Lose Yourself
Julie Collings Lyrics

In "Lose Yourself," Julie Collings talks about the uncertainty of relationships and the need to escape. The song has a haunting melody that is reinforced by the lyrics. It starts with a scene of a town where people are working hard each day to survive. The narrative around winning each daily battle seems to be hinting at the struggles of the human condition. Julie goes on to talk about a failed attempt to contact someone she cared about, questioning their motives for being distant. The idea of losing oneself in the night comes up as a way to cut off and escape from the day's strife, finding solace in a lover's arms. Even though the hug between them is silent, it's the moment they've been waiting for, and they don't need to say goodbye anymore.

The lyrics of "Lose Yourself" can be interpreted in different ways, and one of these interpretations is that the song is about finding someone who has been elusive in the past. In this case, the line, "Occupied, you missed my call, I don't know if you know me at all" could be speaking of an individual who was too busy to notice her when they were together or perhaps was not interested. She, however, offers a chance to connect again in the lines "Lose yourself in the night, I will find you in the morning." The chorus also suggests the need to escape from the difficulties and struggles of life into someone's embrace.
