Lonely

Che Ecru's song 'Lonely' delves into the complexities of a past relationship that lingers in the present, filled with longing, regret, and unresolved emotions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is caught between the memories of a love that once was and the harsh reality of its end. The opening lines, 'How could I see / When you were the only one for me,' set the tone for a narrative steeped in nostalgia and sorrow. Each night, he finds himself alone, haunted by the absence of his former lover.

The song explores the tension between desire and practicality. Che Ecru reflects on the physical attraction he still feels, admitting that seeing his ex stirs up old feelings. However, he acknowledges that rekindling the relationship would be futile and potentially damaging. Lines like 'I've been messin' round with some others / And that there would just hurt it' reveal his internal conflict. He is torn between the temptation to reconnect and the understanding that it would only lead to more pain.

Throughout the song, there's a recurring theme of late-night encounters and the fleeting nature of these interactions. The chorus, 'Late night trips taking all day, all day / I used to talk to you, baby, in the hallway,' contrasts the past intimacy with the current state of their relationship, which is now marked by arguments and brief, unsatisfying meetings. Che Ecru's candid admission, 'Love and lust it's hard to trust / And I cannot say I love you,' encapsulates the struggle to differentiate between genuine affection and mere physical attraction. The song ultimately portrays a man grappling with loneliness and the difficulty of moving on from a love that still holds a significant place in his heart.
