Lost
Boy Harsher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been falling over
As far as I can tell
Your pulling one over
Your killing me here
Tonight
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?
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.

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
