Lonely
Yael Naпm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are not alone
I am here with you
Even when you're scared
I'll never leave you
Standing in a storm

Making it insane
Once again, I will try
To enchain you
But you open your eyes to the sky
And whisper

[Chorus: ]
That you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely

So I'm coloring my face
While I am here with you
Imagining the landscape of your sorrow
Is it yellow or blue?

Coloring the sky, and the trees
And the clouds, and the moonlight
I'd colored your heart
If you didn't I did

[Chorus: ]
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely





And I wish you could just find home
Mmm...mmm...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yael Naim's "Lonely" are a heartfelt expression of comfort and companionship. The first two lines are an affirmation that the singer is present with the listener, even in their moments of fear and uncertainty. The line "standing in a storm, making it insane" speaks to the overwhelming feeling of being in the midst of chaos, but the singer promises to try and protect the listener from it. However, the listener continues to open their eyes to the sky, as if seeking solace in nature.


The chorus repeats the phrase "you're so lonely, so lonely," emphasizing the feeling of isolation that the listener is experiencing. The singer is trying to color their face as a way of showing solidarity and being present with them, even though it may seem like a small thing. The lyrics then shift to the singer trying to imagine what the landscape of the listener's sorrow looks like, wondering if it's yellow or blue. This is a creative way of acknowledging the depth and complexity of emotions, and how they can manifest in different ways.

You are not alone
I am here with you
Even when you're scared
I'll never leave you
Standing in a storm

Making it insane once again
I will try to enchain you
But you open your eyes to the sky
And whisper

That you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely

So I'm coloring my face
While I am here with you
Imagining the landscapes of your sorrow
Is it yellow or blue?

Coloring the sky, and the trees
And the clouds, and the moonlight
I'd color your heart
If you didn't, I did

Now you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely

You are so alone
You're so
You're so lonely, so lonely

"...canı çok acıyordur."
"Sorun yok. Alışıktır o."
"Acıya alışık olması, acımadığı anlamına gelmez. Sadece acısını belli etmemeyi iyi bildiği anlamına gelir."

The first time I heard this song, I was in Iraq 🇮🇶 as a young airman. I just picked a random CD at the huts 🛖 and it was the best weirdest music I've ever discovered. When times got stressful, I'd play this on repeat. It helped...

You are not alone
I am here with you
Even when you're scared
I'll never leave you
Standing in a storm

Making it insane once again
I will try to enchain you
But you open your eyes to the sky
And whisper

That you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely

So I'm coloring my face
While I am here with you
Imagining the landscapes of your sorrow
Is it yellow or blue?

Coloring the sky, and the trees
And the clouds, and the moonlight
I'd color your heart
If you didn't, I did

Now you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely

You are so alone
You're so
You're so lonely, so lonely

I always understand
"I'd color your heart if you didn't hide it" (: it makes more sense this way for me...
And the last words make this song even more perfect :
"And I wish you could just find home" ❤
Thanks for sharing the beautiful beautiful lyrics anyway (':
