LoneLady Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To find what I once knew long ago
A grainy detail, a former trace
And I try again just to find that place
The human frame was never built for such strength
Oh could lack a life but just so limiting
Well, I'm all on and straight on
Closer to empty space
Inside imagination, behind the dirty pane
Well, I like that it's unruly
Oh my, how I did gain
Let's go back to where we play in fear and wander
I cried a meager tear for I could see no longer
The heart of hinterland
That keeps a part of me
Hinterland
Hinterland
Oh, hinterland
Hinterland
Hinterland
Hinterland
Oh, hinterland
Hinterland, ah
Let's go back to wander
Oh, beyond the dirty window
There's a curious plain
In the dark heart of hinterland
That keeps on calling me
In the dark heart of hinterland
That's where I'll always be
Get up, stay up, get up, stay up
Pounce into the veins of the sister magic
Get up and stay up, escape
Gotta get back to the sister magic
Get up, stay up, get up, stay up
Pounce into the past of the sister magic
Get up, stay up, get up, stay up
Gotta get back to the sister magic
Hinterland
Hinterland (sister magic)
Oh, hinterland
Hinterland
Hinterland
Hinterland
Oh, hinterland
Hinterland
Dance, dance, oh, move it
Inside imagination
Behind the dirty pane
There's a light that, it's so cool to me
I'm tough as bark like the sister magic, yeah, yeah
The song "Hinterland" by the musician LoneLady talks about the desire to return to a place that the singer once knew. The lyrics describe looking through a dirty window in search of a place that exists only in memory. The singer longs to rediscover something that she once knew, but now can only see as a "grainy detail" or "former trace." The chorus repeats the word "Hinterland," which refers to a remote or uninhabited area beyond the outskirts of a city or town. The singer likens this concept to a hidden part of herself that she wishes to reconnect with.
As the song progresses, the lyrics turn to an exploration of the limits of the human body and mind. The singer notes that the "human frame was never built for such strength" and laments that life can be limiting. Nonetheless, she expresses a determination to overcome these limitations and move "beyond the dirty window" to where she can gain a new perspective. The final verse encourages the listener to "get up and stay up," to "escape" and "get back to the sister magic" of their own inner hinterlands.
In essence, "Hinterland" is a song about the search for meaning and purpose. The singer feels that she has lost something valuable and wants to find it again. The concept of the hinterland represents a kind of inner wilderness where one can explore and discover new things. The song encourages listeners to embrace their own hinterlands and to push beyond their perceived limitations in order to find something new and exciting.
Line by Line Meaning
I've put outside, beyond the dirty window
I have stepped out through the dirty window to venture outside
To find what I once knew long ago
I am searching for something familiar that I knew in the past
A grainy detail, a former trace
I am searching for a small and faint detail from my past memories
And I try again just to find that place
I keep trying to find that place from my past memories
The human frame was never built for such strength
Our bodies were not designed to handle such immense emotional strength
Oh, could lack a life but just so limiting
A life without meaning can be very restrictive
Well, I'm all on and straight on
I am fully committed and focused
Behind the barricades
I am sheltered and protected from external forces
Closer to empty space
I am getting closer to a feeling of emptiness or nothingness
Inside imagination, behind the dirty pane
My imagination is running wild behind the dirty window
Well, I like that it's unruly
I enjoy the chaos and unstructured nature of my imagination
Oh my, how I did gain
I have gained a new perspective or new knowledge
Let's go back to where we play in fear and wander
Let's revisit the place where we used to play and explore with fearlessness
I cried a meager tear for I could see no longer
I shed a small tear because I could no longer see clearly
The heart of hinterland
The core of the place I am searching for
That keeps a part of me
That still holds a piece of my past memories and identity
Get up, stay up, get up, stay up
Get energized and stay alert
Pounce into the veins of the sister magic
Jump into the mysterious and magical aura
Escape, gotta get back to the sister magic
I must leave my current reality and return to the wonderful unknown
In the dark heart of hinterland
Deep within the place I am searching for
That keeps on calling me
That continues to beckon me to return
Dance, dance, oh, move it
Let's dance and move our bodies
There's a light that, it's so cool to me
There is a shining and striking light that I find appealing
I'm tough as bark like the sister magic, yeah, yeah
I am resilient and strong like the enchanting magic

A very good friend of mine passed away recently, far too young. I’m going through all our old WhatsApp messages and leaving this message in his honour on every tune he recommended to me… on whatever platform.
RIP Nick Frewin, aka Beardo… you were more of an older brother than a friend.
We connected over music, food, humour , family and friends. I miss you already, live large wherever you are brother ❤️
