Lonely
Strange Vacation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Change has been brewing inside of me
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
That I've relied on this too long

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

Overall Meaning

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.
