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
