Alone Again
Navigating Shadows: Embracing Solitude in Provenance's 'Alone Again'
Lyrics
These streets are long my friend
Refers to the length or difficulty of the journey in life.
This pavement's cold but now you cant pretend
Describes the harsh reality of life, no longer able to pretend otherwise.
Your leaving home at ten
Someone is leaving their home early, possibly for work or another commitment.
Shut down stop time your all alone again
Expresses a sense of isolation and loneliness after stopping or shutting down.
The look of a stranger a new direction
Encountering a unfamiliar face or situation, suggesting change.
A light in the dark but its just your reflection
Finding a glimmer of hope or positivity in a challenging situation, realizing it's only a self-reflection.
You try to be patient but your times wasted
Attempting to be patient, but feeling that time is being wasted.
A light in the dark but its just the blood you've tasted
A metaphorical light in the dark, representing a deceptive or harmful element.
You've got no cards to lay
No resources or advantages to leverage in a situation.
Same game same place you went to yesterday
Stuck in a repetitive cycle, facing the same challenges as in the past.
A heart to pay
Having to pay a price emotionally, possibly in the context of relationships.
The switch has changed its sound
A change has occurred, possibly in the emotional or mental state.
You scrape together petty change you found
Collecting small, insignificant amounts of change, possibly metaphorical for meager resources.
To buy a lonely round
Using gathered resources for a solitary or lonely experience.
The look of a stranger a new direction
Repeating the encounter with a stranger or a new situation.
A light in the dark but its just your reflection
Reiterating the theme of finding hope or light, realizing it's just one's own reflection.
You try to be patient but your times wasted
Struggling to remain patient despite the perception of wasted time.
A light in the dark but its just the blood you've tasted
Revisiting the metaphorical light, acknowledging it as something harmful or negative.
These streets are long my friend
Repeats the initial idea of the length and challenges of the streets.
This pavement's cold but now you cant pretend
Reiterates the cold and harsh nature of the pavement, emphasizing the inability to pretend otherwise.
