If No One's Around
Navigating Solitude: Finding Hope in Aaron Stephens' If No One's Around
Lyrics
The money is out
The financial resources are depleted or unavailable.
The party is over
The social gathering or celebration has concluded.
Wake up in a cold, cold sweat and I'm still not sober
Waking up in a state of anxiety, possibly from excessive drinking, and still not being sober.
And I don't know how
Expressing uncertainty about facing the upcoming day.
I'm gonna face the day
The speaker is unsure how to confront or deal with the challenges of the day.
My head keeps spinning 'round
A sense of disorientation or confusion in the speaker's mind.
Things ain't going my way

I need a friend to call
The speaker is expressing a need for companionship and support.
I need a hand to hold
The desire for someone to offer physical comfort and reassurance.
Someone to hear me out

When I'm feeling low
Seeking emotional support during difficult times.
I need a sign to guide me

When I get lost

Is there even a sound
Raising a question about the significance of sound in isolation.
If no one's around
Raising the question of whether there is any sound when no one is around.
The hardest times are the lonely ones

Looking down the barrel of a bottle or a loaded gun

I'd hate if you saw the shape I'm in
