Dear my friend
W & Whale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't yet know your name
Don't even know your birthday
And if we'll look the same
Still my love, my dear, my darling
I sing my words for you
Now you may never hear them
But maybe they find you
And know I never planned to let you down
I thought I always had the right intensions
And knew right from wrong as if I wore a crown
Well, my love, my dear, my darling
A King may also die one day
Amused by two Court Jesters
My Right and Wrong just passed away
The lyrics to "Dear My Friend" by W & Whale are a poignant portrayal of the struggles of an individual who is unable to make friends. The first verse establishes the singer's achievements, such as their excellent grades and luxurious hair, but also highlights their inability to connect with their peers. Despite their many accomplishments, they are still plagued by feelings of inadequacy due to their inability to make friends. The individual expresses their loneliness, noting that their only friend seems to be their mother, and that even a potential friend such as Mrs. Frizz seems too old to be an actual companion. The second verse describes how the singer has attempted to improve their situation by trying to make themselves more attractive, indicating their desire to fit in and be accepted. Despite their efforts, however, they remain isolated, with their phone never ringing.
The chorus is a repetition of the singer's loneliness and the people in their life who they currently rely on for support. The repeated statement of their failure to make friends highlights the person's sense of isolation, while the final line of "Please be my friend" is a poignant plea for human connection.
Overall, the song is a moving portrayal of the human need for social interaction and the struggles that can come with feeling isolated. It feels relatable to anyone who has struggled with making meaningful connections with others, regardless of age or circumstance.
