Lost & Found
Hugh Masterson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got beat up just walking ′round town
Hold my head up, hustling on the ground
Don't know why I came here
Don′t know what I'm fight for
Somebody is showing the door
Yes somebody let me go

Well I made a big mistake
And I've made it more than once
Fell in love with a girl that broke my heart
So I cut out all the pockets from my favourite blue jeans
And I ain′t got no money and how
Well I ain′t got nobody anyhow
I'm somewhere in the middle of lost and found

You can head off or we′ll be late bound to die forever
You can head off somehow
But I'm somewhere in the middle of lost and found
I′m somewhere in the middle

Well from now on I'm living like I′m dyin'
And I tried and I tried and I ain't gonna try no more
A love like yours make a man insane
Shot put that lead shot through my brain
′Bout to put that lead shot through my brain
You can head off or we′ll be late bound to die forever
You can head off somehow
It's hard to love
It′s hard to love
It's hard to love in the middle of the lost and found

I′m somewhere in the middle of the lost and found




I'm somewhere in the middle of the lost and found
I′m somewhere in the middle

Overall Meaning

The song "Lost & Found" by Hugh Masterson is a powerful reflection on the turmoil of life and love. The opening lines of the song set the scene with vivid imagery of being beaten up and hustling on the ground, metaphorically representing the struggles of living in a harsh world. Masterson's raw vocals and honest lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and desperation as he sings about trying to find a way out of his difficult situation. The chorus conveys a feeling of being lost between two extremes: lost and found, living and dying. The singer appears to be at a crossroads in their life, unsure about the future and struggling to come to terms with past mistakes.


The second verse of the song seems to be about a failed romantic relationship that has left the singer feeling betrayed and broken-hearted. The image of cutting the pockets out of his favorite blue jeans is symbolic of having lost everything of value in his life, including his emotional and financial stability. The lyrics suggest that he is caught in a downward spiral, without money or anyone to turn to, and feels like he is on the brink of giving up altogether. The repetition of the phrase "somewhere in the middle" throughout the song creates a sense of uncertainty and instability, suggesting that the singer is struggling to find his way out of his predicament.


Overall, "Lost & Found" is a powerful song that speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost, alone or let down by life. The song's haunting melody and evocative lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person on the verge of giving up, while also offering a glimmer of hope that things may get better in the end.
