Always Never Alone
Embracing Solitude: Kaurna Cronin's Tale of Love, Distance, and Endless Views
Lyrics
Wood crate cafe's
Reference to a specific location, possibly a cafe made of wood crates
You know my type
Acknowledgment of familiarity or understanding of the speaker's character
You kissed me tenderly
Recollection of a tender kiss shared during a chilly night in Port Fairy
On a cold Port Fairy night
Setting the scene of the kiss, emphasizing the cold weather
We braved the distance
Acknowledging the challenges faced together in maintaining the relationship
At times we're scared
Admitting fear and vulnerability at certain points in the relationship
If you got the hope
Suggesting that having hope equips one well for challenges
Then honey you're well prepared
Encouragement based on the presence of hope
You bottled up your heart and soul
Metaphorically referring to hiding emotions or feelings
Pocket watches, boomerangs and letters I adored
Listing cherished items or memories, showing appreciation
You let me go yes I'll admit I've got my flaws
Accepting personal faults and acknowledging the end of the relationship
You bottled up your heart and soul
Reiterating the idea of concealing emotions
So I'll forever know
Indicating that the speaker will always remember the hidden emotions
I'm not alone
Asserting that despite separation, the speaker feels connected to someone else
Our endless view
Describing a vast, boundless view shared with the significant other
Where we'll be Eagles on the hill
Imagery of being like eagles on a hill, possibly signifying freedom or strength
Our hands get to wandering
Implying physical intimacy and closeness between the couple
'Cause you want me to feel
Expressing a desire for the partner's emotional response
My company, my valentine
Affectionate reference to the partner as a companion and a Valentine
See those lights out to the coast
Pointing out distant lights, suggesting a distant town or place
There's a town so far below us
Highlighting the vastness and remoteness of the location
They'll never know how far we'll go
Emphasizing the depth of their journey and how it remains unknown to others
You bottled up your heart and soul
Repetition of hiding emotions or feelings, possibly for protection
Pocket watches, boomerangs and letters I adored
Reiterating cherished items or memories from earlier in the relationship
You let me go yes I'll admit I've got my flaws
Accepting personal flaws and acknowledging the end of the relationship
You bottled up your heart and soul
Continuation of the theme of concealing emotions
So I'd forever know
Expressing the everlasting knowledge of hidden emotions
I'm not alone
Affirming the connectedness felt despite physical separation
You're not alone
Assertion of mutual support and shared experiences, indicating solidarity
We're not alone
Final confirmation of shared companionship and support
