Lost Alone
mind.in.a.box Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're walking my streets,
I don't know who you are.
You don't care for my trees,
I only see you from afar.

You can't see where you go,
I can't find you the way.
You seem you do not know,
I won't tell you to stay.

You're losing your mind,
I don't feel you're alive.
You don't know what to find,
I can't help you contrive.

You're closing your eyes,
I can't bring you to see.
You forget your soul dies,
I fear you won't be free.

You are not the only one,
Lost alone in this world.
Lost alone in this world.
There are others beside you,
Feeling empty and hurt.
Feeling empty and hurt.

You are not the only one,
Lost alone in dark dreams.
Lost alone in dark dreams.
One of them will find you,
Knowing what it means,
To be lost alone.
To be lost alone.

I'm lost in the cold,
There is nobody else.
I didn't know I had sold,
My life reduced to shells.

I was left in the dark,
All to remember is gone.
I'm feeling the mark,
Still I have to drag on.

I've built my own cave,
There's just no way out.
I thought I would feel safe,
But now I want to shout.

I feed on my sorry state,
But this sure won't last.
I fear it is too late,
To break free from my past.

You are not the only one,
Lost alone in this world.
Lost alone in this world.
There are others beside you,
Feeling empty and hurt.
Feeling empty and hurt.

You are not the only one,
Lost alone in dark dreams.
Lost alone in dark dreams.
One of them will find you,
Knowing what it means,




To be lost alone.
To be lost alone.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Lost Alone" by mind.in.a.box describe a sense of detachment and loneliness in a world that feels empty and hopeless. The song describes a protagonist walking through the streets and feeling lost in a world that doesn't seem to care about them. The singer is lost mentally and emotionally as they try to navigate their life without any direction or purpose. The chorus of the song emphasizes that the singer is not alone in their feelings of emptiness and hurt, but that there are others out there feeling the same way. The song ends with the singer admitting their own feelings of being lost and trapped in their own thoughts.


One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that the song is about depression and the struggle to find meaning in life. The singer is unable to connect with others and feels like they have no place in the world. They are consumed by their own thoughts and feel trapped in their own mind.

Another interpretation could be that the song is about feeling lost in a world that is too big and too fast-paced to keep up with.
