Lost in a Crowd
Fantastic Negrito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You feel your thoughts out loud
Lost in the (?) of the sound
Get through the day, don't drown
Life it goes fast, youth is gone
Feeling so lost
Come on, grieve, move on
Stuck in the shadows of a lie
That you tried to leave behind
Can't people play
Slave through the year for a holiday
Stuck in a room for too long
Waiting to hear your favorite song
Can't you see out on a ledge?
Shapeless expressions, lame, dead
Until you're fat, until you're dumb
Spend all your money 'til you come.
You travel, and you travel, trying to find it
I know that neither one of us
No, neither one of us can survive it
We travel, and we travel trying to find it
We're just people, lonely people, you and I
Get yourself, get yourself, get yourself
Stand in line, wait for your turn, don't you cry
They make the past seem nigh
You took their money, now you die
Feelings of rage, broken bones
Lost in a crowd
Now you're on your own
This is your life, now you're gone
There's no tomorrow
It's here, it's gone
Well we traveled, and we traveled, trying to find it
I know that neither of us
No, neither one of us can survive it
The Good Lord did travel, did travel trying to find it
We're just people, lonely people, you and I
We're just people, lonely people, you and I
We're just people, lonely people, you and I
La la la, la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la
Lonely people

The song also touches on themes of regret and nostalgia, highlighting the fleeting nature of youth and the difficulty of leaving behind past mistakes.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more introspective, suggesting the singer is coming to terms with their own role in their unhappiness. The lines "Can't people play/Slave through the year for a holiday" suggest a feeling of resentment towards society's expectations and the pressure to conform. However, the final lines of the song suggest a sense of acceptance and resignation, with the repeated refrain "We're just people, lonely people, you and I" driving home the idea that everyone experiences feelings of isolation and alienation at some point.
Overall, Lost in a Crowd is a poignant and introspective song that captures the complexities of the human experience. The lyrics speak to the universal themes of isolation, regret, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
