We're All Alone
Embracing Solitude: Discovering the Timeless Depths of 'We're All Alone'
Lyrics
Outside the rain begins
Refers to the start of a rainy moment or a difficult period
And it may never end
Suggests uncertainty or a potentially endless difficult situation
So cry no more
An encouragement to stop crying or worrying
On the shore, a dream
Imagery of a dream by the shore, symbolizing escape or a better place
Will take us out to sea
Expresses the idea that the dream will lead to a better future
Forever more, forever more
Emphasizes the enduring nature of the dream
Close your eyes and dream
Encourages closing one's eyes to visualize and share a dream
And you can be with me
Implies a shared experience through dreams
'Neath the waves
References a journey beneath the waves, possibly representing challenges
Through the caves of ours
Mentions caves as symbolic of forgotten or hidden aspects
Long forgotten now
Reflects on things from the past that are no longer remembered
We're all alone, we're all alone
Repeated affirmation that we are all alone in our experiences
Close the window, calm the light
Suggests closing off external influences to find peace
And it will be all right
Assures that everything will be okay
No need to bother now
Advises against unnecessary concerns or worries
Let it out, let it all begin
Encourages expression and the beginning of a new phase
Learn how to pretend
Suggests learning to pretend or adapt for a better experience
Once a story's told
Reflects on the inevitability of stories getting old
It can't help but grow old
Comparing stories to roses, indicating their natural aging process
Roses do, lovers too
Relates the aging concept to lovers or relationships
So cast your seasons to the wind
Suggests letting go of the past and embracing change
And hold me, dear
An emotional plea to be held or supported
Oh, hold me, dear
A repetition emphasizing the need for comfort and support
Close the window, calm the light
Reiterates the idea of finding peace by closing off external influences
And it will be all right
Reassures that everything will be okay through this action
No need to bother now
Similar to lines 17 and 28, advising against unnecessary concerns
Let it out, let it all begin
Encourages expression and the beginning of a new phase, echoing line 18
All's forgotten now
Declares that everything from the past is now forgotten
We're all alone, oh, we're all alone
Reaffirms the theme of shared solitude
Close the window, calm the light
Repeats the act of finding peace by closing off external influences
And it will be all right
Reassures that everything will be okay through this action
No need to bother now
Similar to lines 17, 28, and 30, advising against unnecessary concerns
Let it out, let it all begin
Encourages expression and the beginning of a new phase, echoing lines 18 and 31
Owe it to the wind
Suggests attributing the resolution to the wind, an element of change
My love
Ends with a declaration of love
