Alone
Embracing Freedom Through Flaws: Edge Of Paradise's 'Alone' Meaning
Lyrics
Another day gone
Reflecting on the passing of another day
Back to the dwelling
Returning to a place of residence
Flipping through channels
Changing TV channels, perhaps seeking distraction
Tasting my tears
Tasting the saltiness of tears, an emotional experience
Dreaming that someone
Wishing for someone to heal emotional wounds
Will take my scars away
Desiring relief from scars, both physical and emotional
And show me
Seeking someone to reveal the elusive concept of happiness
Elusive happiness
Acknowledging a desire for happiness that is hard to grasp
My phantom wish
Describing a wish that seems intangible or unreal
A shapeless silhouette
Describing a wish as a vague and undefined form
Take me far away
Expressing a desire to be taken to a distant place
I know I’m flawed
Acknowledging personal flaws
I know I’m scarred
Acknowledging personal scars and past experiences
But in my weakness
Finding freedom in vulnerability and weakness
I am free
Emphasizing freedom within personal weaknesses
I know I’m reckless
Recognizing a tendency towards recklessness
I made mistakes
Admitting past mistakes and errors in judgment
But through despair I find my way
Finding a way forward through moments of despair
Alone, alone
Expressing a sense of being alone
Should I surrender
Contemplating whether to give in to unfortunate circumstances
To cruel misfortune
Questioning the pursuit of fleeting moments
Should I keep chasing
Considering whether to continue chasing elusive moments
These fleeing moments
Reflecting on the confusion inherent in life
Life is confusing
---
What are we living for
Questioning the purpose of life, living in shadows
In shadows hoping
Having hope in the shadows for someone to guide
Someone to show us evermore
Desiring guidance and understanding
My phantom wish
Reiteration of a wish for guidance and understanding
A shapeless silhouette
Describing a wish with an undefined form
Take me far away
Expressing a desire to be taken away to a distant place
I know I’m flawed
Acknowledging personal flaws
I know I’m scarred
Acknowledging personal scars and past experiences
But in my weakness
Finding freedom in vulnerability and weakness
I am free
Emphasizing freedom within personal weaknesses
I know I’m reckless
Recognizing a tendency towards recklessness
I made mistakes
Admitting past mistakes and errors in judgment
But through despair I find my way
Finding a way forward through moments of despair
Alone, alone
Expressing a sense of being alone
I’ll give my all
Committing to giving one's all
And I don’t need a thing
Expressing self-sufficiency and contentment
To embrace my happiness
Acknowledging personal flaws and embracing happiness
I know I’m flawed
Reiterating awareness of personal flaws
I know I’m scared
Reiterating awareness of personal fears
But in my weakness
Finding freedom in vulnerability and weakness
I am free
Emphasizing freedom within personal weaknesses
Alone, alone
Expressing a sense of being alone
Alone, alone
Reiterating a profound sense of solitude
