Only the Lonely
Heads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And Charlie Chance
Mocks castles in the air
And - bang - romance
It rocks his cradles of despair
Only the lonely
Homely sentiment
Only the lonely
I not gonna see you anymore
And I am cryin'
I don't want to see you anymore
But I might be lyin'
Miss Hard he hunts
Her sikhs will not suffice
Bad Batter bunts
Willy Meek speaks of self-sacrifice.
His muse sick, it pays
How much now cost is the balance
The musician prays
'Cause his touch now is lost as his talents
I'm not gonna see you anymore
And I am cryin'
I don't wanna see you anymore
But I might be lyin'
No, I know. Oh! Now, I won't let go
Oh, I know. I won't let you go
And Charlie Chance
Makes castles in the air
And - bang - romance
It breaks his cradles of despair
Only the lonely
Blowing leaves in the gusts
Only the lonely
Loathing leaves disgust
I don't wanna see you anymore
And I am cryin'
I don't wanna see you anymore
But I might be lyin'
In "Only The Lonely" by The Heads, the lyrics describe a sense of longing and despair for someone who is no longer there. The opening lines mention Charlie Chance, who dreams of a grandeur that he cannot achieve. Bang! Romance shatters his dreams are quickly and he is left to wallow in sorrow. The chorus repeats that only those who are lonely can understand the sentimental emotions that come with losing a loved one. The lyrics convey the feeling of homesickness that haunts us when we miss someone who used to be close but has gone away. The lines "Only my detriment, I'm not gonna see you anymore, and I am crying" express the idea that missing someone can sometimes be painful, but we still cling onto the hope that maybe they will come back one day.
The second half of the song introduces characters like Miss Hard, whose desires are unattainable and whose goals are inadequate. The lyrics suggest that despite the efforts that people put into their lives, they do not always get what they want. Also, the line "Loathing leaves disgust" alludes to a sense of hopelessness and disgust when we realize that our hopes and dreams are not materializing. The song ends with a sense of determination, and the last lines "I won't let go, I won't let you go" suggest that even though the person is gone, they still have a place in our hearts, and we refuse to let go of them.
