Another Year Alone
Embracing Solitude: A Journey of Self-Discovery in 'Another Year Alone' by Wayne Byrum
Lyrics
There goes another year alone
Expressing the passing of another year in solitude.
And I've been dying for a reason to leave my home
Desiring a compelling reason to leave the comfort of home.
Sitting here and staring at this floor
Reflecting on the current situation, possibly in a state of contemplation.
Is not what I imagined my life is for
Feeling that life's reality doesn't align with personal expectations.
Decent folks have passed me through this life
Acknowledging encounters with good people but questioning their motives or paths.
But who am I to say they have the wrong reason or strife?
Recognizing the subjectivity of judgment on others' life choices.
But while I'm sitting here and staring at this floor
Continuing to contemplate life while grounded in a particular space.
I know that trying is way better than not trying at all
Affirming the value of attempting rather than not trying at all.
Said, I'm trying to see a life around here
Expressing the desire to envision a better life in the current environment.
I'm gonna move away and start fresh
Planning to relocate and start anew.
And just to be clear
Emphasizing the intention to start fresh.
All my life I've always been alone
Reflecting on a lifetime of solitude.
So, am I really missing out if no one's here for me at home?
Questioning the significance of missing out on companionship.
Finding a light all on my own
Seeking personal enlightenment and growth.
I never meant to sink down this fast
Acknowledging a rapid descent but highlighting subsequent personal growth.
But since then, I've grown
Indicating personal development since the mentioned descent.
And I can always be
Asserting self-sufficiency and contentment in solitude.
Always be fine all on my own
Reiterating the ability to be fine independently.
But just don't ever call my name again
Requesting to avoid calling one's name in the future.
Said, I'm trying to see a life around here
Continuing the desire for a better life in the current surroundings.
I'm gonna move away and start fresh
Reaffirming the decision to move away and start anew.
And just to be clear
Restating the commitment to a fresh start.
All my life I've always been alone
Reflecting on a lifetime of solitude (repeated).
So, am I really missing out if no one's here for me at home?
Questioning the impact of the absence of companionship (repeated).
I know you think that I'm restricting myself to fly
Addressing perceptions of personal limitations and hesitations.
You said that I should just jump off the cliff and parade to the sky
Recalling advice to take bold actions and break free from limitations.
For every night I've spent all on my own
Reflecting on nights spent in solitude.
I've decided that I'll never take advice from the unknown
Deciding not to take advice from unfamiliar sources.
But why can't I just feel at home?
Expressing a longing for a sense of belonging.
I'm sick of sitting here and wasting the days alone
Frustration with spending days alone and desiring change.
But I'll be damned if I don't at least try to find the tools I need
Determined to find the necessary tools for personal growth and independence.
To leave the nest and fly
Metaphorically aiming to leave the comfort of the familiar and explore new possibilities.
Said, I'm trying to see a life around here
Continuing the desire for a better life in the current surroundings (repeated).
I'm gonna move away and start fresh
Reiterating the intention to relocate and start afresh (repeated).
And just to be clear
Restating the commitment to a fresh start (repeated).
All my life I've always been alone
Reflecting on a lifetime of solitude (repeated).
So, am I really missing out if no one's here for me at home?
Questioning the impact of the absence of companionship (repeated).
Said, I'm trying to see a life around here
Continuing the desire for a better life in the current surroundings (repeated).
I'm gonna move away and start fresh
Reaffirming the decision to move away and start anew (repeated).
And just to be clear
Restating the commitment to a fresh start (repeated).
All my life I've always been alone
Reflecting on a lifetime of solitude (repeated).
So, am I really missing out if no one's here for me at home?
Questioning the impact of the absence of companionship (repeated).
