Coming On Strong
Lowgold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fear will keep you from sleep
But you say you don't feel lonely
Just alone
Isolation will kill you
For compassion, the plea
Just alone
I don't think your old enough
To understand the way that you feel
But this feeling is coming on strong
This feeling is coming on strong
This feeling is coming on strong
Scientific or reason?
Intuition or fate?
But you say you don't feel lonely
Just alone
I don't think your old enough
To understand the way that you feel
But this feeling is coming on strong
This feeling is coming on strong
This feeling is coming on strong
This feeling is coming on strong
The lyrics of Lowgold's song "Coming on Strong" explore the feelings of loneliness and isolation that can lead to fear and a sense of desperation for connection. The singer of the song is awakened by their fears and struggles with the idea of reaching out for help or connection with others. The lyrics suggest that, despite this struggle, the character does not necessarily see themselves as alone and instead is grappling with the deeper emotional issues of isolation and fear that come alongside loneliness.
The juxtaposition between scientific reasoning and intuition/fate serves to highlight the torture of being in the middle of an internal battle where there is no clear answer. The song captures a sense of the struggle of growing up and trying to make sense of emotions that can be overwhelming and complex. It suggests that sometimes we may not be old enough to truly understand what we are feeling, but that the emotions are so strong that they cannot be ignored.
Overall, "Coming on Strong" is about the difficulties of trying to navigate and make sense of our own emotions as they shift and evolve over time. The song acknowledges that some feelings can be too much to bear, but also subtly hints at the importance of seeking help and connection when we are in the midst of a deep emotional struggle.

"Coming on strong by The Queen...
Coming on strong (bis)
I can feel the heartaches
Coming on strong
I can feel the teardrops
The pain and sorrow
Ever since you've been gone
They've been coming on strong
Pain come on in
Hello sorrow, I see you're back again
Teardrops glad you dropped by
'Cause you can help drown my pride
And since you're here
The time seems to fly
To let you know you're gonna be with me
Till I lose my mind
But you've been gone
Much too long
And I can feel the heartaches
Coming on strong
Only thing you left me
Was misery for company
And memories of a love gone wrong
That keep coming on strong
Coming on strong !

Never knew this song existed until I listened to Radar Love by Golden Earring.
@elizaf4663
Always loved this song back in the day -
@jonathanlevine8497
Funny - me too.
@That70sGuitarist
As a guitarist, I always misheard that verse as, "The radio's playin' some forgotten song, ramblin' leads comin' on strong."🤣
I only recently learned that it was really "Brenda Lee's 'Comin' On Strong'," when I read the actual lyrics on a video of "Radar Love."🤣 I'm glad I did, though, or I never would've heard this particular "forgotten song."♥️

@That 70's Guitarist I heard the same thinf
@That70sGuitarist
@John Bower I'm sure many of us heard it that way, but it would seem that we got it all wrong. Even the lead singer in one of the earliest bands I ever worked in always sang, "ramblin' leads comin' on strong."🤣
@DSVOP
The Dutch band, 'Golden Earring' have preserved this great song for eternity in their world wide hit 'Radar Love', as they name check the record, which caused many DJ's to dig out the tune during the 1970's. I have always loved this great song, posting to my Facebook. Thank you for sharing.

When you have been driving an automobile for several hours into the night to the point that your hands are now perspiring onto the steering wheel in anticipation of meeting with your lover, with whom you appear to have such a strong connection that you both, essentially, have developed a sixth sense making you capable of sensing each other's emotions and sending messages to each other through non-physical, non-electronic means.
