Lonesome
ELLEGARDEN Lyrics

She looks smiley
I see a person who appears happy and joyful on the outside.

He looks friendly
I perceive a person who appears approachable and easy to talk to.

You maybe nice
I cannot determine your true nature, whether you are kind or cruel.

Don't know who I am
I am not entirely sure of my own identity and purpose in life.

She is talkative
I hear a person who enjoys speaking and sharing their thoughts with others.

He is whiner
I hear a person who frequently complains and is dissatisfied with their situation.

You are innocent
I believe you are pure and untainted, without malice or ill intent.

Don't know how I am
I am not certain of my own emotional state, whether I am happy, sad or indifferent.

She keeps talking
I am becoming increasingly aware of the incessant chatter of the person near me.

He keeps begging
I am becoming increasingly agitated by the persistent pleas of the person near me.

You are stainless
I perceive you to be pure and without any blemish or wrongdoing.

But I keep driving
Despite my misgivings and frustrations, I continue on with my journey forward.

Though I know you're the one who would end this rain
I acknowledge that you are the one who has the power to make things better and bring the rain to an end.

You make me feel like changing
Your influence on me is gradually causing me to reconsider my current situation and perspective on life.

That only makes me annoyed
Unfortunately, instead of feeling happy or motivated, your influence is actually irritating me.

Cause Grab it steal it beat them down
I have learned that life can be ruthless and unfair, and one must fight to survive or thrive by any means necessary.

You're my best friend so I'll tell you this
Because we are close friends, I feel comfortable sharing my innermost thoughts and feelings with you.

You're an angel
You are a kind and caring person who brings light and goodness to my life.

Let me feel good
I desire to experience happiness and pleasure, to enjoy life's simple pleasures.

Let me feel I am still alive
I desire to feel alive and connected to the world around me, to experience all that life has to offer.

I have learned my instinct is hiding background
I have discovered that my true instincts and desires are often hidden deep within my subconscious, and not easily recognized.

Though no one knows
Despite this realization, I keep my innermost thoughts and feelings hidden from others, keeping them to myself.

But I keep denying
I continue to resist acknowledging and confronting my true desires and instincts, choosing instead to deny them.

Cause the world is lonesome enough to me
I feel isolated and disconnected from the world around me, experiencing a deep sense of loneliness.

and the world is crazy enough to me
The world often appears chaotic and confusing to me, with people making irrational and inexplicable choices.

It keeps turning 'round and 'round and leaves me behind
Life seems to be continually moving forward, leaving me feeling stuck and unable to keep pace.

I say the world is lonesome enough
I believe that the world is already full of enough sadness and loneliness, and I do not want to add to that negative energy.

When I've got a feeling that I am behind
Whenever I feel like I am falling short or falling behind in life, unable to keep up with others.

I blame myself to have expected
I take responsibility for my own shortcomings and place the blame squarely on my own shoulders.

The way you see it through your eyes could be different slight
I acknowledge that everyone sees the world from their own unique perspective, and that my own worldview may be slightly different from others.

the world is lonesome enough to me
I am still feeling the deep sense of loneliness that I mentioned earlier.

and the world is crazy enough to me
The world still seems chaotic and confusing to me, with people often making irrational and baffling choices.

It keeps turning 'round and 'round and leaves me behind
Life seems to be continually moving forward, leaving me feeling stuck and unable to keep pace.

I say the world is lonesome enough
Once again, I reiterate my belief that the world is already full of enough sadness and loneliness, and I do not want to add to that negative energy.

the world is lonesome enough to me
I experience the same feelings of loneliness as before, still feeling disconnected from the world around me.

and the world is crazy enough to me
The world still seems overwhelming and irrational, with too many things going on to fully comprehend.

It keeps turning 'round and 'round and leaves me behind
Life continues to move forward, leaving me feeling helplessly stuck and unable to keep up.

I say the world is lonesome enough
Once again, I express my belief that the world is already full of enough sadness and loneliness, and I don't want to contribute to that negativity any further.
