Little Lost Sometimes
The Almighty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Emptiness inside my soul
Feelings scattered all around
I need somewhere to lose myself
But everywhere has been found
Sad eyes staring out the window
Tequila tears come raining down
And pain comes to leave you cold
So many miles between us and
So many endless roads

Chorus

We're all searching for deliverance
When there ain't nowhere to run
Let your spirit down easy
Cos we're always gonna be
A little lost sometimes

And when there's nothing to believe in
Sometimes these words are not enough
And promises, so hard to keep them
It's hard to feel what you can't touch
Yesterday is yesteryear
Spirits bleeding into dust
Give me time to understand
This pretty thing that we call love

Chorus

What is this feeling rising over me
I might look alright but I'm scared as hell
The more I know the less I understand
Put me together before I fall apart again





Chorus

Overall Meaning

The Almighty's song, "Little Lost Sometimes," is a heart-wrenching expression of the struggles that come with feeling lost and empty. The singer expresses their desperation for a place to lose themselves, but it seems wherever they turn, they are met with disappointment or pain. The metaphor of tequila tears describes the desperate attempt to numb the pain and forget about their troubles. The image of sad eyes staring out of the window further emphasizes their feelings of hopelessness and despair. The line "pain comes to leave you cold" is a powerful acknowledgement of the fact that sometimes there is nothing we can do to protect ourselves from the pain that life throws at us.


The chorus of the song is a rallying cry for all those who feel lost and alone. The lyrics remind us that we are all searching for deliverance, for a way out of the darkness, but sometimes there simply is nowhere to run. The line "let your spirit down easy" is an encouraging message to take care of oneself, to be kind to one's own soul. The acknowledgment that we are all a little lost sometimes is a comforting reminder that no one is alone in their struggles.


The bridge of the song is a powerful reflection on the difficulties of believing in something that we can't see or touch. The line "promises, so hard to keep them" speaks to the fragility of hope and faith. The recognition that yesterday is yesteryear is an acceptance of the fact that we cannot change the past, but we can learn from it. The plea to "give me time to understand this pretty thing that we call love" is a poignant request for patience and understanding.


Overall, "Little Lost Sometimes" is a beautiful and honest expression of the difficulties of navigating life's ups and downs. It speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost and alone, and encourages us to take care of ourselves and each other.
