Loneliness
Steve Morell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We walk the line hand in hand
Covered in a vacuum of love
Touched by a golden glove
Separated life's ouPr game
The price you pay for beeing in fame
Cold days, hot nights
Loneliness means holiness
Loneliness is the only dress
You might say it means emptiness
For us it feels like happiness
You listen up, to the way we talk
You are watching down the way we walk
Creating dreams that you might follow
So realize they're all made of sorrow
Separated life's our game
The price you pay for beeing in fame
Cold days, hot nights
Art doesn't know human rights
Loneliness means holiness
Loneliness is the only dress
You might say it means emptiness
For us it feels like happiness
Loneliness across this land
We walk the line hand in hand
Covered in a vacuum of love
Touched by a golden glove
You listen up, to the way we talk
You're watching down to the way we walk
Creating dreams that you might follow
So realize they're all made of sorrow
Separated life's our game
The price you pay for beeing in fame
Cold days, hot nights
Art doesn't know human rights
Every night we hang out restless
Music's the answer, I see no question
Sometimes it feels like I'm breaking down
Lights and voices all around
In Steve Morell's song "Loneliness", the repeated chorus about loneliness meaning holiness and being the only dress may seem contradictory to common beliefs about loneliness being a negative feeling. However, Morell suggests that loneliness is inherent in the life of an artist and is ultimately what leads to their creation of meaningful work. The verses speak to the isolation and separation that comes with fame and success, and how that can create a sense of emptiness that is ultimately fulfilling for the artist.
The line "you might say it means emptiness, for us it feels like happiness" encapsulates the idea that loneliness is simply a part of the process of creating art and should be embraced rather than feared. The bridge alludes to the idea that the audience may look up to the artist and their work, but they should also recognize the sorrow that often goes into creating something of worth.
Overall, "Loneliness" celebrates the isolation and loneliness that comes with being an artist and suggests that it is ultimately what drives them forward creatively.
