Lost Again
Honeydogs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's time before the sun wakes up and grabs me
And drags me through another day
You think someone up there can't stand me
I guess I'm just vain
Where does it come from
You've got love
But not as much as you need
But you've lost again

There's a flame on a candle keeps burning
Wind blowing can't put it out
No fire in my house concerns me
But a spark I can't live without
I hear the wedding band
Rub your name--Rub you name out on the sand
And you've lost again

I can't face it, I've wasted
Time away from you
I feel caged in
I'm changing 'cause of time away from you
And you, and you

Fall in love everynight with someone
Like the dancer who said I was nice
but wasn't never gonna call
I'd like to go home everynight with someone
But the pictures on the mantle, won't let me sleep at all

Another lonely heart club band
well sometimes the ring is too small for my hand
yeah, and you
Lost again




yeah, and you
Lost again

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Honeydogs' "Lost Again," the singer reflects on the cycle of disappointment and heartbreak in his life. He describes feeling like he is at the mercy of the sun, being dragged through another day despite feeling like the universe is against him. The lyrics suggest a kind of fatalistic resignation, where the singer questions why they always seem to come up short, despite having some love in their life.


The second verse delves deeper into this theme of feeling trapped and restless. The metaphor of the candle flame persists, but here it takes on a more sinister tone. The singer seems to suggest that they are willing to let go of everything else in their life, except for this one spark - perhaps a symbol for passion or desire. The reference to someone rubbing out a name on the sand implies a loss or erasure, further underscoring the theme of disappointment.


The final verse expands on the singer's search for love and companionship, yet again revealing only a sense of loss and isolation. The line "Another lonely heart club band" is a clear reference to The Beatles' famous song, highlighting the similarities between the singer's struggles and those of generations past. The final line of the song conveys a sense of defeat and resignation, as the singer admits that they are lost once again.
