Lonesome Town
The Carbonfools Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What kind of love, what kind of love
What you've just left me in the rain with
This, this pain without explainin'
There is no love, there's no such love
Like your love is just a game
You can't hurt me once again

In you soul there's a secret place
Where you keep the sweets, where you keep the shades
In your heart there is no more space
For all your love, for all your hate
I would never hurt you, mama, it's just nothing but drama
Yet a hundred thousand reasons
There's nothing cold but freezin'
That need to own your crown
Now I've got to say goodbye
Like you do

There's something about you, something about you ain't real
There's something about you, something inside I would kill
So, please, let me just go, let me just be how I feel
If I could set your heart free I would set my girl free from un-real
No, I won't change you
I'm going down to your lonesome town where you
Where you want me to stay
The lonely streets and mellow lights and
Crossroads lead to the pain
You know I'm falling for you but I don't want you
To hurt me once again
So I'll just find a place in your lonesome town
Where I could love again

In my heart there's a secret place
With all your lies, with all your hates
In my soul there is no more space
For you, my love, for rolling tears
There's something about you, something about you ain't real
There's something about you, something inside I would kill

I'm going down to your lonesome town where you
Where you want me to stay
The lonely streets and mellow lights and
Crossroads lead to the pain
You know I'm falling for you but I don't want you
To hurt me once again




So I'll just find a place in your lonesome town
Where I could love again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Carbonfools' song "Lonesome Town" portray a relationship that has become toxic and painful. The song is about a couple who are no longer able to love each other in a healthy way but are still drawn to each other despite the pain and hurt they cause each other. The singer is hurt and confused by his partner, who seems to love playing games with his heart. He tries to move on but finds himself constantly pulled into her "lonesome town" – a place of sadness and unfulfilled love.


The lyrics are full of metaphors that speak to the emotional turmoil the singer is experiencing. When he sings, "there is no love, there's no such love," he is expressing his belief that the love he and his partner once shared is now gone. He goes on to describe the pain he feels as something that hits him like rain with no explanation. He is left stranded and alone, with no understanding of why his partner is behaving the way she is.


The song also touches on the idea of letting go of someone you love, even if it hurts. The singer knows that he needs to say goodbye, but he still finds himself falling for his partner and wanting to protect her from the pain he feels. However, he knows that he can't keep going through the same cycle of hurt and betrayal.


Overall, "Lonesome Town" is a heartfelt exploration of a failing relationship, with poignant lyrics that capture the complexity of love and heartbreak.

this is my favourite track so far... jeez, it's so many memories
i can't even say about inner energy of this song, but
in the deep depression, when i had so many problems, i've been listening to this
when i was on my way to meet my gf, i was listening this track
even when i want to listen something sad but soft, i can listen this track ._.
it's magnificent and hypnotizing ._.
