The Empty - What is The meaning of Loneliness?

lyric by Noire WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LONELINESS? [Verse 1] I cannot see myself in loneliness, I was never afraid to feel. The past was turbulent, but it never destroyed who I became. You can be the smartest person alive, but if you're afraid to feel intensely, you'll suffer just as deeply. You call it protection, but you're only running away. [Pre-Chorus] Just because one flower hurt you, doesn't mean they all will. You don't have to touch blindly— just get close enough to know. And when you finally understand it, don't be afraid to feel it all. [Chorus] So why loneliness? Why are you afraid of love? Are you afraid of rejection, or afraid of becoming enough? You found the heart that never asked you to be perfect, and still you turned away because you were afraid to feel it. Tell me— are you afraid of the heart, or afraid of what it could become? [Verse 2] She was always there beside you, through the best and the worst. Not out of pity, but because she loved you first. She gave you a piece of herself, became an open book, and you still couldn't read it without being afraid of what it meant. You know now what she felt— more than stars could ever count, more than grains of sand beneath an endless sky. And you were afraid of that. [Pre-Chorus 2] You thought you were falling into an abyss, but you were only falling into a heart. You called it danger, when it was only a chance to start...give a chance...this is not end. How can you know what you want if you never let yourself try? How can you call it love if you keep running every time? [Chorus] So why loneliness? Why are you afraid of love? When the right one comes closer, you push her away because it's too much. But somehow you want the wrong one, the one who keeps you confused. Tell me, what is the meaning of everything you choose? You're not afraid of being alone— you're afraid of being known. [Bridge] You live inside a cocoon you refuse to leave. You chain the way you feel just so you don't have to believe. Are you afraid to face yourself? Are you afraid to set yourself free? How long will you punish your heart for what someone else made you believe? I trusted you. You broke that trust. I gave you a thousand pieces of myself, and you wouldn't accept them because you were afraid. [Breakdown] I am tired of being afraid. I am tired of staying silent. I am tired of being alone. I'm tired... I'm still in denial, still learning how to accept it. You know. I know. Maybe you never wanted loneliness— maybe you only wanted somewhere to hide from yourself. [Final Chorus] So why loneliness? When someone loved you without chains? She tried, she stayed, she opened her heart, and you still chose your fears again. Before you, she had already loved. Before you, she had already tried. And she could still love without chains— if you hadn't made her say goodbye. [Outro] Perhaps in another life you'll find the courage to feel. Perhaps in another life you won't mistake love for danger. But not in this one. I already gave you everything I was brave enough to give. And now... I have nothing left to prove. Not in this life. And never again.
