Harvey Danger - Why I'm Lonely Lyrics
Saint Leonard touched a Philistine --
A sacred tongue, a perfect rhyme --
But even he was "not much nourished
By modern love."
And she replied with a blank expression
(an object lesson in making me feel benign)
Then whispered, "Independence and indifference
Are the wings which allow the heart to fly."
Feelings I have had too often,
Still no plan in place
To soften the inevitable blow
(the rituals we know).
And with the right revolting piety of tone,
Can make you want to lock yourself
In a deep dark dungeon.
But everybody follows pleasure,
Everybody gets somewhere. I swear,
I wish I could be less aware...
Now it's absolutely clear to me
That solitude is not the same as singularity,
But that's not why I'm lonely.
No, that's not why I'm lonely.

Harvey Danger Why I'm Lonely Comments
A formative song for me as a teenager cutting my teeth in indie music. This song in particular by Harvey Danger was like something I hadn’t heard before and still probably don’t find. “Independence and indifference are the wings which allow the heart to fly” is layered to the point where I don’t think that any two people you asked would have the same explanation on what they intended to convey. Like a classical tragic play, instead an indie band’s blasphemously titled King James Album unrecognized pearl
Couldn't agree more. It was a really sad day when I saw their last album up for free and the text explaining they're done.
A crime indeed... Wish these guys were still around, love the witty atheistic lyrics.
