LOST LOVE
Kalle Mattson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up high & my heart was a hummingbird
I fell into the night all my singing slurred
I tear out the sun & I spit out the clouds
But what was just the same is so much different now

Bring the bells of Babyblon
I sing another sing another sing a song
I walk alone no leaving light
But memory is a maze & I've seen the sight
Darkened halls into the hide of the night

Lost love is a liar
Lost love let me find her
Lost love is a leaving
Lost love is a feeling
And I let her go

I fell & fell for the girl on the screen
I fell for every stranger that would never leave
I fill my heart with a crucified doubt
But my name just gets crossed in & in & out out out

Bring the bells of Babylon
I sing another sing another sing a song
I'm making plans just to waste my time
I'm dreaming of the days that just pass by
Darkened halls into the hide of the night

Lost love is a liar
Lost love let me find her
Lost love is a leaving
Lost love is a feeling
And I let her go

Well late at night I need a little help just to get to sleep
I take a couple pills a chest of human heat
I was left a lush I was left for dead
Just a pretty little piece of a thickening thread
While bleeding hearts bleed a heavenly head
A pyramid piece of a blackened thread
In the dark, in the night of the dead

Lost love is a liar
Lost love let me find her
Lost love is a leaving




Lost love is a feeling
And I let her go

Overall Meaning

The song Lost Love by Kalle Mattson describes the aftermath of a painful breakup. The first verse describes the singer's state of mind, which is altered by drugs and alcohol. He is lost in the night and his thoughts are muddled. The second verse talks about his attempts to move on by falling for someone else, but it proves not to be enough. He can't escape the pain and the doubt that plagues his heart.


The chorus reveals the central message of the song: Lost Love is a liar. It tricks us into thinking that we can't live without our exes. It makes us believe that they were the only ones for us. But the truth is that we can move on and find someone better. We just have to let go of the past and embrace the present.


The bridge gives us a glimpse into the singer's coping mechanism for dealing with his pain: drugs and alcohol. He numbs himself to the pain instead of facing it head-on. He knows that it's not healthy, but it's the only way he knows how to deal with his emotions.


Overall, the song Lost Love is a raw and honest portrayal of heartbreak and the struggle to move on.
