LostAlone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is what its like when its all done and over
I clothed myself in the sentiment of trust
I was losing I was out of control
I'm just happy that its over
This is what its like when you're lost and you are over
This is what its like when you're lost and you are over
This is what its like when you're lost and alone
I'm just happy that its over
I'm still breathing without reason
In time I will recover feeling
Sin and virtue I hold onto
On and on and on and on and
This is what its like when you're lost and alone
And the creature that you are is this creature you own
I'm just happy that its over
I'm at peace in this explosion
And the creature love inspires takes over.
The lyrics to LostAlone's song "Creatures" seem to be reflecting on the aftermath of a difficult experience, possibly a breakup or a personal struggle. The singer is relieved that it's over but also acknowledges the sense of loss and disconnection that comes with it. They describe themselves as a "creature" that is all they own, which could suggest a feeling of being lost and unsure of their identity without the relationship or situation they have just left behind.
Despite this sense of being lost, the singer also expresses a faith in their ability to recover and move forward. They hold onto both "sin and virtue," suggesting a recognition of their own flaws and weaknesses as well as their strengths and virtues. In the end, the singer seems to find solace and inspiration in "creature love," perhaps a metaphor for a deeper, more authentic kind of connection that they hope to find in the future.
Overall, the song portrays a complex mix of emotions around the experience of loss and moving on. The lyrics suggest that it can be a painful and confusing process, but also one that holds the potential for growth and transformation.

I'm just happy that its over
Expressing relief that a difficult situation has come to an end
This is what its like when its all done and over
Describing the feeling of closure after a challenging experience
I clothed myself in the sentiment of trust
Putting faith and confidence in someone or something
I was losing I was out of control
Feeling helpless and unable to manage one's circumstances
This is what its like when you're lost and you are over
Describing the emptiness and confusion felt after reaching the end of a difficult road
This is what its like when you're lost and alone
Expressing the feeling of disorientation and isolation after a hard journey
And the creature you are is all that you own
Embracing the darker parts of oneself and accepting them as part of one's identity
I'm still breathing without reason
Existing without a clear purpose or direction
In time I will recover feeling
Hoping to regain emotional connection and sensitivity over time
Sin and virtue I hold onto
Clutching to both good and bad aspects of oneself
On and on and on and on and
Continuing forward despite obstacles and difficulties
And the creature that you are is this creature you own
Accepting oneself as one is, flaws and all
I'm at peace in this explosion
Finding calm in the midst of chaos or upheaval
And the creature love inspires takes over.
Allowing love to guide and transform oneself
