Lost
Donkeyboy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If we were lovers would it be too much?
I wonder what heaven could come at that cost
With so many hours from the dead untouched
Wishing I could be you
Ohh I could be you

I'm free but I'm stuck in hard luck
I'm sinking like a rock 'cuz I'm tied up
Got everything I need, but it's never enough
So get me to a place I can wake up

I wish that I could be lost
In the bitter sweet taste of
I wanna follow
I wish that I could be lost
In the bitter sweet taste of you

I feel like gravity is bringing us down
We should be flying up above the ground
A fit of a future, well that ain't coming soon
We got nothing to lose, got nothing to lose

I'm free but I'm stuck in hard luck
I'm sinking like a rock 'cuz I'm tied up
Got everything I need, but it's never enough
So get me to a place I can wake up

I wish that I could be lost
In the bitter sweet taste of
I wanna follow
I wish that I could be lost
In the bitter sweet taste of you
I wish that I could be lost
I'm hanging here on the edge of tomorrow
I just wanna be lost
I wanna be lost with you
I wanna be lost with you
I wanna be lost with you
You make it hard for me

I wish that I could be lost
In the bitter sweet taste of
I wanna follow
I wish that I could be lost
In the bitter sweet taste of you
I wish that i could be lost
I'm hanging here on the edge of tomorrow




I just wanna be lost
I wanna be lost with you

Overall Meaning

The song "Lost" by Donkeyboy explores the idea of longing for something or someone that seems unattainable. The opening lines, "If we were lovers would it be too much? I wonder what heaven could come at that cost" expresses the singer's desire to connect with someone in a deeper way, but also their hesitation and fear of what could come with it. The line "With so many hours from the dead untouched, wishing I could be you" could be interpreted as the singer feeling like they are wasting their time on things that do not bring them fulfillment, and they wish to be someone else, possibly the one they are longing for.


The chorus "I wish that I could be lost in the bitter sweet taste of you" repeats the theme of longing for this person, even if it may not be attainable. The second verse talks about feeling stuck and sinking, despite having everything they need. The line "A fit of a future, well that ain't coming soon" implies that the singer may not see a way out of their current situation, and they are trapped in the present. The repeated line "I wanna be lost with you" at the end of the song reinforces the theme of wanting to be with this person, even if it may be difficult or impossible.


Overall, the song captures the feeling of wanting something that may be out of reach, but still longing for it nonetheless. The lyrics are relatable and express a universal human emotion.
