Analysis of Lost
Faces, poses, talking, walking
Action everywhere
A soul nearby, barely following
Belonging nowhere
If ever direction were a friend
Now it leaves him wondering
And be this day bright in light
Deceived sight says otherwise
Hazy thoughts clear to conclude
The most suitable catch-22:
For the soul to find a silent path
Noise must be pursued ...
