Alone
Echoes of Love and Pain: Johnny Marz's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I put it all on the line
I have risked everything for this.
Now she just lives in my mind
She exists only in my thoughts now.
Depression for days at a time
Experiencing prolonged periods of sadness.
Act like I'm doing just fine
Presenting a facade of well-being.
It's funny we try to rewind
We attempt to go back in time, but face obstacles.
But static is all that we find
Encountering interference, finding no clear path.
So we just pause where we're at
Pausing at the current state, concluding a phase.
It's the end of the act
The current situation marks the end of a performance.
Credits follow behind
Credits roll, acknowledging the conclusion.
Guess I'm in love with the pain
Accepting and embracing the pain.
Guess you're in love with the same
You also find solace in the same pain.
In love with the stress
Finding love amidst stress.
In love with the mess
Finding love in the midst of chaos.
In love with you saying my name
Cherishing the partner saying your name.
But we can't seem to let go
Struggling to move on.
Don't wanna end up on our own
Fearing the prospect of being alone.
Our trauma been taking control
Our past experiences control us.
We hurt but we don't let it show
We bear pain but conceal it.
Still love at our lowest of lows
Love persists even in our lowest moments.
We both gave a part of our souls
We've shared a significant part of ourselves.
We're both trying to keep it composed
Struggling to maintain composure.
Blood drips as I'm holding this rose
Symbolic reference to self-harm or sacrifice.
I'm watching you sleep in my clothes
Observing the partner sleeping in your clothes.
This chapter I don't want to close
Reluctant to close this chapter of our lives.
Our anger will turn us to strangers
Anger may lead us to become strangers.
That's just how it goes
Accepting the inevitability of change.
"You ever do this
Introducing a reflective conversation.
You think back on all the times you had with someone and you just replay it in your head over and over again and you look for the first signs of trouble?"
Replaying memories and looking for warning signs.
"Maybe you should write a book"
Suggesting the idea of turning experiences into art.
"What?"
Surprise or disbelief at the suggestion.
"Well you know Henry Miller said the best way to get over a woman is to turn her into literature."
Quoting advice to transform pain into literature.

"Whatever man it's fine, I don't need this crap really, its just, you know
A dismissive comment expressing comfort despite loneliness.
I'm Comfortable, I'm un hassled
Expressing contentment and lack of disturbance.
People don't realize this but loneliness
Loneliness is misunderstood but has its merits.
It's underrated."
Highlighting the undervalued nature of loneliness.
