So Lonely
The Police Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere

But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

So lonely
So lonely

Now no one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one man show

Just take a seat they're always free
No surprise, no mystery
In this theater that I call my soul
I always play the starring role

So lonely
So lonely (I feel low)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)
So lonely (I feel low)
(I feel so lonely)

So lonely (I feel low)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)
So lonely (I feel low)
(I feel so lonely)

So lonely (I feel low)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)
So lonely (I feel low)
(I feel so lonely)

So lonely (I feel low)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)

Lonely, I'm so lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

Lonely, I'm so lonely
I feel so alone
I feel low
I feel so
Feel so low
I feel low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
Low, I feel low
I feel low
I feel low
I feel so lonely
I feel so lonely
I feel so lonely, lonely, lonely, lone
Lone, lone, lone
I feel so lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)

So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)

So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)

So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)

So lonely (I feel so alone)

Overall Meaning

The Police's iconic song So Lonely explores themes of isolation, heartbreak, and loneliness. The opening lines begin with someone telling the singer that when you throw your love away, you act as if you don't care and look as if you're going somewhere. However, the singer cannot convince himself to live without his love, and he's stuck nursing a broken heart while playing the starring role in the theater that is his soul. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the feeling of being so lonely, with the singer feeling low and empty inside.


The second verse adds to the sense of loneliness, as no one has come to the singer's door in thousands of years, leaving him with nowhere to go but his one-man show. He invites others to take a seat in this theater, but there's no surprise or mystery to be found. The repetition of "I feel so lonely" at the end of the song drives home the feelings of loneliness and isolation that the singer is experiencing.


Overall, the song is a powerful portrayal of the emotions that many people feel at some point in their lives when they're left alone and heartbroken. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the weight of these emotions and leaves a lasting impression on the listener.


Line by Line Meaning

Well someone told me yesterday
Someone recently informed me


That when you throw your love away
When you end a relationship carelessly


You act as if you just don't care
You appear as if you have no emotions


You look as if you're going somewhere
You seem to have moved on with your life


But I just can't convince myself
But I can't make myself believe that


I couldn't live with no one else
I can't imagine living without someone else


And I can only play that part
I can only act as if I've moved on


And sit and nurse my broken heart
And stay alone while tending to my emotional wounds


So lonely (I feel low)
Feeling down and isolated (repeated throughout song)


Now no one's knocked upon my door
No one has come to see me


For a thousand years or more
For what seems like an impossibly long time


All made up and nowhere to go
Dressed well, but lacking social plans


Welcome to this one-man show
Welcome to my life of loneliness


Just take a seat they're always free
There's always room for one more in my solitude


No surprise, no mystery
Nothing unexpected, nothing unknown


In this theater that I call my soul
In my internal world


I always play the starring role
I am always the main character in my loneliness


Lonely, I'm so lonely
Feeling extremely lonely (repeated throughout song)


I feel so alone
I feel solitary


I feel low
I feel sad


I feel so
I feel


Feel so low
Feeling very sad


Low, I feel low
In a state of sadness


Low, low
Very low


Low, low, low
Extremely low


I feel so lonely, lonely, lonely, lone
Feeling intensely lonely (repeated)


Lone, lone, lone
Alone, alone, alone
