Lyrics
7.5 billion people running around the world
7.5 billion people are moving around the world
Selling dreams, living lies, slipping down a hole
People are selling dreams, living lies, and falling into a negative situation
They're grieving, yeah they're living in the past
People are grieving and dwelling in the past
Seldom comes what they want, what they're wishing for
Desires are rarely fulfilled, and wishes often go unanswered
An escape, another level, all hoping for
People hope for an escape to another level
Some freedom or the misery will last
There is a yearning for freedom, or else misery will endure
Ohh...can they make it?
Questions about whether individuals can overcome challenges
Ohh..can they break it?
-Ohh..can they move it?
-Oh...can they?
-You're not alone
Reassurance that the listener is not alone, repeated for emphasis
You're not alone
-You're not alone
-You're not alone (You're not alone, You're not alone)
-Night after night, I lie awake
The speaker struggles with insomnia and contemplation
I'm staring off into open space
Staring into open space, feeling haunted
I'm haunted by the ghosts of my friends
Haunted by the memories of lost friends
Keeping to myself, don't know who to blame
The speaker is isolated, unsure who to blame
I've been beating myself up about everything
The speaker is self-critical and tormented by past actions
It's a heartache, and the karma never ends
Expressing heartache, with karma seeming endless
Ohh...with a heart like mine, there is no closure
There is no closure with a heart like the speaker's, suggesting compromise for lasting relationships
So...let's compromise, so we last forever
-Not alone...
Reiteration of the message that the listener is not alone
You're not alone
-You're not alone
-You're not alone
-Be with the ones who love you, who go above and beyond for you
Encouragement to be with those who truly love and support, emphasizing that the listener is not alone
Out of the dark, into the light, into their arms, they'll hold you tight
-Be with the ones who love you, who go above and beyond for you
-Out of the dark, into the light, into their arms, so hold on tight, you're not alone
-You're not alone, You're not alone
Repeating the affirmation that the listener is not alone
You're not alone, You're not alone
-You're not alone, You're not alone
-You're not alone, You're not alone
-You're not alone, You're not alone
