You Shouldn't Be Lonely
Element of Crime Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
come down over you,
when you wanna burst into tears,
when your nightmares come true,
when there's no friend in sight,
who's got time to spare
and someone should dry your eyes,
then I will be there
You shouldn't be lonely, sister,
when you feel blue
Just give me a phone call, sister,
and I'll cry with you
I'm your younger brother – only –
but I know what it means to feel lonely
when someone has broken your heart in two.
I heard he has left you
I heard he has gone
I pity him sister
I don't think he knows what he's done
He didn't deserve you
He's such a fool
I'm gonna kick him in the balls,
if that's what you want me to do
This is a cruel world,
as cruel as can be,
but I try to soothe you
You'd do the same thing for me
The song "You Shouldn't Be Lonely" by Element of Crime portrays an intimate conversation of siblings dealing with loneliness and a broken heart. As the song starts, the singer reassures their sister that they won't be alone when they are sad and overwhelmed. They offer a helping hand, someone to lean on when the rest of the world seems indifferent. The singer provides their support against feeling lonely and assures their sister that they will always be there for her. The chorus emphasizes their relationship and bond, calling her to reach out to them and cry her heart out. The singer acknowledges that they aren't older or more experienced, but understands the pain of feeling lonely.
The second verse talks about the sister's heartbreak, which the singer alludes to when they say "someone has broken your heart in two." The singer commiserates with their sister and tries to console her, saying that they have heard about the man who hurt her and that they don't think he deserves her. They even offer to take some physical action against him as a show of support. The singer reminds their sister that the world can be cruel, but they will do their best to comfort her, knowing fully well that their sister would do the same for them.
The song shows the beauty of sibling relationships: the loyalty, intimacy, and understanding that comes with being family. It touches on the compassionate support offered in times of loneliness, the pain of heartbreak, and the importance of having someone to lean on. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we can find comfort in the ones closest to us.
