Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you think that you're the only one?
Do you? do you?
Tears are falling in the dark
Do you listen to your beating heart?
Do you? do you?
'Cause I see this space that we've been on
All you have to do is turn around
I see this space that we've been on
I see this space that we've been on
And you know what I'm saying
We're just lonely people, people people
We're just lonely people, people people
We're just lonely people, looking for somebody to love
But you know what I'm saying
We can be alone
We can be alone
We can be alone together
We can be alone
We can be alone
We can be alone together
Naturally, I'm out of touch
Don't be scared to feel too much
Don't go, don't go
Yeah, I can't watch you break and bend
Heart ain't just your only friend
You know, you know
'Cause I see this space that we've been on
All you have to do is turn around
'Cause I see this space that we've been on
I see this space that we've been on
I see this space that we've been on
And you know what I'm saying
We're just lonely people, people people
We're just lonely people, people people
We're just lonely people, looking for somebody to love
But you know what I'm saying
We can be alone
We can be alone
We can be alone together
We can be alone
We can be alone
We can be alone together
We're just lonely people
We're just lonely people
We're just lonely people
We're just lonely people
We're just lonely people, looking for somebody to love
And if you feel what I'm feeling, take it
Further, let's go deeper, it's only you and me here tonight
And there's a truth that we can make it
We're just lonely people, people people
We're just lonely people, people people
We're just lonely people, looking for somebody to love
We can be alone together
The lyrics of iLL BLU feat. James Morrison's song Lonely People delve into the common human experience of feeling alone and looking for someone to love. The opening lines ask if the listener thinks that they are the only ones feeling lonely and lost. The subsequent lines describe tears falling in the dark and encourage the listener to listen to their own heartbeat. The lyrics suggest that in these difficult moments, all one needs to do is turn around and see the space that they have been on. The repetition of this line emphasizes the idea that sometimes all it takes to feel less alone is to shift our perspective.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that loneliness is a shared experience. The repetition of the phrase "we're just lonely people" emphasizes the universality of the emotion. The lyrics suggest that even though we are longing for someone to love, we can also be alone together. This paradoxical concept conveys the idea that we can find comfort in each other's company, even if we are not romantically involved.
The final lines of the song suggest that the listener and the singer are alone together and that there is "a truth that we can make it." This sentiment implies that even though the experience of loneliness can be painful, it is also an opportunity for connection and growth.
Overall, the lyrics of Lonely People express empathy and understanding for the experience of feeling alone. The song suggests that we are all in this together and that we can find comfort and connection in each other.
