Be Alone
Embracing Solitude: Navigating Social Struggles in okay alright fine.'s 'Be Alone'
Lyrics
One A.M. I grab my jacket and I'm out the door
Feeling the need to leave a gathering at 1 A.M.
Ditch the party cause I can't take it anymore
Choosing to leave a party due to discomfort or dissatisfaction
Sick of being stuck to the wall tryna blend in,
Expressing frustration about feeling stuck and unnoticed at the party
I'd love to be anywhere but this shitty apartment
Desiring to be somewhere other than the current unpleasing environment
I don't really even know what I came here for
Uncertainty about the purpose of attending the gathering
Please don't call and don't come over
Requesting space and not wanting calls or visitors
Please don't try to move in closer
Rejecting closeness or intimacy
I'm all done with giving my time
Choosing not to invest time in certain relationships or situations
To all the people who I always end up standing behind
Frustration with consistently being in the background or overlooked
I'm okay with nowhere to go
Acceptance of having no specific destination or plan
Some days I just like to be alone
Expressing a preference for solitude on some days
Cancel plans I made a month ago to see my friends
Canceling previously made plans to spend time alone
Every time I'm surprised that this is how it ends
Surprise at recurring patterns leading to isolation
Something in my head must not be firing right,
Suspecting mental struggles affecting thoughts and behaviors
I got a dead social battery on a Saturday night
Feeling socially drained on a Saturday night
Maybe I'll do better next month when I try again
Hopeful about improving social interactions in the future
Please don't call and don't come over
Reiterating the desire for personal space and avoidance of closeness
Please don't try to move in closer
Maintaining emotional distance
I'm no good at asking for help,
Difficulty in seeking assistance from others
Cause even when I do I always end up all by myself
Despite seeking help, ending up alone
I know I've got nowhere to go
Acknowledging the absence of a specific direction or purpose
I guess I just get to be alone
Acceptance and embracing solitude
I don't think I've got the right tools to deal with this
Expressing inadequacy in dealing with personal issues
Common Era crisis of self-psychoanalysis
Reflection on the challenges of self-analysis in the current era
If I can't beat it, why'm I supposed to fight it?
Questioning the purpose of fighting against personal struggles
It's an egoparty baby and we're all invited
Describing personal challenges as a collective experience
Everyone says everyone's afraid like I am
Noting the universality of fear and anxiety
Then how come they can make it past the things that I can't
Questioning one's ability to overcome challenges compared to others
Why is it that I'm the one who's left behind
Feeling left behind in personal growth or progress
Just cause I'm no good at faking like everything's fine
Admitting difficulty in pretending everything is fine
Please don't call and don't come over
Repeating the desire for personal space and emotional boundaries
Please don't try to move in closer
Reiterating the need for emotional distance
I'm burnt out on trying to fix
Experiencing burnout from futile attempts to solve personal issues
The kind of problem with a cure I'm certain doesn't exist
Expressing skepticism about finding a cure for certain problems
I feel like there's nowhere to go
Feeling trapped with no clear direction or solution
I think I just need to be alone
Recognizing the need for solitude as a means of self-care
