alone
Alone in the Shadows: A Poignant Journey of Solitude and Desperation
Lyrics
Why's it always feel like
Questioning the repetitive nature of feeling a certain way
People say it's alright
Others reassure that things are fine despite personal feelings of turmoil
Everything is black and white
Seeing things in extremes, lacking nuance
There's no color anymore
Losing vibrancy and joy in life
Why's it always seem like
Continued sense of inadequacy and failure
Nothin' I do is right
Perception of constant mistakes and inability to do things right
Feel like I'm losing you every night
Fear of losing someone important on a regular basis
I can't take it anymore
Reaching a breaking point emotionally
You will never know
Others can't understand the internal struggles
You will never know
Reiteration of the previous line's sentiment
What it's like
Expressing the unknowability of the feeling
To be alone
Feeling isolated and without company
I'm all alone
Repetition of the feeling of being alone
I'm all alone
-Why I always have to think
Struggling with dark, intrusive thoughts
Suicidal thoughts no relief
Mental anguish with no relief in sight
The temptation teases me
Feeling enticed by self-destructive impulses
As I try to catch a breath
Struggling to cope in distressing situations
It comes so unexpectedly
Unexpectedly overwhelmed and falling apart
I'm falling down to my knees
Emotional collapse leading to a plea for help
Prayin' Lord please take me
Begging for release from the pain
Can I take my final breath?
Contemplating the idea of ending one's life
You will never know
Repeated assertion of others not understanding the experience of loneliness
You will never know
-What it's like
-To be alone
-I'm all alone
Reiteration of feeling isolated and alone
I'm all alone
-I'm all alone
-I'm all alone
-I'm all alone
-I was alone when I needed you the most
Being left alone during a time of great need
Got tears in your eyes so I'll let my anger go
Seeing the pain in another's eyes, leading to letting go of anger
Said that I broke you but it didn't show
Being blamed for someone else's pain despite not showing it
You moved on I can't let go
Struggling to move on while someone else has
And I can't wait
Expressing impatience and eagerness for something
Can't wait
-Can't wait
-Can't wait
