LostAlone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fever can you light my way
A mirage but with skin and bone
Illusive but a time bomb
Frightened feelings
Better than no feelings at all
Illusion is a treatment for
Now its all here to shape got to live for today
And try to understand just who we are
I want to be in the first century
And I'll live my life as Genevieve
No sympathy for python
Never took some good advice
Share your touch and
You shall touch the stars
Do good deeds and
You can raise the curtain
Do good deeds and
You could really raise your life
The future is a creature unknown
Now its all here to breathe and I like how it feels
I try to understand just who we are
I want to be in the first century
And I'll live my life as Genevieve
Now its all here to shape got to live for today
And try to understand just who we are
I want to be in the first century
And I'll live my life as Genevieve
The lyrics to LostAlone's song "Genevieve" are a reflection on the human experience, framed within the narrative of longing to exist in a different era. The first stanza sets the scene with a juxtaposition between the fevered enlightenment of the present and the illusory mirage of the past. The second stanza suggests that even false emotions are better than feeling nothing at all, and that illusions can be a coping mechanism for unpleasant thoughts. The chorus emphasizes the importance of living in the present, while still longing for the simplicity and beauty of a past era. The final stanza touches on the idea that doing good deeds can lead to a better life and a brighter future, but ultimately the future is unknown and unpredictable.
Line by Line Meaning
So cold fever your enlightened
Your passion is devoid of warmth and instead focused on intellectual pursuits
Fever can you light my way
Can your passion guide me through darkness and confusion
A mirage but with skin and bone
An illusion that seems real, yet lacks true substance
Illusive but a time bomb
Deceptive and unpredictable, capable of sudden and destructive outbursts
Frightened feelings
Emotions born of fear and anxiety
Better than no feelings at all
Even negative emotions are preferable to emotional numbness
Illusion is a treatment for
Deceitful fantasies provide temporary relief for
Empty horrid thoughts
Negative and disturbing mental imagery born of emptiness and despair
Now its all here to shape got to live for today
The present moment holds the potential to shape our future, so we must seize the day
And try to understand just who we are
We must work to gain insight into our true selves and purpose in life
I want to be in the first century
I long for a simpler time with a different way of life
And I'll live my life as Genevieve
I will embrace a new identity and way of being
No sympathy for python
No pity for those who may take advantage of others
Never took some good advice
Refused to listen to wise counsel
Share your touch and
Connect and give of yourself to others and
You shall touch the stars
You will achieve great things and reach great heights
Do good deeds and
Perform kind and benevolent acts and
You can raise the curtain
You can reveal new possibilities and opportunities
Do good deeds and
Perform kind and benevolent acts and
You could really raise your life
You have the potential to greatly improve your circumstances and sense of fulfillment
The future is a creature unknown
The future is a mysterious and unpredictable force
Now its all here to breathe and I like how it feels
The present moment is filled with possibility and joy, and I am grateful for it
I try to understand just who we are
I am committed to the journey of self-discovery and reflection
I want to be in the first century
I yearn for a simpler time, unburdened by the complexities of modern life
And I'll live my life as Genevieve
I will embrace a new identity, free from previous limitations and constraints
