Description

It feels as if loneliness is not a mood, but a smell. It is as pungent as washing powder that has been overused, and now even a sweater in the cold whispers of longing. The crowd, the sea, your own sheets - everything becomes cramped because it catches up with you everywhere and sits down next to you without invitation. The song sounds like a confession that hiding is useless: masks slip, smiles don't save you, and inner hunger scrapes at the walls from within. The irony is that even if you don't say anything, people still seem to “sense” it - in your face, in your gait, in the aroma of coffee. The result is a portrait of a gentle but ruthless companion who eats bit by bit until only music remains to drown out the silence, at least a little.

Lyrics and translation

Original

sometimes i feel like people smell the lonely on me
it seeped in my perfume, or it spilled all over my laundry
sometimes I feel like they can see it on my person
like its written on my forehead, every language, every version
she’s lonely - she don’t got no purpose
and I say what they want but it’ll always be the wrong things
cause i forget they can smell the lonely on me
in crowds, in towns, my house
there’s no where that i’m safe
at the beach, in my sheets
i just can’t seem to get some space
lonely finds a way
sometimes I feel like people smell the lonely on me
like it slipped into my pocket, or I had it with my coffee
sometimes it feels like they see right through my facade
is it how i do my makeup, the way I tend to walk
she’s lonely she don’t got no
one, no how, no way
she will get there someday
but right now she’s pretty lonely
lonely lonely lonely
there’s no where i can hide
it finds me every time
my lonely eats me alive
i barely sleep at night
i live inside my mind
my lonely eats me alive
sometimes i feel like people smell the lonely on me
it eats me alive
every time
