Lonely
Regi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my dreams I still can see
The life that used to comfort me
But I know it fades away
In every minute; day by day
Now it seems I've lost my way
Searching for a place where I could stay
I became a living lie
While lonely voices started to cry

And so I face the setting sun
Our past can never be undone

Paradise I tried to find
And nothing else I had in mind
With blind eyes I walked on by
The things I didn't even try
Looking back I only see
Failure; endless misery
That is why I hear at last
Just lonely voices from the past

And so I face the setting sun
A cage-bird, trying to fly with broken wings




Our past can never be undone
What lays beyond remains a mystery to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Regi's "Lonely" speak of a sense of loss, regret, and the struggle of trying to find one's way in life. The singer reminisces about a life that was once comforting, but now seems to be fading away day by day. There is a sense of feeling lost, searching for a place to belong, and becoming a "living lie" as a result. Lonely voices in the background add to the feeling of despair and hopelessness.


As the song progresses, the singer reflects on their past attempts to find paradise, but ultimately coming up short. With a sense of resigned acceptance, they acknowledge that they have only experienced failure and misery. The image of a "cage-bird trying to fly with broken wings" brings to mind a sense of feeling trapped and unable to escape one's own limitations. Despite this, the singer faces the setting sun with a sense of stoic determination and an acknowledgement that the past cannot be undone.


The hauntingly beautiful melody of "Lonely" perfectly underscores the sense of melancholy and longing in the lyrics. The song is a testament to the human experience of loss, regret, and the struggle to find one's way in life.
