Alone Again
Unmasking the Night: The Weeknd's Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Take off my disguise
Expressing a desire to remove a façade or persona.
I'm living someone else's life
Feeling like living a life not true to oneself.
Suppressing who I was inside
Suppressing the true identity or emotions internally.
So I throw two-thousand ones in the sky
Symbolic act of spending money, possibly to escape or find joy.
Together we're alone (together we're alone)
Emphasizing the shared feeling of loneliness despite being together.
In Vegas I feel so at home (in Vegas I feel at home)
Feeling comfortable or accepted in a place, specifically Vegas.
Falling only for the night
Falling in love but with a temporary or fleeting connection.
So I throw two-thousand ones in the sky (the sky)
Repeating the symbolic act of throwing money in the sky.
How, how much to light up my star again
Asking how much it takes to regain a sense of stardom or success.
And rewire all my thoughts?
Desire to change or reset one's thoughts and perspective.
Oh baby, won't you remind me what I am?
Seeking a reminder of one's true self from a partner.
And break, break my little cold heart
Asking for emotional support to mend a broken heart.
(Oh, oh-oh, ooh)
Musical interlude or vocal expression without explicit meaning.
(Ooh-oh, ooh-ooh)
-(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
-Call me up and I'll send for you
Offering availability to be reached out to.
Take me down to your altitude
Willingness to be taken to the emotional level of the other person.
I don't know if I can be alone again
Expressing uncertainty about being alone again.
I don't know if I can sleep alone again (alone again)
Expressing discomfort or fear of sleeping alone.
Check my pulse for a second time (second time)
Checking for signs of life or vitality.
I took too much, I don't wanna die
Expressing concern about the consequences of excessive actions.
I don't know if I can be alone again
Reiterating uncertainty about being alone again.
I don't know if I can sleep alone again
Reiterating discomfort or fear of sleeping alone.
(Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
Musical interlude or vocal expression without explicit meaning.
(Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
-(Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
-(Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
-Count it up, it's all for you, count it up
Emphasizing that material wealth is dedicated to someone.
Count it up, it's all for you, count it up
-'Cause I don't know if I can be alone again
Reiterating uncertainty about being alone again.
I don't know if I can be alone again (alone again)
Expressing discomfort or fear of being alone again.
