Lonely Bones is the 3rd song on Dodie’s 2022 EP Hot Mess. Dodie described it as being “about loneliness and where my brain goes in those moments” during a Youtube release stream.
In her Dork Artist Guide for Hot Mess, she described the track as such:

[Verse 1]
Oh, another day, another sunset
The walls watch my thighs intertwine
For the second-teenth time
Oh, lonely bones, have you forgotten?
Add another glass to the stale row
The authors look down as I shrug
With their capital smug
Oh, lonely bones, have you forgotten?
[Chorus]
In the grand scheme (Tell her it don't really matter)
Got a plan, see (Better it won't really end)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, lonely bones, wait for me
[Verse 2]
Over the bridge to midnight
Friends sleep obliviously thick
Something's making me sick
Oh, lonely bones, have you forgotten?
Add another night to the stale row
Seem to be dangerously close
Might abandon the host
Oh, lonely bones, have you forgotten?
[Chorus]
Oh, in the grand scheme (Tell her it don't really matter)
Got a plan, see (Better it won't really end)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, lonely bones, wait for me
[Bridge]
(Alright, ready to gang vocals, without the gang!)
La, la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la (*Clap-clap*)
La-la-la-la (*Clap-clap*)
Lonely bones, have you forgotten?
La, la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la (*Clap-clap*)
La-la-la-la (*Clap-clap*)
Lonely bones, have you forgotten?
[Outro]
Oh, in the grand scheme
I've got a plan, see
Ooh-ooh-ooh, lonely bones
