Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This movie ain't over
Take me by the hand
You feel a little colder
I'm never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you down
The heart is taking control
We're fading away
Getting high off the ground
We're fading away
Lost and not found
We're fading away yeah yeah, uh huh
Getting high off the ground
We're fading away yeah yeah, uh huh
Lost and not found
We gonna take the flight
Paper planes, getting rolled up
Our dreams hit the fan
The pain of getting older
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you down
The heart has taken control
There's no one around
We're fading away
Getting high off the ground
We're fading away
Lost and not found
We're fading away yeah yeah, uh huh
Getting high off the ground
We're fading away yeah yeah, uh huh
Lost and not found
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you down
The heart has taken control
There's no one around
There's no one around
There's no one around
There's no one around
There's no one around
There's no one around
There's no one around
We're fading away
Getting high off the ground
We're fading away
Lost and not found
We're fading away yeah yeah, uh huh
Getting high off the ground
We're fading away yeah yeah, uh huh
Lost and not found
We're fading away yeah yeah, uh huh
Lost and not found
The song "Lost & Not Found" by Louis M^ttrs revolves around the theme of lost love and life's uncertainty. The opening lines of the song, "Blinded the lights, this movie ain't over, take me by the hand, you feel a little colder" speaks of a relationship that is on the verge of falling apart. The chorus of the song, "We're fading away, getting high off the ground, lost and not found" adds to the melancholic essence of the song, capturing the sense of an aimless existence where one's surroundings and even one's self seem to be slipping away. Despite the uncertainties though, the singer promises to never let go, "I'm never gonna let you go, I'm never gonna let you down, the heart has taken control, there's no one around."
The song's lyrics and melody complement each other perfectly, making the listener feel the sense of despair and emptiness that the singer is expressing. The chorus gives a sense of an unanchored existence, where one is constantly on the move, "We gonna take the flight, paper planes getting rolled up," but the end result is always the same, "lost and not found". The song ultimately speaks to the paradox of life; where the more we try to control our situations, the more it seems to just slip out of our grasp.

That feeling when you listen to a song for the first time in 8 years, and you suddenly remember it.
That feeling when you rediscover a comment you posted 2 years back.
