Anthem of the Lonely
Casino Madrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our anthem of being lonely
Calling out to you
But no one seems to be answering
Oh God!
Oh God!
Stop the bleeding!
Oh God!
Stop the bleeding!
I'm screaming out but your not listening
Too many secrets
Too many hearts broken
I'm taking this one to the grave
The skin of an angel
The devil in disguise
It was love at first sight
Love comes when you least expect it
One prick and you're infected
Love comes when you lease expect it
One prick and you're infected
I'm screaming out
But your not listening
So this is
Our anthem of being lonely
Calling out to you
But no one seems to be answering
Blacked out!
Fill the void!
I need help!
Kill the noise!
Oh!
We party all night!
We sleep all day!
Oh!
We party all night!
We sleep all day!
Oh!
Another shot
Down the hatchet
Another shot
Down the hatchet
The lyrics of Casino Madrid's song Anthem of the Lonely portray the feeling of being alone despite reaching out to others for help, but not finding anyone to answer. The repetition of the phrase "Oh God! Stop the bleeding!" represents the need for someone to come and rescue the singer from their loneliness and pain. The line "I'm screaming out but you're not listening" further emphasizes the feeling of being unheard and ignored by those around them. The reference to "too many secrets" and "too many hearts broken" suggests that the singer has been hurt before and is wary of trusting others again. The use of the phrase "love comes when you least expect it, one prick and you're infected" has a double meaning, referring both to the pain of heartbreak and the potential danger of contracting a sexually transmitted infection.
Overall, the song is a dark portrayal of the struggles of loneliness and the desire for human connection. The lyrics are raw and emotional, perfectly capturing the feelings of isolation and desperation that many people experience at some point in their lives.

People just get excited for new bands, including new albums. If it's been a while since their last album, they move on. Atleast that's what I do, and this is my new favorite band
