verse 1 I wish you lonely If only for one day So that you might see routine for me Since the day I was born, born Think of yourself only Of everything you demand You want and you need And to hell To hell with everybody else, everybody else verse 2 Turn the key slowly Remember how I can't sleep Or if ever I do, an earthquake An earthquake couldn't agitate, couldn't agitate verse 3 Tombs are full of fools who gave their life upon command Of monarchy, oligarch, head of state, potentate And now never coming back, never coming back Tombs are full of fools who gave their life upon command Of romance gone wrong The same old glue and never coming true, never coming true Tombs are full of fools who gave their life upon command Oh heroin, heroin, heroin, heroin, heroin And never coming back, never coming back verse 4 I wish you lonely Like the last tracked humpback whale Chased by gunships from Bergen But never giving in, never giving in

À propos de la chanson

La chanson exprime un souhait amer pour que l’autre ressente la solitude, ne serait-ce qu’un jour, afin qu'il réalise l'impact de ses exigences sur ceux qui l’entourent. Il évoque un sentiment de désespoir face à la routine et aux sacrifices que l’on fait dans la vie, en mettant en lumière la futilité de se plier aux désirs de l’autorité ou à des passions destructrices. À travers des images puissantes, l’artiste souligne la tragédie des vies gaspillées, que ce soit par ambition, amour malheureux ou dépendance, et il émet une profonde critique sur la condition humaine, aussi bien collective qu’individuelle.
