Only a Few
Spacehog Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't decide why all of my confidence
Is left high and dry all over and out
The truth should be known for all of it's consequence
Hangs in the balance and shadows my doubt

[Chorus]
There's only a few like you
There's only one I to compromise
There's only a few who do
Big boys don't cry

So take me away from this loneliness
Facing the shadows and hiding the lights
Truth should be known without which I'm all alone
Lost between this world and hiding from life

[Chorus]





And when I get there I will find you

Overall Meaning

He knows that the truth about himself and his situation carries heavy consequences, but he cannot seem to grasp it fully, leaving him with doubt that casts a shadow over everything.


The chorus of the song is a plea for someone to help him feel less alone, to find that rare person who truly understands and can provide comfort. The line "big boys don't cry" can be interpreted as both a reminder to himself to toughen up and a warning not to show vulnerability to others who may take advantage of it. Despite the sadness and desperation in the lyrics, the song ultimately ends on a hopeful note, with the promise of finding the person who can bring him out of his loneliness.
