Lonely
Frente Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

am i real and what do i feel
hate is half a heart
only i am in my arms

you were sold as something to hold
nothing's as rude as the cold
stupidly beautifoolish true you
maybe madness is a heart
maybe heaven is a habit

if i could fly i'd live in the sky




i'd come from why and obviously you do too
the very start of everything hard could be the slip of a fingertip

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Frente's song "Lonely" contain messages of self-examination, heartache, and despair. The opening lines "am I real and what do I feel" alludes to the confusion and uncertainty of the singer regarding their own identity and emotional state. The next line "hate is half a heart" could indicate that the singer feels incomplete and unfulfilled. This idea is further reinforced by the following line "only I am in my arms" which could suggest that the singer is alone and cannot rely on anyone else for comfort or companionship.


In stanza two, the lyrics shift to discuss another person who was "sold as something to hold." This line could imply that the other person was objectified and used for the singer's pleasure without any real emotion or connection. The next line "nothing's as rude as the cold" suggests that the other person has now become distant, possibly as a result of the singer's actions. The line "stupidly beautifoolish true you" is likely a playful and affectionate nickname for the other person, showcasing the complexity of their relationship. The following lines "maybe madness is a heart, maybe heaven is a habit" could suggest that for the singer, love is a chaotic and irrational emotion, yet one that they crave and depend on.


The final stanza begins with another hypothetical statement from the singer "if I could fly, I'd live in the sky." This line may indicate that the singer desires escape or freedom from their current situation. The following lines "I'd come from why and obviously you do too" could refer to a mutual sense of discontent and longing for more. The closing line "the very start of everything hard could be the slip of a fingertip" is a metaphor for the fragility of life and relationships; one small mistake or misstep could trigger a catastrophic event.
