Lonely Is The Word / Letters From Earth
Jorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm leaving very soon
On the way we pass so close
To the back side of the moon
Hey join the traveler if you got nowhere to go
Hang your head and take my hand
It's the only road I know
I've been higher than stardust
I've been seen upon the sun
I used to count in millions then
But now I only count in one
Come on, join the traveler
If you got nowhere to go
Hang your head and take my hand
It's the only road I know
Yeah, Lonely is the word
Got to be the saddest song I ever heard
Yeah, Lonely is the name
Well it's a cold world
And I'm in the middle
Caught in the in-between
I don't belong here
So I'm writing to you
It's wrong here
Where I'm sending you some
Letters from earth, yeah
Well it's a new world
And now I'm a stranger
Stranger than you know
I don't belong here
And I'm writing to you
With blood on my hands
What if I send you madness
What if I send you pain
And letters from earth, ooh
All right
Come on it's another game
But you gotta play on
Cause they say it's just pretend
Ask them why they say you'll never, never die
Come on - the game is called the end
Yeah, Lonely is the word
Got to be the saddest sound
Got to be the saddest sound
Got to be the saddest sound I've ever heard
It s the sign feels like the time
Look out
The sky is falling down
Look out
The world is spinning round and round and round
Look out
The sun is going black, black
Look out
It s never, never, never coming back
Look Out
The lyrics of Jorn's song "Lonely Is The Word/Letters From Earth" explore the feeling of being lost and alone in the world. The singer is leaving and invites anyone who has nowhere to go to join him on his journey, suggesting that they might find companionship in their shared loneliness. The repeated refrain of "lonely is the word" creates a sense of isolation and sadness that pervades the song.
The second part of the song, "Letters From Earth," continues this theme of isolation and adds a sense of displacement. The singer is writing to someone, perhaps a loved one or a friend, from a place where they don't belong. They are a stranger in a new world, and they feel like they are caught in the in-between. The letters they send are full of pain and madness, and there is a sense of desperation in the fact that they are reaching out for help.
Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of loneliness and isolation, and the struggle that comes with trying to find a place in the world where one feels like they belong.
Line by Line Meaning
It's a long way to nowhere
This journey has no destination
And I'm leaving very soon
I'm departing soon
On the way we pass so close
We are close to a significant landmark
To the back side of the moon
We are passing by the dark side of the moon
Hey join the traveler if you got nowhere to go
Come along with me if you have no other plans
Hang your head and take my hand
Lower your head and hold my hand
It's the only road I know
This is the only path I have chosen
Oh! Lonely is the word, yeah yeah yeah!
Being alone is very depressing
I've been higher than stardust
I have reached great heights
I've been seen upon the sun
I've been seen shining like the sun
I used to count in millions then
I used to have great wealth
But now I only count in one
But now I have only myself
Come on, join the traveler
Come along and join me
If you got nowhere to go
If you have no other plans
Hang your head and take my hand
Lower your head and hold my hand
Yeah, Lonely is the word
Being alone is very depressing
Got to be the saddest song I ever heard
This is the most heartbreaking song
Got to be the saddest sound I've ever heard
This is the most disheartening sound I've ever heard
Yeah, Lonely is the name
Being alone is a dreadful thing
Well it's a cold world
The world can be a harsh place
And I'm in the middle
I'm caught in between things
Caught in the in-between
I'm stuck between two places
I don't belong here
I don't fit in this world
So I'm writing to you
So I'm sending you a message
It's wrong here
This place is not right for me
Where I'm sending you some
Where I'm sending you some letters
Letters from earth, yeah
These are letters from myself on this earth
Well it's a new world
This is a different world
And now I'm a stranger
I feel like a stranger in this world
Stranger than you know
I feel stranger than anyone knows
With blood on my hands
I have done something wrong
What if I send you madness
What if I send you my craziness
What if I send you pain
What if I send you my sorrow
All right
Okay
Come on it's another game
It's just another game we play
But you gotta play on
But we must keep playing
Cause they say it's just pretend
Because they say it's not real
Ask them why they say you'll never, never die
Ask them why they believe you won't die
Come on - the game is called the end
Come along, the game is called the end
It s the sign feels like the time
It feels like the right time to leave
Look out
Be careful
The sky is falling down
The sky is collapsing
The world is spinning round and round and round
The world is constantly changing
The sun is going black, black
The sun is disappearing
It s never, never, never coming back
It will never return
Look Out
Be careful

These DIO covers are the by far best covers i have EVER heard!
Jody Hughes
No solo??!
The solo from Iommi in Lonely is the word was EPIC
CodeDrill
@Igor Zimin Although the 2 guitarrist from Jorn Lande are 100% able to play any black sabbath solo, for some reason Jorn decided not to do the solo.
Igor Zimin
100% agree. but, alas, not everyone is able to play such solo..
AcesHiigh
Great tribute ! Long Live Dio !
David Valladares
Estoy de acuerdo, es por mucho el mejor cover de Dio que he escuchado. Además la gran voz de Jorn es la que más le hace justicia a Dio. Gracias Jorn por ese excelente trabajo!
Daniel Monte Real
Amazing!!!! Great cover !!!!
