Why So Lonely
Eric Mantel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the seasons pass you by will you ever wonder why, why so lonely.
And I know a place that is far away close your eyes and you?re there.
And I know a place that is far away close your eyes and you?re there.
Pretty face pretty smile can I stay with you awhile, oh so lonely.
As the years pass you by will you ever wonder why, why so lonely.
And I know a place that is far away close your eyes and you?re there And
I know a place that is far away close your eyes and you?re there.
And in the end you will see that this love you gave to me, was so lonely.
And as your life passes by. You will always question why, why so lonely.
Why so lonely Why so lonely Why so lonely Why so lonely
The lyrics to Eric Mantel's song Why So Lonely describe the feelings of loneliness and longing for connection. The song speaks to the experience of being alone, both physically and emotionally, while watching time pass by. The use of candle light in the first line indicates that the singer is alone in a dark room, perhaps waiting for someone or something to come along and fill the emptiness they feel. The repetition of the phrase "why so lonely" throughout the song suggests a sense of confusion and frustration, as the singer questions their own lack of connection and the reasons behind it.
The chorus of the song provides a sense of escape from this loneliness, with the singer describing a place that is "far away" where one can go to find a sense of peace and belonging. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for finding inner peace or a place of acceptance within oneself. The lyrics also touch on the desire for romantic connection, with the singer referring to a "pretty face" and asking if they can stay with them awhile.
