Loneliness
Trust Lyrics

Now I know with certainty what solitude can be
I have finally come to understand what it's like to be alone and isolated

Step by step, in the dark, I found my way
I had to make my way forward slowly and blindly, just trying to figure things out as I went along

Moved ahead, unaware, no idea of the power
I didn't even realize the strength and influence that I had as I kept pushing forward

No idea of your power
I had no idea how much control you had over my life

If I became the hero with an unpainted face
If I achieved great things without trying to hide who I really am

If I became a superstar
If I became incredibly famous and beloved by many

If you became the hero with the unpainted face
If you were able to succeed without hiding behind a facade

You would be a superstar
You would become incredibly popular and successful

I would reflect on all these wasted days
I would think back on all the time I've wasted and regret not doing something different

Unashamed, never wanting to wipe them away
I'm not ashamed of these mistakes and don't want to erase them, as they've made me who I am

You'd go through all the wasted days
You too would experience times where you feel like you've wasted your life away

Never wanting to erase
And you would also not want to erase those moments from your life

Because you know with certainty What loneliness can be The faded image of which you're proud Follows you around And I'm lost in reflections Tell me what happened to you Tell me what happened to you
We both understand the pain and isolation that can come with being alone, and we reflect on how that has impacted us

Maybe tomorrow I won't be a sex symbol Maybe I'll be just anyone If tomorrow you weren't a sex symbol You'd be just anyone
We both realize that fame and popularity are fleeting, and we could become unremarkable in an instant

Never occurs to look for an excuse No fantasies, films that twist the truth No accounts, no excuse, no pretending with lies Or twisting the truth
We don't try to make excuses for our mistakes, and we don't engage in fantasies that twist reality

I'll grow taller than the ones who stay small If one day I become someone who I was If one day I become someone who I was
We believe that we can overcome our previous shortcomings and become more successful than those who never try to improve

I'll laugh at their lives the way they laughed at mine When I was their puppet, life and soul of the party When I lived on dope, I was bored into need The women were the best, all the best, all the best Turned around in the void and held out my arms Idles eyes before me, smiling with charm
We hope to reach a point where we can look back on those who once made us feel insignificant or powerless and laugh at them, just as they once laughed at us

Now I know with certainty Loneliness surrounding me Of faded images, I'm too proud They follow me around I'm lost in reflection What have I become?
Despite all of our successes, we still feel alone and the ghosts of our past follow us everywhere, leaving us lost and questioning who we are

I, too, had my idols They played the part of symbols And they knew with certainty What loneliness can be
We look up to people who we see as having everything together, but even they have experienced loneliness and hardship
