"You confess a lot of things But you confess alone The absense of a person brings The burning question home" Would seem they suggest that being lonely can cause your mind to race. Happiness could escape you with an ever-wandering mind. "The nights are long, they turn to days And sleep is not a friend The voices though you hear them sing Are only in your head" Re-enforces my point I think. Hard to sleep with a racing mind. Could also elude to anxiety or possibly schizophrenia but I don't see much evidence they're referencing that throughout the song. "Some roads are empty Some roads just go on And though you may walk alone, my friend I know it won't be long" Everyone has their problems, and while many will see it as a never-ending process, like having depression or anxiety, you can make it to the end. The loneliness is temporary, for you will find that person to confide in (or thing depending on what satisfies the need to not be lonely). "I know, your heart is there It's there inside" You're still capable of love or happiness or whatever you think you've lost. |
