Meaning of Loneliness

歌詞

Lost in a strange city Nowhere to turn Far cry from the streets that I came from It can get lonely When you're travelling hard But you can even be lonely Standing in your own back yard Nobody knows the existential dread Of the things that go on inside Someone else's head Whether it be trivial Or something that Dante said But baby nobody knows the meaning of loneliness No matter how well you know someone You can only ever guess How can you ever really know somebody else It takes more than a lifetime Just to get to know yourself Nobody knows the meaning of loneliness I have to say a word about solitude For the soul it sometimes they say can be good And I'm partial to it myself well I must confess Nobody knows the meaning of loneliness Well there's Sartre and Camus Nietzsche and Hesse If you dig deep enough You gonna end up in distress And no one escapes having to live life under duress And no one escapes the meaning of loneliness Well they say keep it simple when it gets to be a mess And fame and fortune Never brought anyone happiness I must be lucky Some of my friends think that I'm really blessed Nobody knows the meaning of loneliness No, no, no, no, nobody knows the meaning of loneliness No, no, no, nobody knows the meaning of loneliness Nobody knows the meaning of loneliness
