Lonely
Yoe Mase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sold my soul to the devil
Said "You don't need your heart"
In this world full of trouble
Where the madness won't stop
And they take advantage
And they run for the hills
When they swallow the pills
Being lonely
Took a walk with an angel
Because she said she can't fly
Screamed out "Can you forgive me?"
Before she said goodbye
I go into darkness before I try
Is life worth living
When you need to get by?
I feel lonely
I was the king but not the king of anything
Feel lonely
I feel lonely
I feel lonely
Call me Mr. Righteous even if I always sin
Feel lonely
I feel lonely
I feel lonely
Told myself I was going
To get out of this place
Find running water
And find a new space
But in my own time
I will know
That deep inside
We don't ever let go
I was the king but not the king of anything
Call me Mr. Righteous even if I always sin
I sold my soul to the devil
Said "You don't need your heart"
The lyrics are from Yoe Mase's song titled "Lonely". The opening line speaks of how the artist sold his soul to the devil and gave up his heart in a world filled with trouble and madness. The following lines showcase how people take advantage of others, and how life can be harder when they try to escape from it by swallowing pills. The chorus revolves around the theme of loneliness which is recurring throughout the song.
The second verse begins with the artist taking a walk with an angel who couldn't fly, and he questions life's worth and whether it's worth living when you need to get by. He then expresses his feelings of loneliness, despite being king of nothing, calling himself Mr. Righteous even though he always sins. In the bridge, he talks about how he plans to leave the place he's in and find a new space, but deep inside, we don't ever let go of our innermost feelings.

~~~~ Lyrics~~~~
[Intro]
I sold my soul to the Devil
Said “You don’t need your heart”
In this world full of trouble
Where the madness won’t stop
And they take advantage
And they run for the hills
‘Cause a life is harder
When they swallow the pills
Being lonely
[Verse 1]
Took a walk with an angel
Because she said she can’t fly
I screamed out “Can you forgive me?”
Before she said goodbye
Well, go into darkness before I try
Is life worth living when you need to get by?
I’m still lonely
[Chorus]
I was the king but not the king of anything
I'm still lonely
I’m still lonely
I’m still lonely
Call me Mr. Righteous even if I always sin
I'm still lonely
I’m still lonely
I’m still lonely
[Verse 2]
Told myself I was going
To get out of this place
Find running water
And find a new space
But in my own time
I will know
That deep inside
We don’t ever let go
[Chorus]
I was the king but not the king of anything
Call me Mr. Righteous even if I always sin
[Outro]
I sold my soul to the Devil
Said “You don’t need your heart”
I sold my soul to the Devil
Said “You don’t need your heart”
