Lost and Found
Eggy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll wait until my thoughts align
Like presence in a place of proof
Love is never too aloof
I found you in an open door
You danced upon a burning floor
Like amber with a storm of ants
I lost the place that I called home
It's where I gathered all alone
Like wilderness in an empty room
Love is never too in bloom
I found your letters where you lay
You used to write my everyday
Like diamonds in a pit of sand
I'd like to take your open hand
I lost my fear of losing time
The ticking clock was too sublime
Like seconds in a spell of space
Love consumes what we erase
I lost the place that I called home
It's where I gathered all alone
Like wilderness in an empty room
Love is never too in bloom
I found an inlet by the sea
The place you bore the best of me
Like sodium in a gust of wind
I'd like to learn your discipline
The song "Lost and Found" by Eggy is a reflective piece that delves into the themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. The lyrics speak to the experience of losing oneself and the things that once mattered, and subsequently finding oneself anew in unexpected places and ways. The first verse speaks of losing a dream that once belonged to the singer, and waiting for their thoughts to align, indicating a sense of confusion and uncertainty. However, the singer is still optimistic about love and believes it is always present, even if it may seem distant or aloof at times.
The second verse talks about finding someone new, represented by "you" in the lyrics, in an open door and on a burning floor. This "you" dances with abandon and freedom, striking the singer as something worth capturing in a single glance. The third verse touches on losing a sense of home and finding letters from the person represented by "you," who used to be a constant presence and source of comfort. The lyrics are juxtaposed with diamonds in a pit of sand, elevating the importance of these letters to the singer.
The chorus repeats the idea of losing oneself and home, but also emphasizes that love is never too in bloom- meaning that even when one has lost much, love will always find a way. The final verse is more positive, depicting the singer discovering an inlet by the sea- a new and beautiful place. The place where the person represented by "you" brings out the best in narrator is represented by sodium, a valuable but also unstable element. The singer expresses a desire to learn from this person's discipline, indicating a newfound sense of openness and willingness to grow.
