One and Only
Embracing Solitude: Discovering the Depths of Self in 'One and Only' by alone@home
Lyrics
Whatdya know?
Expressing curiosity or disbelief, asking for information.
They're at it again
Referring to a repetitive behavior or situation involving others.
I'm drowning 'em out
Trying to block out external influences or distractions.
The best that I can
Doing the best one can to cope or handle a situation.
Turning my head
Turning attention away, possibly avoiding something.
Back over my shoulder
Reflecting on the past, possibly with nostalgia or regret.
Dreaming of being alone
Imagining a scenario of solitude and independence.
A place of my own
Desiring a personal space, a place to call one's own.
Now I lay me down
Recalling a bedtime prayer, seeking comfort and protection.
Nobody beside me
Emphasizing a state of being alone, with no companionship.
Logging me out
Exiting or disconnecting from a situation or relationship.
And cutting my ties
Cutting ties with others, possibly for personal growth.
Cuz I'm all I need
Affirming self-sufficiency and independence.
I'm my one and only
Stating self-reliance, being one's own source of strength.
So why do I see you
Expressing confusion or surprise about perceiving someone else.
When I close my eyes
Experiencing an unexpected connection or presence.
And start to fall asleep?
Questioning the intrusion of external influences during sleep.
Tell me again
Seeking clarification on reasons for not leaving a situation.
Why I never left
Reflecting on a past decision to stay rather than leave.
And boarded a plane
Imagining a missed opportunity to explore or change.
That carried me east
Contemplating a different life path or location.
To live upon a mountaintop
Visualizing a remote and isolated place on top of a mountain.
Away from everything
Expressing a desire to be away from all external influences.
Now I lay me down
Repeating a bedtime prayer, emphasizing solitude.
Nobody beside me
Reiterating a state of being alone, emphasizing self-sufficiency.
Logging me out
Repeating the act of disconnecting and cutting ties with others.
And cutting my ties
Continuing to emphasize self-sufficiency and independence.
Cuz I'm all I need
Affirming self-reliance, being one's own source of strength.
I'm my one and only
Stating self-sufficiency, reiterating independence.
So why do I see you
Expressing confusion or surprise about perceiving someone else during sleep.
When I close my eyes
Experiencing an unexpected connection or presence during sleep.
And start to fall asleep?
Questioning the intrusion of external influences during sleep.
I'm all that I need
Reiterating self-sufficiency, emphasizing self-reliance.
My one and only
Affirming self-reliance, being one's own source of strength.
