Lonely Soul
UNKLE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
Yeah, yeah
I believe there's a time and a place
To let your mind drift and get out of this place
I believe there's a day and a place
There's no secret to living (There's no secret to living)
Just keep on walking
There's no secret to dying (There's no secret to dying)
Just keep on flying.
I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
I'm gonna die in a space that don't hold my fame.
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls.
I believe there's a time when the cord of life
Should be cut, my friends (Cut the cord, my friend)
I believe there's a time when the cord can be cut
And this vision ends (Let this vision end).
But I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
And I'm gonna cry in a space that don't hold my fame.
Walking in the cold
Just keep on flying
There'll be a searchlight
On the mountain high
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm a lonely soul.
I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name.
God knows you are lonely souls
Lonely souls
Lonely souls
Lonely souls
I'm a lonely soul.
So long, little chapel
Pack up your light
Pack up your light
Say goodbye to the holy water life
Oh
Ah
"Lonely Soul" by UNKLE begins with the repetition of the phrase “God knows you're lonely souls,” which sets the tone of the song, expressing a sense of loneliness and detachment from the world. The lyrics speak about the idea of escaping from reality and finding a place where one can feel more alive. The song suggests that there is no secret to living or dying, and that people should keep walking and flying. The lyrics, “I believe there's a time when the cord of life should be cut, my friends...and this vision ends” could refer to the act of suicide, where an individual is so desperate to escape their worldly troubles that they choose to end their life.
The second verse continues with a repetition of the line about dying in a place that doesn’t know the person’s name or hold their fame, which could suggest a longing to be free from the restraints of society and live a life that is not determined by one’s reputation or social status. The reference to a "searchlight on the mountain high" could refer to the search for something higher or greater than oneself, perhaps a sense of purpose or meaning.
Overall, the lyrics of "Lonely Soul" convey a sense of searching and longing for something more, a place to escape and be free. The repetition of the phrase "God knows you're lonely souls" emphasizes the sense of isolation and disconnection from the world.
