Sorrow
Hare Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is sometime stupid
It looks like a big joke
Is it raining or is it snowing?
Are you listening to me?
Everyone is alone everywhere
I...stop...tell you...stop...love me...stop...sorry

I can feel this sorrow!

My consciousness is breathing as a child
My happiness looks like a whip
I have to find another way
To teach you who I am
My madness, my greatness
Have...I...to...tell you...that...I'm...sorry

I can feel this sorrow!

I can feel this
I can feel this
I can feel this




I can feel this
I can feel this...

Overall Meaning

In Hare's song Sorrow, the lyrics are powerful as they express the feeling of loneliness and the struggles of the human condition. The first two lines convey the sense that life can seem meaningless and absurd at times, and that it's difficult to discern what's really happening. The next line asks the audience if they are listening, signaling the sense of isolation that the singer feels. The fourth line "Everyone is alone everywhere" shows how loneliness is a universal feeling that everybody experiences, and the singer is no exception.


The following verse portrays an individual in the process of knowing oneself. The lines "My consciousness is breathing as a child" suggest that the singer is seeking to explore their inner self with childlike curiosity. "My happiness looks like a whip" shows the frustration and paradox of feeling trapped by one's own happiness. The singer is aware of the situation and knows they must take different steps to communicate who they are. The final lines beg for the option to express themselves and, most importantly, hope for forgiveness.


Overall, Sorrow is a song that implies deep emotional vulnerability and introspection. It apprehends universal emotions while distressing the individual experiences of its audience.
