Lonely
David Donatien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am here with you
Even when you're scared
I'll never leave you
Standing in a storm
Making it insane
Once again, I will try
But you open your eyes to the sky
And whisper
[Chorus: ]
That you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely
So I'm coloring my face
While I am here with you
Imagining the landscape of your sorrow
Is it yellow or blue?
Coloring the sky, and the trees
And the clouds, and the moonlight
I'd colored your heart
If you didn't I did
[Chorus: ]
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely
And I wish you could just find home
Mmm...mmm...

However, the person opens their eyes to the sky and whispers, which implies that they are finding solace in nature and are trying to find peace within themselves.
The chorus "You're so lonely, so lonely" is a repetition of the title of the song and reinforces the idea that the person is feeling alone and isolated. In the second verse, the singer is trying to comfort the person by telling them that they are coloring their face and imagining the landscape of their sorrow. They wonder out loud if it is "yellow or blue." The singer then goes on to describe coloring the sky, trees, clouds, and moonlight, and how they would color the person's heart if they could. This verse suggests that the singer wants to help the person process their emotions and find beauty in their surroundings.
In the bridge, the singer expresses their wish for the person to find their home, implying that they find a sense of belonging and safety in the world. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, cementing the idea that the person is feeling lonely.
