Alone
Embracing Solitude: Navigating Life's Highs and Lows with Morgan Finlay
Lyrics
When you're sitting in a sadness that feels deeper than the bone
Expressing a profound sadness that goes beyond surface emotions.
And you carry around a heart that's as heavy as a stone
Carrying a heavy emotional burden symbolized by a heart as heavy as a stone.
These times when all the trouble can make you grateful just to be... alone
Finding solace in being alone during troubled times, appreciating the simplicity of solitude.
Other times you revel in a rhythm that you know
Enjoying moments of familiarity and routine, possibly in a fast-paced lifestyle.
Complete with all the fixins of a life on the go
Having a complete and well-rounded life on the go, not necessarily indicating proximity to a breaking point.
It don't mean you're near the edge for learning how to get by... alone
Emphasizing that being alone doesn't imply being on the edge; it's about learning self-sufficiency.
And I get some time together with the folks I know and trust
Valuing time spent with trusted friends, sharing thoughts and experiences over drinks.
And we'll drink and talk forever 'bout the things affecting us
Engaging in meaningful conversations about shared concerns.
Some words and some habits they ain't never gone away
Acknowledging persistent challenges and habits in life.
But we live with at the end of the day
Accepting and living with challenges at the end of the day.
Yeah I'm glad to be a part of this tragicomedy called life
Expressing gratitude for being part of life's tragicomic nature.
And for the hand-me-downs and hand grenades that taught me how to fight
Appreciating life lessons from difficult experiences, symbolized by hand-me-downs and hand grenades.
Cause I learned to find the happiness when it's hard to find the light... alone
Finding happiness in challenging situations, learning to navigate life's difficulties alone.
Well I ain't too proud to witness the storms passing through
Being open to witnessing and experiencing life's storms without pride.
And I've lost the shame of slipping into a deeper patch of blue
Overcoming shame associated with facing deep emotional lows.
It's just the darker part of it, that sometimes we better face... alone
Recognizing that facing the darker aspects of life is sometimes necessary alone.
And it don't mean you ain't happy in the company of friends
Clarifying that being alone doesn't imply unhappiness in the company of friends.
That you ain't getting those warm feelings just to hang with them again
Appreciating the warmth and positive feelings when spending time with friends.
So many people living in the corner of your mind
Acknowledging the presence of many people in one's thoughts, even if not physically present all the time.
And you're with them from time to time
Interacting with people sporadically or during specific times.
So rest your guarded caution, your radar in the night
Encouraging to let go of guarded caution, suggesting a need for balance and trust.
You won't receive an e-mail when you get the balance right
Highlighting that finding balance may not come with immediate notifications; it's a personal journey.
It's a brave new world upon us, be glad you know to be... alone
Embracing the challenges of a changing world and finding contentment in being alone.
