Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hunter's song "Loneliness" seem to convey an individual's struggle with loneliness and their ability to cope with it. The opening lines urge the listener to surrender to the night and dream with silence. This signifies the idea that in moments of loneliness, it is vital to turn inward and find solace within oneself.


The following lines urge the listener to let the dark flood in, but at the same time, there is no time for violence. This juxtaposition portrays the idea that while one must acknowledge their loneliness, it is crucial not to let it consume them and instead find alternative ways to cope with their solitude. The chorus emphasizes the idea that loneliness fades in the darkness, but grows with brightness, signifying the cyclical nature of loneliness.


The latter half of the song urges the listener to let others hear their rights, and not stay quiet anymore, which may signify that the song wants to convey that loneliness can be alleviated if one can express themselves to others who are willing to listen. The final lines suggest that loneliness can take a toll on someone even when they are surrounded by people, and it can be a terrifying experience. Overall, the lyrics to Hunter's song "Loneliness" convey a sense of acceptance of one's loneliness while also urging the listener to find ways to cope and connect with others.

Remember me
Remind me the last time
Remember peace
And when the tides were low

But now you're gone
I'm lost by the wayside
It's been so long
I can't but fight to breathe

Is that you in my head?
Have you woke from the dead?
Or is it loneliness?

It's all I see
The light of a past life
Alone to bleed
I am without release
You set me free
To wander the shoreline
Or is it me?
Too proud to speak the need

Where is the fire you gave me?
All of the weight to remind me
Of all that we were
How long till I turn?

Is that you in my head?
Have you woke from the dead?
Or is it loneliness?

Is that you in my head?
Have you woke from the dead?
Or is it loneliness?

Is that you in my head?
Have you woke from the dead?
Or is it loneliness?

Is that you in my head?
Have you woke from the dead?
Or is it loneliness?

Romans 15:13 13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
I get the same thing a lot. ;) Song reminds me of my dad who passed away last year and when I miss him a lot. We are both musicians he played drums his whole life, I play guitar. We rocked together a lot.....anyrate I feel like the "or is it loneliness" is like a rhetorical question.....cuz its like "have you woke from the dead......or is it just loneliness?" which....(it probobly is....just loneliness....) in all reality and truth........... Hes not an angel or a guardian angel floating around me or anything........ we dont turn in to them when we die......so i kinda feel like those depressing lamentations that go thru my mind sometimes are not him, its just my own loneliness and my own mind trying to trick me into being depressed. ....because i will see him again one day...(and hear from him).....just not on this side of the realms....and in that....i cant let the loneliness destroy me....and turn me...

but, maybe... on the other side of the token (i am just speculating here ;)
maybe its written about a time when somebody felt like they have abandoned god? or that they felt abandoned and were struggling with their feelings in that and trying to take their thoughts captive in saying "is it just lonelines?" like......"well its probobly just loneliness" ..
......maybe the "how long till i turn part"......reminds me of turning into a vampire or a zombie or something of darkness.....so in that... the person is lamenting that somebody is gone....and because they are gone...they feel like they are going to turn into something of darkness maybe? just a thought ;) like now that your gone you were the only thing between me and being turned.....
anyways, long post, song means a lot to me in all the different ways i view it when im listening to it......thanks demon hunter for the awesome song....i appreciate being able to focus emotional energy into listening and letting it flow thru me.....ive put down a lot of bands i listened to when i was younger because i let them...."flow thru me".....
cool thing is i feel like i can trust demon hunter (in this regard) as well....
PS. awesome show in houston, was my first and i discovered you guys after my dad passed away february 2019. yall's content has touched my heart and helped me a lot in quitting drinking and pointing me back towards God..
. And the crowd at the show and the fans were so cool and full of light....yall are truly special.....God bless Demon Hunter....keep it coming!

SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT FROM GOD

HOW IMPORTANT IS ETERNITY TO YOU?

There is one God, eternally existing in three co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Deuteronomy 6:4
KJV
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:

Matthew 28:19
KJV
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Ephesians 4:4-6
KJV
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Colossians 2:9
KJV
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

1 John 5:7 KJV
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.


For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23. In fact in Romans 3:9-20 the Apostle Paul gives a very negative view of each and every one of us. He says there is none righteous, none that doeth good, unprofitable, none that understandeth, liars, destruction and misery are in our ways.

All the world is guilty before God (Romans 3:19). It is God’s law that declares each and every one of us as guilty before him, and therefore as Paul declares by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight. The word “justified” means to be found free of guilt. The law cannot justify us because it’s the very thing that declares our guilt.

Romans 3:9-20
KJV
9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

17 And the way of peace have they not known:

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.


God is a just and righteous judge. God must be legally and morally right in all that he does. His righteousness and justice will not allow Him to justify a guilty man, therefore the dilemma is how can God justify the guilty and he himself remain just?

Hell is a hot holding place of torment where UNRIGHTEOUS Guity unjustified soul's Go then for eternity for there sins it's called the second death Hell will be thrown into a lake of Fire in the future and the Guity unjustified into the lake of fire also (Second death) for Sin for everlasting destruction scary stuff God is to be FEARED and believed.


Revelation 20:14
KJV
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.



Revelation 21:8
KJV
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.



But there is Hope

Romans 6:23

KJV

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

God’s righteousness without the law has been revealed Romans 3:21
KJV
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;.

And this righteousness is revealed in the gospel of Christ Romans 1:16-17
KJV
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.. This gospel is defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, as “how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; (Shedding he's BLOOD for us)And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures”.(God raised Jesus Christ from the dead Bodily and he saw no corruption)

Acts 13:37
KJV
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

And this gospel now declares God’s righteousness “that he might be JUST and the JUSTIFIER of him which BELIEVETH in Jesus (Romans 3:26).

Therefore, God’s Son (Fully Human without Sin and Fully God Born from the Virgin Mary) the Lord Jesus Christ took, our guilt upon himself and died under our own condemnation to appease the justice and righteousness of God (Romans 3:25), and now God will FREELY justify any man (Romans 3:24) who simply believes the gospel of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ,

Romans 3:24-26
KJV
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.



Ephesians 1:13

King James Version
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,


And if you believe the gospel(1 Corinthians 15:1-4 )you are now secured in Christ sealed and have the promise of the Spirit and the gift of eternal Life not appointed to everlasting destruction and
According to the Word of God you can not lose salvation so no hell for the Justified. But it's God who justifies the ungodly you can not justify yourself by being Good enough or performance for example and the Word of God confirms your security everlasting life appointed to heaven with God to the saved
Because God cannot Lie Trust him.



What must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved (Acts 16:30-31). Religion tells you to do something, God says his Son did it all, believe on him.

at least yours didn't leave for a jackass and immediately murdered for it. It's been 16 years and I'm still processing that one.

@Pokefan3332

Also in the same boat. Been a year. I've since became happier. What was, was. What is, will be.

@madd4455

Been going on nearly 4 years and this song still hits hard. Can't say that I'm happy she's gone but what can be done? Absolutely nothing. Hopefully, your journey to recovery is going good.
