Sometimes I feel so- I don't know - lonely. The kind of helpless feeling when everything you're used to has been ripped away. Like there's no more gravity, and I'm left to drift in outer space with no idea where I'm going'Like a little lost Sputnik?'I guess so.
In Haruki Murakami's "Sputnik Sweetheart," the protagonist expresses a deep sense of loneliness and disorientation. This feeling emerges when everything familiar is suddenly gone, leaving a void akin to floating in space without direction. The imagery of drifting like a lost satellite captures the essence of feeling unmoored and helpless in a vast, indifferent universe.
The comparison to a "little lost Sputnik" highlights the theme of isolation, emphasizing a profound disconnect from reality and the emotional struggle that accompanies such feelings. This metaphor serves as a poignant reminder of how personal loss can leave us adrift, yearning for stability and purpose while grappling with the unknown.
