Little Girl Lost
Lo-Fi Punkrock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and goldSit there, and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there, and count your little fingers
Unlucky, little girl blue
Sit there, and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?
No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?
The lyrics of "Little Girl Lost" by Lo-Fi Punkrock depict the melancholic journey of a girl who once viewed the world with wonder and excitement but now finds herself feeling lost and abandoned. The opening lines suggest that the singer's childhood was filled with joy and innocence, represented by the merry, vibrant world of a carousel and a circus tent adorned with stars. However, as time passes, the world grows older, losing its sparkle and leaving the girl feeling disillusioned.
The repeated refrain "Sit there, and count your fingers" signifies a state of loneliness and isolation. It suggests that she has nothing else to do but focus on herself and her own feelings of despair. The mention of "Unlucky, little girl blue" adds a sense of sadness and hardship. The raindrops falling on her become a recurring motif, symbolizing both her sadness and the limited hope she has left.
The song captures the theme of lost innocence and the struggle to find solace or someone to bring her comfort. The plea for a "tender Blue boy" represents her longing for someone compassionate and understanding to help lift her spirits. However, the repeated line "No use, old girl, you may as well surrender, your hope is getting slender" suggests a resignation to her fate, as if she has accepted that finding solace may be futile.
Overall, "Little Girl Lost" portrays a poignant narrative of a once joyful girl who has been swallowed by sadness and is desperately seeking solace, but with each passing moment, her hope diminishes.
