Lost
Endless Melancholy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walk down the street and all I can see
Is people taking pictures of what they're 'bout to eat
Did you even notice the girl sitting across from you?
I sit in your room with nothing to do
Victim to the screen between me and you
Guess there's somebody else that you'd rather be talking to

Hold on, time out, help me

Cause right now I wanna get lost in this moment
Keep both my eyes open
Nothing to prove, let's keep this to ourselves
And yeah, this connection has caught my attention
I don't wanna share this with anybody else
I wanna get lost, and I wanna get lost

We go out to shows but why do we go
If we're only gonna see it through the screen on our phones?
If we're all here together then why are we watching alone?
The world's so much bigger than posing for pictures
If all that we need's at the tips of our fingers
Then how did this happen that we all fell so out of touch?

Hold on, time out, help me

Cause right now I wanna get lost in this moment
Keep both my eyes open
Nothing to prove, let's keep this to ourselves
And yeah, this connection has caught my attention
I don't wanna share this with anybody else
I wanna get lost

Tell me how it feels cause I know the hardest part
Is when you're holding something real, you can see it in the dark
I'll tell you how it feels and here's the hardest part
If you wanna reach for something real, you gotta see it in the dark

I wanna get lost in this moment
Keep both my eyes open
Nothing to prove, let's keep this to ourselves
And yeah, this connection has caught my attention
I don't wanna share this with anybody else
I don't wanna share this with anybody else





I wanna get lost, I wanna get lost, and I wanna get lost

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Lost" by Endless Melancholy are a reflection of the disconnect that people experience in a world where technology dominates our everyday lives. The first verse describes walking down the street and seeing people taking pictures of their food, but not paying attention to the people around them. The singer then sits in a room with someone who is more interested in their phone than being present in the moment. The chorus urges the listener to live in the present and get lost in the moment, without feeling the need to prove or share anything with anyone else.


The second verse questions why people go to shows and events, only to watch them through the screens of their phones. The lyrics suggest that we are watching things alone, despite being surrounded by others. The singer points out that the world is much bigger than taking pictures, and that we are all out of touch with each other despite being so connected through technology.


The bridge of the song is a plea for people to open up and connect with each other in the "real" world, even though it can be difficult and scary. The chorus repeats the message of the song, asking the listener to get lost in the moment and enjoy it without feeling the need to share or prove anything to anyone else.


Overall, "Lost" is a commentary on the way technology can make us feel disconnected from ourselves and others, and a reminder to live in the present and connect with the people and experiences around us.
