Alone
Embracing Solitude: Trespassers William's Echo of Longing
Lyrics
You gave me cold glass love
You provided love that felt emotionally distant and unfeeling
You've got teeth for biting
You possess a tendency to harm or hurt with your words or actions
And you've bore a hole in me
You've caused emotional damage or vulnerability within me
You and me, hot and cold
We, as a couple, experience extreme highs and lows
You have crossed all safely
You've successfully navigated challenges, while I struggle and feel unstable
While I teeter on my rope
I feel precarious or unstable in our relationship
Better than me, and I know
You are superior to me, and I acknowledge this
You are calm and symmetry
You possess calmness and balance, contrasting with my emptiness
And I'm an empty hole
I feel like an emotional void or emptiness
My envy of all you own
I covet what you have, feeling jealousy towards your possessions
I want to be a possession
I desire to be owned or valued by you
You dust and won't let go
You neglect me, refusing to release your hold or attention
Gentlest touch and sweetest sound
Your touch is gentle, and your presence is comforting
Something you'll run back in for
There are things of value that you would prioritize even in a crisis
When the house burns down
In difficult times, you would prioritize certain possessions over saving our home
Alone, alone doesn't feel so cold
Being alone doesn't feel as isolating or cold as one might expect
Alone, alone doesn't feel so cold
Reiteration of the idea that being alone isn't as cold as anticipated
Cause your arms, your arms they don't feel so warm
Your embrace doesn't provide the warmth I seek
So come, come love and take me home
An invitation for love to bring comfort and solace
What I am, and what you are
Reflection on the differences between you and me
Some things just don't hold the way
Some aspects of our relationship are not enduring or lasting
The night has trapped a star
Night has captured a beautiful moment, but it may not last
Alone, alone doesn't feel so cold
Similar to line 21, the idea that being alone isn't as cold as expected
Alone, alone doesn't feel so cold
Reiteration of the notion that solitude isn't as chilling as perceived
Cause your arms, your arms they don't feel so warm
Your embrace fails to provide the warmth I desire
So come, come love and take me home
An appeal for love to bring the speaker back to a comforting place
