Alone
Discovering Life's Loneliness Through Andrew Kamen's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
Life is too long
Life feels excessively lengthy
For my taste
Life's duration exceeds personal preference
Last thing I saw
The final visual memory was of your face
Was your face
Recollection of seeing your face last
Finally my near-sight became corrected
My vision improved to see clearly at close range
Join a collective, we could
Suggesting to form a group where mutual understanding and exploration are possible
Become each other and discover the relationship from
To comprehend the relationship from the viewpoint of the other person
The other's perspective
Awareness of your regret for anticipating my forgetfulness
I know you regret
Realization that you expected me to forget
That you grew to expect
A promise not to forget, despite past instances
I would forget
Commitment to remember if a similar situation arises
But I promise I won't
If repeated, the possibility of facing death alone is acknowledged
If it happens again
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of potential isolation leading to death
I guess I'll die here alone
An expression of accepting the likelihood of dying alone
I guess I'll die here alone
Reiteration of the acceptance of dying alone
Drift out on this air mattress
Metaphorical representation of drifting away, losing inner essence
Deflate my soul
Symbolic deflation of the soul into a state of insanity
Into madness
Desiring a blessing for direction in life
Bless the ground
Seeking guidance for the appropriate path
Just tell me where I'm supposed to go now
Request for guidance on where to proceed
She looked around and said
A moment where the partner expresses uncertainty about direction
I'm sorry babe I don't know
Partner expressing lack of clarity or knowledge regarding direction
You gotta find
Encouragement to understand perspectives from both sides
The other's perspective
Acknowledgment of regret for assuming forgetfulness
I know you regret
Realization of the expectation of forgetfulness
That you grew to expect
Promise to remember despite prior assumptions
I would forget
Commitment to recall if a similar situation arises again
But I promise I won't
If a recurrence happens, facing the prospect of dying alone
If it happens again
Recognition of potential isolation leading to death, once more
I guess I'll die here alone
Expression of accepting the likelihood of dying alone, once more
I guess I'll die here alone
Reiteration of the acceptance of dying alone, once more
I guess I'll die here
Reaffirmation of the likelihood of dying alone
