Everyone is Fundamentally Lonely

Everyone is Lonely is a song by Heather Anne Campbell about transforming your loneliness into goodness for others. The vocals were performed by Liz Beebe as part of © 2014 Fox Broadcasting Company’s Animation Domination High-Def.

The meaning behind the tune is quite simple, so rather than give you a summary we’ve instead chosen to do something rare and include the lyrics if you’d like to follow along while you listen:

Hope you enjoy!

LYRICS:

We’re all the same

No matter how we’ve grown

Colors of our skin

Defections in our bones

There's one we share

Everyone everywhere

We're all alone…

We're all alone

Everyone is fundamentally lonely

Whether you trust science or a church

Because we’re scared

Some of us make pairs

And some of us are still on the search

But everyone is fundamentally lonely

So here’s daily advice

You’re in pain

And everyone feels the same

So... just be nice

What do you lose

When life’s already the worst

Leave a bigger tip

Let that guy in line first

We’re all lonely

Pay for their coffee

Pick up that trash…

I know it’s not your trash

Everyone is fundamentally lonely

Sometimes it comes out as rage

Screaming in a store

Cause they’re lonely at the core

So be calm when you engage

Everyone is fundamentally lonely

And I’m not saying to sacrifice

Lend some support

At the airport

It won’t kill you to be nice

Everything is stupid

Success is a projection

We’re all quietly helpless

Being nice is a connection

Blaring your car horn

Won’t make you feel tremendous

But picking up something someone dropped

Will make this whole thing less horrendous

Everyone is fundamentally lonely

Even the ones who pretend they’re not

Be nice today

It’ll make things just slightly okay

On this lonely, little blue dot.
