Lonesome
Unwritten Law Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause you're not around and I'm feeling lonely
Same old episode for me, heading for catastrophe.
And I can see that it's
Association with the past
So think about it
It's like a tie that did not last
Don't run, cause you might find out,
Find out I'm the one
And I still feel lonesome
Nothing's changed, it just gets rearranged
When you come around
So now what's your story
You were never there for me
So I'm going out to see
Cause I can't see that it's
Association with the past
So think about it
It's like a tie that did not last
Don't move so fast
Don't run, cause you might find out,
Find out I'm the one
(Yeah) And I still feel lonesome
Go go go
Yeah
Now you're here
But I don't want to stay
Cause you weren't around
And now you say you're sorry
And nothing's changed
It's just been rearranged
So stay down, just stay down.
Association with the past
So think about it
It's like a tie that did not last
Don't move so fast
Don't run, cause you might find out,
Find out I'm the one
And I still feel lonesome
Well I'm still lonesome
Yeah
I'm still lonesome.
The lyrics to the song "Lonesome" by Unwritten Law are about feeling lonely and disconnected from someone who was once present in the singer's life. The song begins with the singer admitting that they don't want to be where they are because the person they are missing isn't there. The singer feels like they are heading for disaster, encapsulating the idea that they know being alone is not what they want, but they are heading towards it anyway. The chorus "Association with the past, So think about it" talks about the idea of constantly holding onto something that is gone or no longer there. The singer asks the person to not move on so fast because they might realize that the singer is the one they should have been with all along. The song ends with the singer still feeling lonesome, no real resolution has been found.
The opening riff of the song comes from the Western movie, The Magnificent Seven. This song was written for the movie The Skulls II but later appeared on the album Here's to the Mourning. The song was one of three tracks on this album that brought the band back to their roots. The lyrics to the song have been described as "simple yet effective," allowing the listener to feel as if they are connecting personally with the singer. The band was in a self-admitted state of turmoil during the making of this album, with endless delays that led to the departure of their guitarist. The song was replaced on the movie soundtrack by a song from Papa Roach.

I am physically present, but I don’t want to linger in this space anymore.
Cause you're not around and I'm feeling lonely
You’re absent, and this feeling of loneliness is creeping up on me.
Same old episode for me, heading for catastrophe.
It’s always the same old story of mine, and it seems that it will end up in a disastrous situation.
And I can see that it's
I am aware of the situation, and it's not new to me.
Association with the past
It reminds me of what I’ve gone through in the past.
So think about it
I want to ponder on it for a while.
It's like a tie that did not last
It’s like a bond that was broken too soon.
Don't move so fast
Let’s not rush into anything without considering the consequences.
Don't run, cause you might find out,
Don’t move too quickly, or you may experience something unpleasant.
Find out I'm the one
You might end up realizing that I am the right one for you.
(Yeah) And I still feel lonesome
Even though you’re present, this feeling of isolation is still present inside me.
Nothing's changed, it just gets rearranged
Nothing has changed, but the elements have been reorganized.
When you come around
When you show up in my life again.
So now what's your story
I’m curious about what you’ve been up to, and what your intentions are.
You were never there for me
You were never there to support me when I needed it.
So I'm going out to see
I am taking a step back to examine the situation.
Cause I can't see that it's
I want to look at it objectively since I can’t seem to see the situation clearly.
Go go go
I am encouraging myself to move forward and not dwell on the past.
Yeah
An expression of positive affirmation and agreement.
Now you're here
Now that you’re present again.
But I don't want to stay
But I don’t want to stay here any longer.
Cause you weren't around
Because you were absent before.
And now you say you're sorry
And now you are apologizing for your absence.
And nothing's changed
But nothing has materially changed in between.
It's just been rearranged
Things are just positioned differently in this situation, but fundamentally still the same.
So stay down, just stay down.
So let's keep a low profile and not escalate the situation.
Well I'm still lonesome
Even after all these events, I still feel isolated.
Yeah
An affirmation of positive sentiment.
I'm still lonesome.
I am still feeling lonely and cut off from the world.

And I still feel lonesome
Well I still lonesome
Yeah
I still lonesome.

This is my ultimate summer vibe anthem. AS well as "in too deep". They give you this blue-orange feel of pools, sun, skating, blue sky and hot weather. Absolutely love it.
