Lonely
Strange Vacation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's just no stopping this train
I need space to grow and time to think
To find myself inside of me
There is nothing left for me here
No relief in this sound
And I've finally come to realize
And I am feeling lonely
Lonely, lonely, yeah, it's simple
There is a silence here that I know
Where my shadows used to be
It's where I misplaced all my memories
And I slipped into obscurity
There is nothing left for me here
No relief in this sound
And I've finally come to realize
That I've relied on this too long
Let there be a place for us all in another life
To be exactly who you want to be
To see everything that we've believed
And everything we've held our faith in our whole lives
There's faith in me I've lost forever
There's love out there I can't find
There's faith out there lost forever
And love out there I can't find
The lyrics to "Lonely" by Strange Vacation speak of a need for change and growth, as the singer realizes they have relied on something for too long and must find themselves within. The imagery of a train and brewing change suggest a sense of momentum and inevitability, while the repetition of "lonely" emphasizes the isolation and struggle of this process.
The second verse adds depth to the singer's sense of displacement and confusion, as they describe the silence where their memories and shadows used to be. The repetition of the first verse and chorus suggest that these feelings of loneliness and longing are persistent, yet the final lines - "There's faith in me I've lost forever / There's love out there I can't find" - imply a glimmer of hope or a belief in a better future.
Overall, "Lonely" is a poignant and relatable depiction of the struggles of self-discovery and the need for change, and the use of repeated phrases and evocative imagery adds to the emotional impact of the song.

Change has been brewing inside of me
I am undergoing a transformation internally
And there's just no stopping this train
This is a process that cannot be interrupted
I need space to grow and time to think
I require freedom and introspection
To find myself inside of me
The goal is self-discovery
There is nothing left for me here
I have exhausted my current situation
No relief in this sound
There is no comfort to be found in my surroundings
And I've finally come to realize
I have reached an epiphany
That I've relied on this too long
I have depended on this circumstance for too much time
And I am feeling lonely
I am experiencing a deep sense of isolation
Lonely, lonely, yeah, it's simple
The emotion is straightforward
There is a silence here that I know
There is an identifiable stillness
Where my shadows used to be
Where my past demons resided
It's where I misplaced all my memories
The location of my forgotten recollections
And I slipped into obscurity
I vanished into a state of obscurity
Let there be a place for us all in another life
May there be a haven for everyone in another existence
To be exactly who you want to be
Where individuals can be fulfilled on their own terms
To see everything that we've believed
To observe all that we have held as truth
And everything we've held our faith in our whole lives
And everything we have had faith in throughout our lives
There's faith in me I've lost forever
I have lost my faith indefinitely
There's love out there I can't find
I have been unable to locate love
There's faith out there lost forever
Faith has been lost for eternity
And love out there I can't find
And I am still searching for love

Больше десяти лет назад, когда услышал эту песню, я влюбился в девушку в вашем клипе. Ее голос.. я включал момент где она солирует снова и снова. Больше десяти лет назад я пытался найти её аккаунт в интернете в какой нибудь социальной сети, но безуспешно. Я пытался узнать как ее зовут, но так и не смог.

Если она однажды увидит этот комментарий, я буду рад этому.
