Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to The Mongoloids's song Stranded describe the feeling of isolation and hopelessness that sometimes accompany change in our lives. The songwriter expresses the struggle of bottling up emotions, losing the will to talk, and feeling stranded in the dark. The chorus describes the loneliness and fear of being surrounded by people who don't understand the struggle: "Still I project my voice for those to hear laying in a bed of my own fear letting myself down time and again I crawl back to my so-called friends."
The verses detail the feeling of betrayal that comes with change, as the fear of the unknown can drive people away. The songwriter speaks of feeling trapped, like he's "fighting both sides of a mirror" and "can't fight anymore." The last line of the chorus, "I won't face them alone," is a cry for help and a reminder that we all need support to get through tough times.
Overall, the song Stranded speaks to the human experience of facing our fears and feeling alone in the struggle. It's a reminder that we all need help sometimes, and that we shouldn't be ashamed to ask for it.
