Going Alone
Navigating Solitude: Amy Lawton's Journey in 'Going Alone'
Lyrics
Sometimes I pretend
Sometimes, I pretend
That I’m somewhere else
Imagining being somewhere else
I’m not sure when It all got too real
Uncertain when reality became overwhelming
A whisper’s not my friend
A subtle communication is unsettling
And I’m lonely lonely lonely low
Feeling profoundly lonely
The more they fill my head
External influences leave me emotionally vacant
The more empty I feel
Increasing external input correlates with internal emptiness
I guess I gotta keep going alone
Acknowledging the necessity to continue one's journey alone
No one really sees me
Perceived lack of visibility by others
They turn their backs on girls like me
Experiencing rejection and neglect from society
And I’m just used to being an outsider
Familiarity with the role of an outsider
I guess I gotta keep going alone
Reiterating the need to proceed independently
No one really sees me
Continued sense of being overlooked
If there was a place that I could be
Fantasizing about an ideal place
But that was just a dream oh
Realizing that the dream is unattainable
I keep my head down
Maintaining a low profile to fit in
Try to blend into the crown
Attempting to blend into the crowd
But I’m all out here on my own
Being isolated despite efforts to assimilate
Hear the words they say
Hearing hurtful words and the emotional toll they take
And it’s hard to hide the toll it takes
Difficulties in concealing the impact
Tell myself don’t lose face
Self-admonishment to maintain composure
Don’t give it all away
Resolving not to reveal everything
I guess I gotta keep going alone
Emphasizing the need to continue the journey alone
No one really sees me
Feeling unnoticed by others
They turn their backs on girls like me
Experiencing societal rejection
And I’m just used to being an outsider
Familiarity with the outsider role
I guess I gotta keep going alone
Reaffirming the necessity of solitude
No one really sees me
Continued perception of being unseen
If there was a place that I could be
Wishing for an imaginary place
But that was just a dream oh
Understanding the impossibility of the dream
I guess I gotta keep going alone
Reiterating the need to proceed alone
No one really sees me
Continued sense of invisibility
They turn their backs on girls like me
Ongoing experience of societal rejection
And I’m just used to being an outsider
Acceptance of the outsider identity
I guess I gotta keep going alone
Stating the necessity to continue independently
No one really sees me
Persisting sense of being overlooked
If there was a place that I could be
Desiring an ideal place that remains elusive
But that was just a dream oh
Recognizing the dream as unattainable
