Die Alone
Embracing Life's Choices: Die Alone by Sofia Talvik
Lyrics
So I guess that there are things I'll never know
Expressing uncertainty about certain aspects in life, acknowledging limitations in understanding.
And I might regret some things I never chose to do
Reflecting on potential regrets for choices not made, contemplating missed opportunities.
Some people say that I will die alone
Noting a common belief or fear that the speaker will end up alone in life.
But isn't that the truth for everyone
Suggesting that the idea of dying alone is a universal truth applicable to everyone.
And I am told I still have loads of time
Being told there's ample time left, possibly in the context of life or relationships.
You might think it's kind to say
Highlighting a discrepancy between kind words and the underlying truth.
But we both know it's a lie
Emphasizing the deceptive nature of reassurances about time.
Some people say that I will die alone
Reiterating the notion that dying alone is a shared fate for everyone.
But isn't that the truth for everyone
Reemphasizing the universality of the truth about dying alone.
Oh, believe me when I say
Asserting the speaker's belief in the diverse forms love can take.
Love can come in different ways
Expressing openness to unconventional expressions of love.
So if you think that I will die alone
Responding to the notion of dying alone, suggesting it applies to everyone.
Well so will you and so will everyone
Reaffirming the shared destiny of dying alone for everyone.
Some seem to think that it's a selfish act
Addressing perceptions that considering one's end may be seen as selfish.
And some people don't even know how to react
Highlighting varied reactions people have to the idea of mortality.
But everybody thinks they have a say
Commenting on the tendency for individuals to believe their opinions on such matters are important.
Isn't that the worst with folks today
Critiquing the prevalence of judgment in contemporary society.
And no, it's not that it has slipped my mind
Acknowledging awareness of the passage of time and the impending end.
I know the clock is ticking and I'm running out of time
Recognizing the ticking clock and the urgency of time running out.
But I'm not even sure that I should care
Expressing ambivalence about caring regarding the inevitability of dying alone.
But at least I can admit the question is there
Admitting the presence of existential questions about life's purpose.
Oh, believe me when I say
Reiterating the diverse nature of love and its unconventional manifestations.
Love can come in different ways
Reinforcing the idea that love can take various forms.
So if you think that I will die alone
Responding to the fear of dying alone, suggesting it applies universally.
Well so will you and so will everyone
Reaffirming the shared destiny of dying alone for everyone.
And there might be things I do you don't agree with
Acknowledging potential disagreement with the speaker's choices.
But these are the choices that I had to make
Defending the necessity of the choices made, emphasizing personal agency.
And in the scheme of things what does it matter
Minimizing the significance of personal choices in the grander scheme of life.
It's not humanity at stake
Asserting that the choices made do not jeopardize humanity as a whole.
Oh, believe me when I say
Reiterating the diverse nature of love and its various expressions.
Love can come in different ways
Affirming the speaker's sense of being loved in different ways.
Oh, believe me when I say
Reaffirming the diverse nature of love and the speaker's feelings of being loved.
I feel loved in every way
Expressing contentment and fulfillment in the various forms of love experienced.
So if you say that I will die alone
Responding to the prediction of dying alone, reminding that it applies universally.
Remember so will you and everyone
Reaffirming the shared destiny of dying alone for everyone.
