Endless Lonely

*Play this song on YouTube.*

"**Endless Lonely**" is an October Noir song included on their fourth album *Letters to Existence*, released in 2023. This single was the very first song released from the album a year and two days before the album itself came out, on September 20, 2022, which is extremely long of the time between these releases.

Since this song was released so early and even before all the other tracks in this album were even written, the credits on guitar and keyboards are unlike other tracks. As "Endless Lonely" was written and released before Trey Ozinga came to the band on guitar and Doug Lane moving to keyboards, Doug played guitar on this one while Tom Noir played keyboards along with vocals and bass ever since their former keyboardist Justin Thompson left the band in July 2021—two months before their previous album *Fate, Wine, & Wisteria* came out.

This song contains the late '80s/early '90s elemental style, and there's a quintessential ballad with chimey sound in them on top with powerful and raspy vocals typical of doom and goth rock in the beginning half before it slows down and gets more melancholy. This song is about the virgin girl who is no longer on Earth, making him lonely for so long that it seems endless, although except when seeing her as a ghost in his dream. "Endless Lonely" is divided into two cantos—"Endless Lonely" and "Voice Inside Her".

## Lyrics

**[Canto I. "Endless Lonely"]**

Where Earth meets Earth

Is this it

Eternal

Golden virgin go-go girl

dancing on an upturned world

The northern star

stalking ghost

A voice that haunts

but her lips tell all that she won’t speak

A single kiss is all knowing

She’s in my head

and in my sleep

These talons sharp

Well her teeth cut in so fucking deep

I’ll never want to know release

But I’m frozen in my

endless lonely

But the all seeing eye

never saw coming

Soft spoken

or gentle hand

Quells the beast

like a child in the deep forest

An outward reach forbidden grasp

Who is this queen

to give advance

The mirror shows

It’s myself inside the looking glass

So little time so much has passed

But I’m frozen in my

endless lonely

But the all seeing eye

never saw coming

**[Canto II. "Voice Inside Her"]**

Along came the spider

with an entangling web

The voice that’s inside her

but she won’t give in

And I never lost hope

And I’ve never let go

until death do I part

I hope she knows

She knows

Time stands still

yet moves so fast

I’m so focused

and I’ve never been so sad and scared

Forever here now never there

Along came the spider

with an entangling web

The voice that’s inside her

but she won’t give in

And I never lost hope

And I’ve never let go

until death do I part

I hope she knows

She knows

Along came the spider

with an entangling web

The voice that’s inside her

but she won’t give in

And I never lost hope

And I’ve never let go

until death do I part

I hope she knows

She knows
