Being Alone
Navigating Solitude: Allen Tate's Reflections on Isolation in 'Being Alone'
Lyrics
Go when you hear the call
Respond to the inner call to depart
Fly out, they'll shoot you down
Flee, facing potential opposition or danger
Wrapped up inside loose jaws
Feeling confined or trapped in a situation
The warmth of an open mouth
Comfort found in vulnerability or openness
Try and forget the cause
Attempt to disregard the root cause of a situation
I wouldn't worry now
Not feeling immediate concern or anxiety
Dress me and trim my claws
Requesting assistance and refinement while vulnerable
Defenses down, now take me out
Lowered defenses, asking to be taken away
Every way we are is every way we'll stay
Our nature defines our enduring state
Everything just turns out that way
Events unfold inevitably in a certain manner
Maybe it's being alone
Possibly the feeling or impact of solitude
Maybe it's being alone that gets you
Suggesting that being alone affects you
Maybe it's being alone
Reiteration of the impact of solitude
Maybe it's being alone that gets you down
Emphasizing the effect of being alone on one's mood
Heavy I'll fly away
Describing departing heavily or abruptly
Go crashing to the ground
An abrupt and forceful descent or failure
Hide in the trees for days
Seeking refuge and concealment for an extended period
They'll have to chase me out
Others will need to force you out of hiding
Tell me that I'm okay
Desiring reassurance about one's condition
I wouldn't hear you out
Unwillingness to listen to attempts to reassure
Sing all my shiny praise
Asking for admiration or praise
But sing it loud, you're fading out
However, the admiration is fading or diminishing
Every way we are is every way we'll stay
Our essence determines our enduring state
Everything just turns out that way
Events unfold naturally in a predictable way
Maybe it's being alone
Reflection on the impact or consequence of solitude
Maybe it's being alone that gets you
Reiterating the effect of being alone on an individual
Maybe it's being alone
Reemphasizing the consequence of solitude
Maybe it's being alone that gets you
Repeating the impact of being alone
Maybe it's being alone
Continued emphasis on the impact of solitude
Maybe it's being alone
Further emphasis on the impact of solitude
Maybe it's being alone
Continued emphasis on the impact of solitude
That gets you down
Elaborating on the adverse effects of being alone
That gets you down
Reiteration of the negative impact of solitude
That gets you down
Continued emphasis on the adverse effects of solitude
That gets you down
Further highlighting the negative impact of solitude
That gets you down
Continued emphasis on the adverse effects of solitude
That gets you down
