Jens Buchert (the.madpix.project) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A lifetime back
Across the desert
In a deser where no one can explain
You tell me God is dancing in the rain
CHORUS
I can hear the echo
A lonely voice behind a door
Can you hear me calling
>From a world away
A lonely voice behind a door
I keep looking back
Traditions back
Across the centuries
In a century where no one can explain
You tell me God is dancing in the rain
CHORUS
As I stare ahead
A dream ahead
Across the ocean
Cross an ocean where there's nothing to explain
You tell me God is laughing in the rain
The lyrics to Jens Buchert's song "Lonely" express the feeling of isolation and searching for meaning in the world. The singer is looking back on their past and trying to make sense of it all. They mention looking back through the desert and traditions of past centuries, both of which are vast and seemingly endless. The desert represents a lack of clarity or understanding, and the traditions represent a set of beliefs that may not be relevant or applicable to the present.
Throughout the song, the singer is searching for something to believe in or hold onto. They mention God dancing and laughing in the rain, which represents a sense of joy and playfulness amidst the struggles of life. They also mention a lonely voice behind a door, which could represent their own voice or the voice of someone else who is also searching for meaning.
Overall, the lyrics evoke a sense of longing and questioning, but also a glimmer of hope and possibility. The music itself is dreamy and ambient, which enhances the feeling of floating in an endless sea of thoughts and emotions.

I keep looking back
I keep contemplating the past
A lifetime back
Reflecting on my entire life
Across the desert
Through my struggles and hardships
In a deser where no one can explain
In a place where no one understands
You tell me God is dancing in the rain
You believe there is still hope and happiness in difficult times
CHORUS
Refrain
I can hear the echo
I hear the reverberations of my own voice
In a maze of words
Amongst confusing and complex language
A lonely voice behind a door
My isolated voice from within
Can you hear me calling
Can someone hear my plea?
>From a world away
From a distant and far-off place
A lonely voice behind a door
My isolated voice from within
I keep looking back
I keep fixating on the past
Traditions back
Reflections on consistent customs and beliefs
Across the centuries
Through many long years
In a century where no one can explain
In a time period where there are few answers
You tell me God is dancing in the rain
You believe there is still hope and happiness in difficult times
CHORUS
Refrain
As I stare ahead
I gaze forward into the future
A dream ahead
An aspiration lies ahead
Across the ocean
Through great physical and mental distance
Cross an ocean where there's nothing to explain
Across to a place where many things are unexplainable
You tell me God is laughing in the rain
You maintain that there is still joy and hope within hardships
