So Lonely
Good Golly! It's Mr. Nick! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I did my best
Oh how i’ve tried
So close to the line that I might as well be on the other side
Oh yeah love can be so lonely
Sometimes

And it’s taken till today
To finally find the words to say
Cos others came before and said it better than I would have anyway
Oh now love can be so lonely
Sometimes

And it feels like a war
Like a perfect goddamn storm
Like the sky is falling in and i’m the only one here to bear the load
Yeah now love can be so lonely
Sometimes
Oh yeah love can be so lonely
Sometimes

You don’t have to cry for me
I’m not asking for a symphony
Yeah I don’t need your flowers I just need your voice singing clear for me
Singing love can be so lonely
Sometimes
Yeah now love can be so lonely
Sometimes

So as the silence descends
And i’m on my own again
And out of the dark a voice starts speaking sense
Saying even love can be so lonely
Sometimes
Even love can be so lonely
Sometimes




Even love can be so lonely
Sometimes

Overall Meaning

"So Lonely" is a heartfelt song that explores the emotions and experiences of loneliness in the context of love. The lyrics express the artist's efforts and attempts to make a relationship work, but despite their best efforts, they feel isolated and distant from their partner. The line "So close to the line that I might as well be on the other side" suggests that they are at a point where the relationship feels irreparable and they are almost beyond reconciliation.

This further emphasizes the disconnect and loneliness felt by the artist, as they cannot find a way to truly convey their emotions. The lyrics also convey the sense of being trapped in a storm, where everything feels chaotic and overwhelming, and the artist bears the burden alone.


Despite the loneliness, the artist doesn't seek pity or grand gestures like flowers. Instead, they long for a simple, honest voice to reassure them that love can indeed be lonely sometimes. The final lines of the song offer a glimmer of hope, as the artist hears a voice that speaks sense, reminding them that even love can be lonely at times, suggesting that they are not alone in their experiences.


Overall, "So Lonely" presents a poignant portrayal of the complexities and struggles of love, as well as the profound sense of loneliness that can accompany it.

Oh how i’ve tried
I have made countless attempts


So close to the line that I might as well be on the other side
I am practically crossing the boundary


Oh yeah love can be so lonely
Love has the capacity to bring profound loneliness


Sometimes
Occasionally


And it’s taken till today
After a considerable amount of time


To finally find the words to say
To discover the appropriate expression


Cos others came before and said it better than I would have anyway
Because previous individuals articulated it more effectively than I ever could


Oh now love can be so lonely
Presently, love possesses the ability to induce deep loneliness


And it feels like a war
It resembles a battle


Like a perfect goddamn storm
Similar to an exceedingly destructive storm


Like the sky is falling in and i’m the only one here to bear the load
As if the entire world is crumbling and I am the sole sufferer


Yeah now love can be so lonely
Indeed, love can bring immense loneliness


You don’t have to cry for me
Your tears are unnecessary on my behalf


I’m not asking for a symphony
I am not requesting an elaborate display of sympathy


Yeah I don’t need your flowers I just need your voice singing clear for me
Flowers are not essential, but your melodious voice is all I require


Singing love can be so lonely
Expressing how love can frequently cause solitude


So as the silence descends
As the stillness envelops


And i’m on my own again
And once again I find myself alone


And out of the dark a voice starts speaking sense
A voice emerges from the darkness, uttering meaningful words


Saying even love can be so lonely
Asserting that love, too, can induce loneliness


Even love can be so lonely
Despite its beauty, love can evoke profound solitude


Sometimes
On certain occasions
