On Your Own
Navigating Solitude: The Microwaves' Anthem of Self-Reliance
Lyrics
Empty sound fly across the night
Expressing a sense of emptiness conveyed through sounds in the night.
There is no hope, there is no sound
Conveying a feeling of despair and silence, suggesting a lack of positive outlook.
You can’t stand up but you still wanna fight
Despite feeling weakened, there's a desire to continue the struggle or fight.
You don’t even feel like your alive
Expressing a detachment from life, feeling numb or unresponsive.
Oh-oh there’s no hope, this time you’re on your own
Reiterating a lack of hope and emphasizing individual solitude and self-reliance.
Oh-oh there’s no hope, this time you have to do this on your own
Emphasizing the necessity of facing challenges alone and independently.
It started bad, but look at where we are
Reflecting on a challenging start, acknowledging the persistence of difficulties.
The shits the same our mind is in the dark
Stating that despite external circumstances, the mental state remains troubled.
I think after all we all have missed the ark
Suggesting that opportunities have been missed, possibly metaphorically referencing a lost chance.
We didn't even barely try to look the part
Not putting in enough effort to conform to expectations or fit in.
I can't stand up but I am who I am
Despite challenges, maintaining individual identity and integrity.
The world can't keep fucking with my head
Expressing frustration with external influences affecting one's state of mind.
I said it before well I'm saying it again
Reiteration of a previous statement, underscoring the impact on mental well-being.
I'll fight on my own right until the end
Commitment to facing challenges independently and persisting until the end.
Oh-oh there’s no hope, this time you’re on your own
Reaffirming the absence of hope and the experience of solitude in facing challenges.
Oh-oh there’s no hope, this time you have to do this on your own
Stressing the inevitability of handling difficulties without external support.
Oh-oh there’s no hope, this time you’re on your own
Repeating the theme of individual responsibility and lack of hope in challenging times.
Oh-oh there’s no hope, this time you have to do this on your own
Emphasizing the need to confront challenges independently and self-sufficiently.
