Lonely
Timmy Curran Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am stuck beyond the sea
where we, where we
Use to stand hand in hand
and dream
Of the beautiful things
of the beautiful things
Oh,
How I long my darling for you here
Its felt like years, its felt like years
Oh and what I'd give to hold,
hold you close, hold you close
To my heart, to my heart

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, days without you
Lonely, lonley, lonely, lonely, days without you

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, days without you
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, days without you





Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, days without you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Timmy Curran's song "Lonely" express the feeling of being lost and disconnected from someone who was once at the center of the singer's world. The opening lines create an image of physical distance between the two people, with the singer being "stuck beyond the sea" – perhaps suggesting that they are in a different country or continent from their loved one. The reference to standing "hand in hand and dream[ing] of the beautiful things" reinforces the depth of connection that the singer once felt for this person, and how much they miss that time together.


As the song continues, it becomes clear that the singer is pining for their loved one, wishing desperately that they could be reunited. The repetition of the word "lonely" underscores this feeling of isolation and longing, emphasizing that the singer is struggling to cope without the other person in their life. The final lines of the song nearly echo the previous ones with the same words, repeating over and over again like a mantra – perhaps emphasizing that the singer is trying to convince themselves that they can survive this separation, even as their heart aches for the person they have lost.


Overall, "Lonely" is a poignant and introspective song that captures the pain of heartbreak and the yearning for connection. It speaks to anyone who has ever experienced the emptiness of being without someone they love, and reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can find solace in the beauty of music.
