Only Lonely
Survivor's Solitude: A Tale of Isolation and Revelation
Lyrics
I can't remember anything about last night
I cannot recall any details from the previous night.
All I know is that I'm not supposed to be alive, yeah
I am alive despite not expecting to be after the events of the night.
The party was a blast and everybody had fun
The party was enjoyable for everyone.
But now here I am
I am now in a different state or situation.
All alone
I am currently completely alone.
All alone
-All alone
-Only lonely, lonely only, all alone
Expressing the feeling of being only lonely.
I walked by the river, but the river is no more, no
The river I walked by is now devoid of water, fish, and life, replaced by alcoholic drinks.
There's no water nor fishes, not a soul, no!
-But Dixon's whiskey, beer, rum and poisoned wine
-Quench my thirst fine
Drinking alcohol alone to quench thirst and cope with solitude.
And I'll drink it all alone
-All alone
Reiteration of being alone and lonely.
All alone
-Only lonely, lonely only, all alone
-Is hard to believe that I am the only who survived
The narrator is surprised to be the only survivor after being a mere preacher during a catastrophic event.
I was just the preacher when the world was on fire, yeah
-That day I went to the John and slammed the door, oh no!
A realization that it was the vault, not the restroom, that ensured survival.
And now I realize
-It was the vault
-It was the vault
-Not the John
-Only lonely, lonely only
Emphasizing loneliness in the vault.
Only lonely, lonely only
-Only lonely, lonely only, in the vault
-I'm alone, like a stone in the wild
Expressing the isolation felt in the wild but finding some positives.
I'm alone, and I know I'll go nuts
-I'm alone, but it's not that bad
-I'm alone, oh my god, what've I done?
Regret and disbelief about the narrator's actions.
I'm all alone, and all it's free of charge
Being alone, embracing newfound freedom, and establishing oneself as a leader.
I'm all alone, I'm the new king to this land
-I'm alone
Reiteration of being alone.
Only on my own
Alone and self-sufficient.
I'm alone
Continuing the theme of being alone, possibly in a new beginning.
In another dawn
-Only alone
-Alone
Emphasizing solitude.
