Out Here On My Own
Embracing Solitude: Finding Strength and Identity On My Own
Lyrics
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes, I experience moments of contemplation
Where I've been
Reflecting on my past and journey
Who I am, do I fit in?
Questioning my identity and where I fit in
Make-believing is hard alone
Finding it challenging to engage in make-believe or self-deception alone
Out here, on my own
Expressing a sense of isolation and self-reliance
We're always proving
Emphasizing the constant need to prove our identity
Who we are
Continuously striving to define ourselves
Always reaching
Always reaching for success or recognition
For that rising star
Aiming for a metaphorical "rising star" to guide and lead
To guide me far
Seeking guidance to a distant place and a welcoming home
And shine me home
Desiring illumination and comfort
Out here on my own
Reiterating the sense of being on one's own
When I'm down and feeling blue
Expressing feelings of sadness and loneliness
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Escaping reality by closing one's eyes to be with a loved one
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Pleading for strength from a significant other
Baby, belong to me
Asking for belonging and emotional support
Help me through
Requesting assistance in difficult times
Help me need you
Expressing a mutual need for each other
Until the morning sun appears
Awaiting the arrival of a new day and positivity
Making light of all my fears
Facing and overcoming fears with the arrival of daylight
I dry the tears I've never shown
Concealing tears and inner struggles
out here on my own
Reiterating the theme of being alone and self-reliant
But when I'm down and feeling blue
Revisiting feelings of sadness and seeking solace
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Using imagination to connect with a loved one during difficult times
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Appealing for emotional strength from a significant other
Baby, belong to me
Expressing the desire for belonging and connection
Help me through
Requesting assistance and support in times of need
Help me need you
Emphasizing the interdependence of needing each other
Sometimes I wonder
Repeating the theme of questioning one's past and identity
Where I've been
Reflecting on the journey and questioning where one belongs
Who I am, do I fit in?
Reiterating the ongoing self-questioning and search for identity
I may not win
Acknowledging the possibility of not always succeeding
But I can't be thrown
Accepting challenges but refusing to be defeated
Out here on my own
Restating the theme of being on one's own despite challenges
Out here
Repeating the sentiment of being alone and self-reliant
On my own
Concluding with the reaffirmation of being on one's own
