| Incubus – Loneliest Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
This song explores themes of loneliness, uncertainty, and the search for genuine connection. Here's a deeper analysis of its content: ### Verse 1 **"I have forgotten what it feels like I don't remember, it's true It'll take all I have left to make this right But I'd like to try it with you"** The opening lines suggest a profound sense of detachment or amnesia regarding positive emotions or past experiences. The speaker acknowledges the effort required to restore these feelings and expresses a willingness to attempt this with another person, indicating hope and a desire for connection despite the challenges. ### Chorus **"I'm the loneliest I've ever been tonight I'm the loneliest I've ever been, that's right I'm the loneliest I've ever been tonight I'm the loneliest I've ever been tonight"** The repetition emphasizes the depth of the speaker's loneliness, which is at its peak. This repetition could also signify the cyclical nature of their feelings, where each night feels progressively lonelier. ### Verse 2 **"I have forgotten what it tastes like I don't remember, do you? Oh, it'll take all I have left to work this out Oh, push on 'til I'm breaking through"** Here, the sense of forgetfulness extends to sensory experiences (taste), further emphasizing the disconnection. The speaker questions if the other person can remember, seeking a shared understanding. The determination to work through these feelings despite the difficulty is again highlighted. ### Bridge **"I'm inspired by your proposition, but I don't trust my intuition I'm the loneliest I've ever been tonight"** The speaker feels inspired by an offer or opportunity for connection (a "proposition"), but their self-doubt and lack of trust in their intuition create a barrier. This line reveals internal conflict—wanting to trust and connect but being held back by insecurity. **"Yours is the curtain that I'd like to pull back But I can't be certain that you're really real Yours is the curtain that I'd like to pull back But I can't be certain that you're really real"** This metaphor of a curtain suggests a desire to uncover or understand the other person fully. However, the uncertainty about the other's authenticity (whether they are "really real") adds a layer of skepticism or fear of being deceived. ### Conclusion **"I'm the loneliest I've ever been tonight I'm the loneliest I've ever been, that's right I'm inspired by your proposition but I don't trust my intuition I'm inspired by your proposition but I don't trust my intuition So I guess I'm going digital tonight"** Reiterating the themes of loneliness and inspiration mixed with distrust, the final lines introduce the idea of "going digital," which could imply retreating into a virtual or less personal form of interaction. This could be seen as a coping mechanism or a way to avoid the vulnerability of face-to-face connection. ### Overall Themes - **Loneliness:** The central theme, described as the deepest the speaker has ever felt. - **Disconnection:** The speaker feels disconnected from emotions, memories, and sensory experiences. - **Hope and Effort:** Despite these feelings, there's a desire to reconnect and the willingness to put in the effort. - **Uncertainty and Skepticism:** The speaker's uncertainty about the authenticity of others and their own intuition creates a barrier to connection. - **Digital Interaction:** The mention of going digital hints at modern coping mechanisms and the challenges of genuine connection in the digital age. This song reflects a complex emotional landscape, highlighting the struggle between wanting to connect and the barriers that prevent it, set against a backdrop of profound loneliness. |

| Love and Death – The Abandoning Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| This song is a song about how he is changed by Christ and dying to his old self but is struggling with it and he pleads for Master or God to kill him or his old self and he's given up and body breaking down from it and it's a mind numbing process trying to be Godly but struggling every day with it so he pleads to have God give him strength. Powerful song. Really spoke to me as a growing Christian and an adult because I have felt exactly this in my walk with God or just in life and never had the words to express it until I heard this. Love and death are an awesome Christian band man. | |
| P.O.D. – Masterpiece Conspiracy Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| This song speaks to me as a Christian because what i get out of it is his struggle with other christians in the church putting on fake smiles and acting like they accept him but they condemn him by how he looks and don't bother to look at his heart. I when first saved went through this when i didnt dress in suits and be clean shaven with tattoos. I think he's calling out how hypocritical most christians can be by lying, backstabbing, decieving and acting holyer than thou. Point out others flaws before looking at their own sins that they keep with the skeletons in their closet. Idk thats what i got from it | |

It sounds like this song is about a struggling relationship with the girl he really loves how things can be good but by the end of the week they are fighting again. Now that they have broken up he's missing her knowiny they'll never ever be together again. This song really touches a sensitive place in my heart because of how much i can relate. My ex fiance and i were supposed to get married and we had this kind of relationship where we both loved eachother deeply but fought alot and it just became too much and now that shes gone i look back missing her very much wishing for those kind of nights again. Where we would fight then hold eachother. Now she's married to someone and im alone missing her. I relate deeply tom....i relate.. |

| @[hisunderdog:19019] this whole entire album bugged me just because when it came out in 2008 I was a new Christian. so I had not lived yet spiritually. now that I've heard this album coming up on my 10th year of being saved I understand what this whole entire album was about. some of it was family experiences, experiences Sonny had as a teenager before he got saved, and his newfound life in Christ which has its ups and downs due to our sinful nature or other people sadly. In a recent interview he said he had a problem with the Westernized version of Christianity where you have to look good, Be clean-shaven and no tattoos, which isn't biblical. But I think you hit it on the head it's his struggle with other Christians Who made him feel inferior. | |
