Scared to Be Lonely
MoonSound Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was great at the very start
Hands on each other
Couldn't stand to be far apart
Closer the better
Now we're picking fights
And slamming doors
Magnifying all our flaws
And I wonder why
Wonder what for
Why we keep coming back for more
Is it just our bodies?
Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
Do we need somebody
Just to feel like we're alright?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
Too much time, losing track of us
Where was the real?
Undefined, spiraling out of touch
Forgot how it feels
All the messed up fights
And slamming doors
Magnifying all our flaws
And I wonder why
Wonder what for
It's like we keep coming back for more
Is it just our bodies?
Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
Do we need somebody
Just to feel like we're alright?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
Scared to be lonely
Even when we know it's wrong
Been somebody better for us all along
Tell me, how can we keep holding on?
Holding on tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Even when we know it's wrong
Been somebody better for us all along
Tell me, how can we keep holding on?
Holding on tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Is it just our bodies?
Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
Scared to be lonely




Scared to be lonely
Eh, eh, scared to be lonely

Overall Meaning

In MoonSound's song "Scared To Be Lonely," the lyrics paint a poignant picture of a relationship that started off strong and intense, with the lovers unable to keep their hands off each other and desperate to stay close. However, as time passes, the dynamic shifts, and the couple finds themselves caught in a cycle of arguments, conflict, and emotional distance. This transformation from passion to discord is illustrated through the imagery of picking fights, slamming doors, and magnifying their flaws, suggesting a deterioration of the once loving connection between them.


The song delves into the internal struggle of the singers as they question the reasons behind their continuous return to each other despite the toxicity of their relationship. They ponder whether their physical attraction is the driving force behind their reunion, or if their emotional instability and fear of loneliness are what keep them entwined. The lyrics explore the complexities of human nature and the tendency to seek solace in another person even when it may not be the healthiest choice.


As the song progresses, the sense of disorientation and confusion heightens as the couple loses sight of their true selves and forgets what genuine connection feels like. They find themselves trapped in a cycle of destructive behavior, unable to break free from the patterns that have become ingrained in their relationship. The repeated questioning of "Is it just our bodies?" reflects their uncertainty about the true motives behind their physical intimacy, signaling a deeper longing for emotional fulfillment.


In the final verses, the song reaches a crescendo as the singers grapple with the realization that they are holding on to a relationship that may not be right for them. Despite knowing that there might be someone better suited for each of them, they struggle to let go due to their fear of loneliness and the comfort of familiarity. The repetition of "Scared to be lonely" echoes their shared apprehension about facing life without each other, highlighting the underlying fear and vulnerability that permeate their dynamic. Through evocative imagery and introspective questioning, "Scared To Be Lonely" captures the bittersweet essence of a love that teeters on the edge of despair and longing.
