Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere
But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
Now no one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat they're always free
No surprise, no mystery
In this theater that I call my soul
I always play the starring role
So lonely
So lonely (I feel low)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)
So lonely (I feel low)
(I feel so lonely)
So lonely (I feel low)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)
So lonely (I feel low)
(I feel so lonely)
So lonely (I feel low)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)
So lonely (I feel low)
(I feel so lonely)
So lonely (I feel low)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)
Lonely, I'm so lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
Lonely, I'm so lonely
I feel so alone
I feel low
I feel so
Feel so low
I feel low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
Low, I feel low
I feel low
I feel low
I feel so lonely
I feel so lonely
I feel so lonely, lonely, lonely, lone
Lone, lone, lone
I feel so lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)
So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)
So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so alone)
So lonely (I feel so lonely)

But I just can't convince myself

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
i think this song is about him being lonely.
You would make an excellent politician; you are incredibly bright.
Brilliant! I never would have guessed it.
"In this theatre that I call my soul I always play the starring role"
this is amazing how someone could think of relating our soul to a theatre. its wonderful lyrics.
I think I understand the meaning of the song because I'm going through something similar. When someone breaks your heart, you push them away as far as you can and act like you don't care, but you're really in a lot of pain. Then after a while you may still not want that person, but then you realize nobody else is really on deck for you and you're left to feel lonely.
What the hell is your problem, dude from over a year ago? This is an awesome song. ...Probably the first modern punk rock song put on the radio...and it was released in the late 70's!!! A good, slow and fast song for the heartbroken to listen to.
This song makes me happy. Police used to be so baddass why does sting have to be such a boner now? I blew the speakers out on my mother's 1989 LeBarron with this song.
I saw them playing yesterday here, at the Santiago National Stadium (a 50.000 crowd). Amazing, perfect show. But when they where playing this song, Sting changed a portion of the lyrics. He replaced the line "Welcome to this one man show" for "Welcome to the Stewart Copeland show". I'm not really sure if Stewart appreciated the inclusion, as he kept looking him with a fixed expression while playing for the rest of the song. Could there be some interesting backstory here?
This song makes me think of when Eragon fucked things up with Arya.
you're so right!!! it's a great piece of rocknroll!
An amazing song by a dope group. the meaning is pretty obvious
'So Lonely' is reggae, of course (the basic rhythm copped from Marley's 'No Woman No Cry'), that is, until Sting's painful wailings about his fate and his feelings climax in the frantic 'so lonely, so lonely...' refrain. And hey, is there anybody else out there who thinks that the last verse of the song, with Sting's rabid 'I feel so lonely... so lonely, lonely, lonely, lo...' is the greatest tension-building moment in the entire Police catalogue? No wonder Bob Marley himself appreciated the band; their being able to capture the reggae spirit so fine would suggest such an issue. [George Starostin]
