Lonesome Is A State of Mind Lyrics by Djo, reflects on themes of personal change, disillusionment, and emotional growth. The lyrics explore the feeling of going through familiar cycles—like déjà vu—but with new awareness. The narrator lets go of old expectations, learns to live with solitude, and starts valuing their own company. There’s a shift from relying on others to finding strength in independence. While the past brought confusion and misalignment, the future now feels open and self-guided. Ultimately, it’s about moving on, accepting change, and choosing peace over old patterns.

Lonesome Is A State of Mind Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is it all the same?
That I’m not giving up
Tale as old as time
You’re not quick enough
I’ve seen this movie before
I think I’ve heard this song
Your future’s right out the door
Couldn’t get it wrong
And now I drive a truck
And it drives pretty well
My dog is at my house, again
But I live somewhere else
[Pre-Chorus]
I swear I’ve had this dinner before
I know I’ve heard that song
My future’s not what I thought
I think I thought it wrong
[Chorus]
It’s one on one
Two for life
Thought that you were on my side
Lonesome is a statе of mind
I couldn’t change it
So don’t ask me anymore
I’m onе
Two for life
Thought that you were on my side
Lonesome is a state of mind
No, I won’t be lonely anymore
[Verse 2]
But now I take the train
It’s good enough for me
Time it takes an edge
And grinds it clean
Turns a scar to a seam
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve shot this picture before
Tell me what’s that song?
(It’s killing me)
My future’s up in the air
Guess I’ll play along
[Chorus]
It’s one on one
Two for life
Thought that you were on my side
Lonesome is a state of mind
Yeah, the future’s over
Don’t drag me anymore
I’m done
Two for life
Thought that you were on my side
Lonesome is a state of mind
No, you’re not lonely when you’re hanging with yourself
[Bridge]
I was one
Two was nice
Twenty-nine and misaligned
(Twenty-nine and misaligned)
But now I need to take my time
(Now I need to take my time)
I think I’ll take it
Show that kid to the door
[Outro]
(Lonesome is a state of mind)
Yeah, the future’s over
Don’t drag me anymore, I’m done
(Thought that you were on my side)
(Lonesome is a state of mind)
No, you’re not lonely when you’re hanging with yourself
[Spoken Outro]
Let’s do a uh-
Let’s listen back on you and I’ll just stand here
