Mr. Lonely
Jay-Lee Lyrics

Yo!
An exclamation to grab your attention

This track is serious!
The song is not just a lighthearted tune

In fact, I might be delirious!
The artist acknowledges that he may not be thinking clearly

But you can't trust that I'm nearing this -
The artist does not expect his audience to believe that he is close to achieving anything significant

I reminisce; I think about business;
The artist reflects on his past and contemplates his current circumstances

Relevance, instead of sense, hearing things!
The artist values being relevant over making sense or being logical

I'm Shakespearean! Poems and limericks!
The artist is proud of his writing abilities and compares himself to Shakespeare

I'm sick of this; I'm resenting it;
The artist is tired of his situation and feels bitter about it

I'm irrelevant and yet presenting shit!
Despite feeling unimportant, the artist is still putting his work out there

Hella bent I'm -
The artist's thought is left unfinished

I sit and cry, I think about all the times
The artist has moments of emotional vulnerability where he looks back on his past

I whipped aside - a shrink and doubt filled my mind
The artist has dismissed professional help and is struggling with self-doubt

A tragic find, insigh-
The artist's thought is left unfinished

You mental freak - You're kinda neat!
The artist addresses someone as a 'mental freak' but still finds them interesting

A side of meat beside the drink; a cider - pink
The artist describes a food and drink pairing

I sigh relief; I mighta think about something that I'm missing;
The artist experiences a moment of relief and acknowledges a feeling of being incomplete

Fuck it something I'ma sing! I hit my notes!
The artist channels his emotions into music and tries to make the most of the situation

Embarrasing? that's crazy! I'm an athlete, I'll -
The artist dismisses the idea of being embarrassed and compares himself to an athlete

Happily concede defeat; but only when I feel the need!
The artist is willing to admit defeat, but only on his own terms

A seed so green; a budding leaf; I see a scene!
The artist uses nature imagery to describe a hopeful vision

It's me pissing on all the people close to me!
The artist realizes that he may be hurting those around him

I'll never be the perfect king, but percosets are perking me
The artist acknowledges his imperfections and alludes to drug use

And I'ma murder Burgundy with all purple parting peeps!
The artist uses wordplay to express a desire to stand out from the crowd

I sell receipts; cos I'm giving back the list of shit you gave to me!
The artist wants to return the negative things he has received from others

Anxiety, afraid to sleep; I'm sad for weeks, I feel so cheap!
The artist struggles with anxiety, insomnia, and low self-esteem

Wish I could fake the anger felt, but wait;
The artist wishes he could hide his negative emotions

It's fair to say, that's fantasy; a fare to Jay involves a taxi -
The artist jokes about his own name and makes a pun involving a taxi

Perhaps he isn't he fairly seen but anyway, I mighta said;
The artist suggests that he may not be properly understood, but continues expressing himself regardless

My mind is fucked and so's my head it mighta been;
The artist acknowledges his mental state and suggests something may have contributed to it

The Minithin! Or maybe Tylenol instead;
The artist references different drugs that may have influenced him

It coulda been the XTC or Ketamine I'm ingesting;
The artist continues to reference different drugs

It's interesting - disparaging, the things that I'm surrounded in -
The artist comments on the negative aspects of his surroundings

And some would say I'm dumb perhaps
The artist acknowledges that others may view him as unintelligent

But where's the fun in thinking that? The one's who
The artist values having an optimistic and fun outlook

Thump the ones in hats are cold when winter comes to pass!
The artist uses imagery to express a belief that those who try to put others down will ultimately fail

The worlds disintegrating fast
The artist is concerned about the state of the world

And I'm the only that's cast in iron, still, and steel I steal
The artist describes himself as tough and resilient

I sit so still behind this hill of worries that I'm buried in
The artist feels overwhelmed by his worries

I'm tryna hide from all these pills, Serotonins falling quick
The artist is struggling with depression and trying to avoid using medication

I'm worried that I'm always sick!
The artist fears that he will never be well

I'm worried that when God decides who to kill
The artist fears that he will be the one God chooses to punish

It's me he'll pick!
The artist believes that he is the most deserving of punishment

I'm the fucking crackhead prick who causes him to lose his shit!
The artist uses self-deprecating language and harshly criticizes himself

I missed all the phonies! I'm out with the homies!
The artist expresses a desire for authenticity and camaraderie

You musta bologne-d; your masters below me!
The artist dismisses those who he perceives as inauthentic and claims superiority over them

There's no way your owning! You yes-man, blow smoke in!
The artist accuses others of being subservient and not thinking for themselves

It's raining outside but you're still shook and coating!
The artist criticizes others for being cowardly

I'm noting you're broken your damage unspoken!
The artist observes that others are struggling with their own issues but not speaking up about them

Our friendship is stolen!
The artist feels that he has lost a valuable connection with someone

What once we called golden is now stomped and folded
The artist acknowledges that a past relationship has been damaged beyond repair

And that's where the hope is - it's down with our memories
The artist sees hope in the past and in positive memories

And up where our heads is!
The artist values positive thinking and an optimistic attitude

I come to my senses; I'm so fucking reckless
The artist realizes that he has been behaving recklessly

I should not have risked this! I'm off of the chain
The artist regrets taking a certain risk and feels out of control

Like a broken mans necklace!
The artist uses a simile to express his sense of brokenness

And jokes won't protect us for what's coming next
The artist reflects on the serious nature of life and the future

Pass us soap; yes a bar! 'cos I'm cleaning up, fuck this!
The artist uses wordplay to express a desire to improve and leave negativity behind

Shit, come and suck this; shaken up success!
The artist uses vulgar language and boasts about his accomplishments

It's not my main prowess, so I might make no progress;
The artist acknowledges that he has room for improvement in certain areas and may not make progress in these areas

But what makes me go less than the
The artist's thought is left unfinished

Hope that the hopeless will hope less to halt this, I'm -
The artist implies that he has hope for the future and the possibility of positive change
