Lonely
Nathan Wagner Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is everybody lonely?
Is everybody scared?
Is everybody worried
That no one really cares?

See I'm afraid to love, but afraid to be alone
Still I wonder why my heart is always broke
What a way to live, let the fear take all control

Oh, this ain't life, no
I'm not alive

Are we all the same?
Looking for love, looking for love
Are we all in chains?
Trying to be enough, be enough

I'm trying to write my perfect story
I'm working nights, I'm working days
To prove the world that I am worthy
Of being seen, of being praised

'Cause I'm afraid to show the people who I am
I'm not special, I'm just a simple broken man
So I will hide my face with my picture perfect mask
Oh, this ain't life, no
It's just a lie

Are we all the same?
Looking for love, looking for love
Are we all in chains?
Trying to be enough, be enough

Woah
If I looked you in the eye
And showed the broken things inside
Would you run away?
Would you run away?

Woah
If you saw my darkest parts
The wicked things inside my heart

Would you run away?
Or are you the same?

Overall Meaning

Nathan Wagner’s “Lonely” is a poignant and introspective song that delves into the universal experiences of loneliness, fear, and the need for acceptance. The lyrics question if everyone is lonely, scared, and worried that nobody really cares. The first verse highlights the paradoxical situation of being afraid to love but also afraid to be alone. The singer wonders why their heart is always broken, revealing the fear that controls their life. The singer concludes that this isn't living; it is just existing because they are not alive.

The second verse shows that the universal themes of loneliness and fear are shared by everyone. The lyrics ask if everyone is searching for love, and if everyone is trying to be enough. The chorus is a poignant representation of this theme that examines how people wear masks to hide their fears and vulnerabilities. The singer tries to write their perfect story, working days and nights to prove the world that they are worthy of being seen and praised. However, the fear of showing their true self and being judged reigns supreme, and so they wear a mask to hide their broken self.

The bridge of the song is a touch of vulnerability that exposes the fears of being authentic. The singer wonders if they were to show the broken parts inside, would people run away or stay? The song leaves unanswered questions, pointing towards the pervasive feeling of being misunderstood and alone.

Line by Line Meaning

Is everybody lonely?
Does loneliness affect everyone?

Is everybody worried That no one really cares?
Do we all have the fear that no one loves or values us?

See I'm afraid to love, but afraid to be alone
I want to love, but I'm also afraid of being alone.

Still I wonder why my heart is always broke
I'm always wondering why my heart is shattered.

What a way to live, let the fear take all control
It's a terrible way of living, completely controlled by fear.

Oh, this ain't life, no I'm not alive
This is no way to live. I don't feel like I'm really living.

Are we all the same? Looking for love, looking for love
Are we all alike? Seeking love constantly.

Are we all in chains? Trying to be enough, be enough
Do we all feel trapped, trying to the best version of ourselves?

I'm trying to write my perfect story I'm working nights, I'm working days
I'm striving to create my own perfect life, working tirelessly day and night.

To prove the world that I am worthy Of being seen, of being praised
To demonstrate to the world that I deserve recognition and praise.

'Cause I'm afraid to show the people who I am I'm not special, I'm just a simple broken man
I'm too afraid to reveal my true self. I'm not extraordinary, just a damaged individual.

So I will hide my face with my picture perfect mask Oh, this ain't life, no It's just a lie
I'll use a mask that fits societal expectations to conceal my true self. This isn't living - it's deception.

Woah If I looked you in the eye And showed the broken things inside Would you run away? Would you run away?
If I met your gaze and revealed my brokenness, would you flee?

Woah If you saw my darkest parts The wicked things inside my heart Would you run away? Or are you the same?
If you were to witness my darkest thoughts and feelings, would you also run away or relate to me?

same, it's cause loving is just so risky. Especially after experiencing heartbreak you learn that everything, especially the best and most special things, are temporary. You get too attached and then life takes the person away from you, leaving you broken for years afterwards in a pain so deep you feel like you'd be better off dead. Yet being alone isn't much better, too much loneliness and you'll go insane, (I had this happen to me) you get new people in your head who make it their life's mission to hurt you constantly. In the end, everything hurts. Better you enjoy people's company without loving them. You won't get the deep relationships, but you'll get some happiness with the least amount of pain.

Black ZeN96 I think it’s because a lot of people also have depression. You want to love someone, but you also have problems with yourself. You are fighting against another personality. That’s my problem. I found my love one year ago and we were in a releation ship but then I broke up without reason. My brain just things I can’t make him happy or can’t love him, but my heart gets crazy around him. We are still friends which proves that we are made for each other. He is my only soulmate and no one else.

@Black ZeN96 It's because some people are introverts some are extroverts, it's a mix of two personalities in the world and yes some people appreciate company more than others, extroverts don't appreciate that.

The saddest part is that in today's society everyone is trying their hardest to be loved (to be "perfect"), up to the point that they'll lie and deceive to gain that recognition. But this is indeed no way of living, and then people wonder why they become exhausted and lonely. One will never find honest appreciation in another if they do not dare to open up and show their true self.
Sure it is scary, and the hard truth is that most people will back away when they see a person with flaws, but at least this makes way to connect with people who actually do care and want to see the real you behind the mask. Life is not a race, it's not a competition. It's a journey filled with experiences to learn from - like an adventure. Any adventure would be dreadful if you keep blocking each other's roads instead of venturing on it together. Still, I suppose without the dreadful parts, we would not be able to appreciate the wonderful parts.
In any case, this song touched me in various ways, especially because I can connect it with many people I know in my life as well ♥

"the hard truth is that most people will back away when they see a person with flaws" EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME 50 TIMES..
Either way i finally found a girl that actually loves me even through my flaws, and i see her flaws...

It's so much different if you find the true person that sees all of your pain... We're BFFs because she has a relationship but she's literally gathering feelings for me but now im stressed that i'm killing her boyfriend's relationship because i care more about her...

@nunyabusiness9177

5y↑7

xX_Malakai_Xx btw I'm a girl that’s great that you’ve found someone you can’t talk to. I’m trying lol. It ain’t working out so well but if your crush is at anytime not there, the internet is a great way to talk because no one knows who you. it’s like free of judgement and people who seem to actually maybe care and might actually wanna talk. Broken people such as I and from what you said maybe you (not tryna be offensive just trying to get my point across) tend to find great conversations on the internet because it’s the only place we can be real, where we can get a response that’s not an eye roll or a you just want attention comment. Hope things are getting better. Have a great one. 😃😃😃
Edit: also if you wanna talk we can. I don’t talk to really anybody outside of the internet lol so chances are that I’ll respond 😃

Nathan, when I first heard this song I was on my way to school, it was dark and rainy. It reminded me of the day I lost the only person I ever could love as much as I did. She was so beautiful and so kind and she helped me in my time of need but I was to late to help her, I failed her, I failed myself and now I can't even look at myself in the mirror. I used to be a happy and proud person and I valued myself a lot, now I'm just a broken man waiting to see her again, I'm a broken man. A Lonely man

I don’t listen to the ones who mean it but only the ones who don’t.. it makes me feel as if everyone doesn’t mean it.. I can’t do anything, and I don’t deserve love. That’s the way life is and nobody but I can change that.. but do I have the strength to...?

The few friends that I do have are men like me who where over there as well. When I found this song completely by accident it spoke to me in ways that I haven't felt in 50 yrs. After wearing a mask and amour for so long and have felt broken inside for so long that I forgot that you can feel any other way. You have a true talent keep writing and singing.

“Would you run away or are you the same?” I can’t properly express how deeply and rawly I feel these words. Like they were flowing out of my body, my heart, my mind. I am very grateful to the friend that shared another song with me, because now I am officially a fan. You have won me over for sure. Music speaks to my soul in a way that is so hard to portray or explain. It just reverberates inside of me. It is my love language. It is a place where I can allow myself to get lost, and feel whatever the music brings up to the surface. You sir, hit those places within for me. Very glad to have found your work, and looking forward to listening to all of it. Thank you 🙏🏻

This is a beautiful piece Nathan. As an artist myself, I can totally understand how difficult and scary it can be to expose our true selves to the world. But I've learned that there is something amazing that happens when we are honest with ourselves and others about all our shortcomings and failures..... God takes all the ashes and broken pieces of our lives and turns them into a beautiful vessel into which He pours His Holy Spirit. I think we will all be amazed one day in the new Heavens and New Earth when we see how many others' lives were touched and changed just by our being authentic and telling our stories. Our testimonies are powerful, and one of the most beautiful gifts from our Heavenly Father. May He bless you and your music as you seek Him each day 💖💙💖 Love you brother friend!

"I'm afraid to love but afraid to be alone" this hit me like a truck because at some point you realize that both situations hurt.

I'm not sure what hurts more, being heartbroken when you realize you can't marry your crush (who likes you back) or being alone for so long that you end up with 8 different voices in your head that constantly torment you. They hurt terribly, especially when the people in your head take the form of your loved one, you think that they're actually with you and talk to them then the illusion vanishes, leaving you even more broken when you realize they weren't actually there and you were just talking to yourself.

This song really hit home, even though our stories are super different. You can hear in your vocals that this song means a lot to you, and that translates. The lines 'If I looked you in the eye, and showed the broken things inside, would you run away?' exactly describe how I've felt for a long time. I'm talking to a professional lately about it, and this is literally something that I've talked about fearing. So thank you for putting into words what I, and clearly many others here, have felt.
