Better Off Alone
Embracing Seasons of Solitude: Laura Elliott's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
spring is near
Anticipation of a new beginning or change represented by the arrival of spring.
and i don’t hear your name anymore
The absence of the person mentioned; their name no longer heard.
isnt it strange
Reflecting on the peculiar nature of how things transform once someone leaves.
how things rearrange once you walk out the door
Noting the reorganization or shift in life circumstances after the person's departure.
it’s not right
Expressing a feeling that the current situation is not correct or fair.
Interjection, possibly expressing emotional distress or contemplation.
so where have you gone
Questioning the whereabouts of the person during the cold season, highlighting the sense of loneliness.
winter is cold and i’m all alone here in this house
Feeling isolated and alone during the winter in the absence of the person.
and where will i go?
Pondering on where to go or what to do next without the person around.
since you went away i don’t think i can stay here by myself
Expressing difficulty in staying alone after the person's departure.
summer is gone
Noting the passing of a warmer season and the fading away of memories associated with it.
and faded memories wash away
Memories losing their prominence or significance over time.
thoughts of you arose again
Recollection of thoughts about the person resurfacing recently.
just the other day
Highlighting a recent occurrence of remembering the person.
Interjection conveying emotional distress or longing.
so where have you gone
Reiteration of questioning the absence of the person during the cold season.
winter is cold and i’m all alone here in this house
Reiteration of feeling alone and isolated during winter without the person.
and where will i go?
Repeating the uncertainty about the future without the person present.
since you went away i don’t think i can stay here by myself
Reaffirmation of the difficulty in staying alone after the person's departure.
