Let's Get Lost Lyrics

Cover art for Let's Get Lost lyrics by Elliott Smith

Isolation. Shutting people out of your life.

"Burning every bridge you cross" -- shunning everyone you meet. "Find some beautiful place to get lost" -- being totally alone, away from the people you feel so alienated from. "Had true love, made it die, pushed her away" -- unable to be totally giving and intimate in a relationship, always holding back. "I've been outside, invited in, but couldn't abide" -- people have reached out to be friends, but they are always shunned eventually, somehow.

Maybe I'm projecting, but I think this is a song about self-isolation and the inability to be really be close to anyone, time and time again always going back to being alone intentionally.

@8394147 Maybe so but it's a beautiful interpretation and that is more or less what I take away from the song.
