Analyzing the Backstreet Brain Part 3....... Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely
We end our journey on the most beautiful, most confusing of song on the Millennium album - Show Me the Meaning.... Does ANYONE get this song?!?!?!?! I've listened to it well over a million times, and it still makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Show me the meaning of being lonely
{Lonely??? That's not exactly the word I would use to describe the five of you.}
So many words for the broken heart
{Like what? Broken? Any others??}
It's hard to see in a crimson love
{Seeing red, huh? That's not good}
So hard to breathe, walk with me
{You can't see, and you want to go walking? Brian, you're turning blue!!}
And maybe
{Maybe what? Again with the stopping in mid-sentence! I know some of ya'll didn't finish high school, but that's no excuse!}
Nights of light so soon become
{We're taking a walk at night?}
Wild and free, I can feel the sun
{Wait, the sun doesn't come out at night! What are you trippin' on this time, AJ?}
Your every wish will be done
{The only sane thing they've said so far.}
They tell me
{Who is "they"? Are you guys still talking to the little voices in your heads?}
Chorus:
Show me the meaning of being lonely
{There is no way on God's green earth you five can be lonely!}
Is this the feeling I need to walk with?
{What feeling? And what's up with this walking stuff?}
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
{I don't know, why don't you tell me, cause I never said you couldn't}
There's something missing in my heart
{Brian, is this about your heart surgery?}
Life goes on as it never ends
{Uh-uh. People die, Kev. That's life.}
Eyes of stone observe the trends
{What?!?!?!}
They never say, forever gaze
{There's that "they" again. Stone doesn't talk, darlin'}
Guilty roads to an endless love
{Uh-oh, what did ya'll do now?}
There's no control, are you with me now
{No control over what? No, I'm not with you, you lost me on the first verse.}
Your every wish will be done
{So you've already said.}
Chorus- Repeat
{Is anyone figuring out this song yet???}
There is no where to run I have no place to go
{You can come over here, Howie..... OMG! Did I just say that?!?}
Surrender my heart, body, and soul
{Finally! Something that makes sense..... And it's sweet, too.}
How can it be you're asking me to feel the things you never show?
{Okay I could be practical with this or perverted. Which do you think I'm thinking?}
You are missing in my heart
{Yeah, don't I know it.}
Tell me why can't I be there where you are?
{I've said already! Are you even listening?}
Chorus- Repeat Twice
{I give up!!!!!}
Ok, if you're as frustrated as me now, you can go back Home
