I Get Lost
Ipeleng Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every day
I get lost in the early fear
The early fear of life
This world
This place is stealing laughter
It's stealing laughter
But I can't find where I need to be
In this density
To keep me alive
Mother says, "It will be okay"
But she's been saying that for a decade now
And nothing's changed
No nothing's changed
I don't know what to do about it
And I never know how to feel about it
We'll get through it together
Can barely hold it together
I get lost in the stars when I'm with you
Every day
I get lost in the early fear
The early fear of life
This world
This place is stealing laughter
It's stealing laughter
I need a home
Something to miss
A warm heart
Or a good night's kiss
Or to trade-in my empty soul
Ooh - ooh
My dreams are falling apart
Because honestly
I've never worked hard I never thought
I never thought I'd make it this far
I don't know what to do about it
And never know how to feel about it
We'll get through it together
Can barely hold it together
I get lost in the stars when I'm with you
Every day
I get lost in the early fear
The early fear of life
This world
This place is stealing laughter
It's stealing laughter
The lyrics of Ipeleng's song "I Get Lost" revolve around the notion of feeling lost in life, but finding some semblance of solace and direction through the support and presence of a loved one. The opening lines "I get lost in the stars when I'm with you, every day" suggest that the singer feels at peace and content when they are with their significant other, almost as if the world and its problems dissolve in their presence. However, the subsequent lines "I get lost in the early fear, the early fear of life" indicate that this feeling of solace is fleeting, and that the singer is still grappling with the anxieties of existence.
The lines "This world, this place is stealing laughter, it's stealing laughter" hint at a sense of disillusionment with the world, and a feeling that one's happiness is constantly being threatened or taken away. The second verse suggests that the singer is grappling with a lack of direction and purpose in their life, with lines such as "Colors change and it's bittersweet, but I can't find where I need to be in this density, to keep me alive", indicating a struggle to find one's place in the world. The repeated refrain of "I don't know what to do about it, and I never know how to feel about it, we'll get through it together, can barely hold it together" suggests a sense of vulnerability and a need for support and companionship in navigating life's challenges.
Overall, the song is a poignant exploration of the difficulties and complexities of life, and the importance of finding comfort and meaning in relationships and love.

The fear that comes with living a new day

Or a good night's kiss
The comfort of having someone to share the night with
Or to trade-in my empty soul
I want to exchange my lack of purpose for something meaningful
Ooh - ooh

My dreams are falling apart
My aspirations are slipping away from me
Because honestly
To be honest
I've never worked hard I never thought
I've never put in the effort, I never believed
I never thought I'd make it this far
I never thought I'd get this far in life
