plea for validation and reassurance: "Can you love me the way that I love you? An endless ache." The desire to be loved unconditionally is contrasted against a backdrop of confusion and pain.


The bridge of the song describes a brief moment of escape, symbolized by a drive with open windows. The singer feels alive in this moment but is quickly brought back to the reality of their situation. The song ends with a repetition of the question, "Who you wanna be?" suggesting that the singer is grappling with their own identity in the context of this turbulent relationship.


Overall, "Lost" is a deeply emotive and introspective song that reflects the pain of being caught in a destructive relationship. Despite the bleakness of the subject matter, the rawness and vulnerability of the singer's emotions is what makes the song so powerful and compelling.


Line by Line Meaning

I've not been well
I have not been in good health


Been falling over
I have been losing my balance


As far as I can tell
As far as I know


Your pulling one over
You are deceiving me


Your killing me here
You are causing me great emotional pain


In my own room
In the space that belongs to me


Your taking me there
You are leading me to a place


I calm my breath
I try to control my breathing


In the blur of that night
During that hazy evening


In her coat
In the clothing worn by the woman


And she smokes
She is smoking a cigarette


She holds
She embraces me


Me for
Me, for just a short period of time


A little while
A brief moment


Let's pretend it's easy
Let's act as if it is not difficult


Not to say (why)
Not to mention the reason


Now we take the famous drive
We embark on a well-known route


Open windows and I'm alive
With the car windows down, I feel alive


I'm somebody's fool!
I am someone who is foolish


Can you love me
Is it possible for you to love me


The way that I love you?
As much as I love you?


An endless ache
A constant feeling of pain


In your daddy's car
On a drive in your father's vehicle


We can run away
We can escape together


Leave this town behind
Leave this place in our past


Never take that hope away
Do not let go of that hope we have


I hate you
I have strong negative feelings towards you


When I dream
During my periods of sleep


It's your hands
It is your hands that I am dreaming about


But I can't
But I am unable to


See them
Visualize them in my dream


In bed
Lying in a bed


My sigh
The sound of my exhalation


My throat
My airway


My high
My feeling of euphoria


When you ask me baby
When you inquire of me


Who you wanna be?
What kind of person do you want to become


I'm the one that holds you
I am the one who embraces you


In the middle night
In the middle of the night


I'm the one that wants you
I am the one who desires you


Forever til we die
For eternity, or until we die


So it's time we take
It is time for us to remove


All the memories away -
All of our past recollections and experiences


Who you wanna be?
Inquiring once again about desired identity


Who you wanna be?
Repeating the same question


Who you wanna be?
Asking again

I adore the song she the subtleties in her voice (and words? My favourite by far.
Not to mention obsession which can cause self imprisonment due to the desire to give yourself over and become your partner wants.
She is definitely at war with herself. I'm betting on Boy Harsher !!

So much honesty, lack of trust, and fear of mortality in both in a physical and an emotional sense....

when you ask me baby
who you wanna be
so I'm the one that holds you in the middle of the night.
who you wanna be?

my opinion only. great song!

I'm 52 years old. I still love the old 80's synthwave music. I totally gave up on modern "kids" music until I discovered this.
This is good stuff
