Lonely
The Epics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just ask the lonely

When you feel that need
To make it all alone,
Remember no one is thinking of,
Going alone

Just ask the lonely
They know the hurt and pain,
Of losing a love, you can never regain

Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely

The young and foolish laugh at love (Woo hoo)
So they run away (Woo hoo hoo hoo)
Confident and sure that fate (Woo hoo)
Will bring another love their way

(Ah) But ask the lonely
(Ah) How vainly a heart can yearn,
(Ah) For losing a love that will never return

Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely
They'll tell you

Ooh, Woo hoo hoo hoo ooh

(Ah) They'll tell you a story of sadness,
(Ah) A story too hard to believe
Ah, they'll tell you the loneliest one is me

Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely

Ask me
I'm the loneliest one you'll see





Just ask the lonely

Overall Meaning

In The Epics's song Lonely, the lyrics describe the pain and hurt of losing a loved one and being left alone. The opening line, "Just ask the lonely," is a plea to those feeling isolated and in need of comfort to seek solace in the experiences of others. The following lines explain that no one truly wants to be alone, but sometimes it feels like there is no other option. The chorus repeats the title phrase twice, emphasizing the importance of seeking the guidance and advice of those who have experienced similar heartbreak.


The second verse contrasts the naivete of young love with the harsh reality of lost love. The "young and foolish" might believe in the fleeting nature of romance, and be confident in finding new love when one relationship ends. However, the chorus returns to the message that the pain of truly losing a love is something only the lonely can understand. The final verse is a personal confession - the singer admits to being the "loneliest one you'll see" and urges others to ask them for insight into the pain of heartbreak.


Overall, The Epics's song Lonely is a poignant reflection on love, loss, and the human need for connection. The lyrics reach out to anyone who has felt lonely or lost, and offer validation and understanding for their experiences.
