Meaning Of Loneliness Lyrics - What's Wrong With This Picture - Van Morrison

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 backyard 

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 know the meaning of loneliness 

I have to say a word about solitude 

for the soul it sometimes they say can be good 

i'm partial to it myself i must confess 

nobody knows the meaning of loneliness 

Well there's sarte 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 on 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 

Bright lights, big city nowhere to run 

far cry from the streets where i was born 

i've been doing some travelling 

sometimes the road gets hard 

but you can also be lonely 

standing in your own backyard 

No, no, no, no, no, no, nobody knows 

the meaning of loneliness 

no, no, no, no, nobody knows 

the meaning of lonelinss 

nobody knows the meaning of loneliness
