I Walk Alone
Solitude's Yearning: A Song of Longing
Lyrics
I walk alone where the streets are paved with lovers
I navigate through a place where love is abundant and evident in the streets.
They're hand in hand and they're deep in one another
Couples are openly expressing their deep affection for each other by holding hands.
And why can't it be you and me
The singer questions why the same romantic connection can't exist between them.
Together we'd be so happy
Expresses the belief that being together would bring happiness.
Look at these lines on the map of my face... I'm tired
The lines on the face symbolize weariness and fatigue.
Of all the nights I'm awake with my desire
Expresses tiredness from countless nights spent awake due to intense desires.
I want to lay down with you again
Expresses a longing to be close and intimate again.
I want to believe in a dream
Expresses a desire to believe in a shared dream or aspiration.
I walk alone
Reiterates the theme of walking alone, emphasizing solitude.
I ache to have you, to hold you close
Expresses a strong desire to have and hold the person closely.
And let you know I want you always in my arms
Desires to communicate a constant yearning to keep the person in their arms.
I walk alone
Repeats the theme of walking alone, reinforcing a sense of solitude.
I need to see you, to feel you here
Expresses a need to physically see and feel the presence of the person.
And let it heal the lonely fears inside our hearts
Believes that such presence will alleviate the lonely fears in their hearts.
Too many hurried places to go
Expresses frustration with the fast-paced and busy nature of life's demands.
When all I want is to be with you
Desires to be with the person instead of rushing to various places.
Too many worried moments to fill
Highlights the contrast between worrying moments and the desire for stillness with the person.
When all I want is to hold you still
Expresses a longing to hold the person amid life's worries.
Now the sun will fade away
Anticipates the end of a bright period, possibly symbolizing a positive time fading away.
To draw the curtain on an empty day
Symbolizes the closure of an unfulfilling day with the drawing of a curtain.
In my heart it rains, to walk alone again
Emotionally conveys the internal struggle and loneliness despite external circumstances.
