Lost

Ollie's song 'Lost' delves deep into the emotional and psychological struggles of someone grappling with intense inner pain and confusion. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels overwhelmed by their emotions, to the point where they contemplate the idea that not waking up might be a relief. This sentiment is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the depth of their despair and the constant battle they face within themselves.

The verses reveal a more detailed narrative of the protagonist's struggles. They describe feeling disconnected from their true self, pushing away those who try to help, and going through the motions of life without any real sense of purpose or joy. The mention of 'dark thoughts' and the fear of showing true emotions highlights the internal conflict and the stigma often associated with mental health issues. The protagonist's use of alcohol as a coping mechanism further underscores their desperation and the temporary nature of such solutions.

In the final verse, the imagery of being a 'visitor in my own skin' and hiding pain behind a smile speaks to the alienation and facade that many people with mental health struggles experience. The repeated refrain of 'I’m so lost' encapsulates the overall theme of the song, which is a poignant exploration of feeling adrift and unable to find a way out of the darkness. Ollie's raw and honest portrayal of these emotions resonates deeply, offering a voice to those who might feel similarly lost and alone.
