All Alone
♫ Gorillaz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone

Laviti caso
Due to run a mile

Snatch a piece of my wonderin'
Distant-far like yonderin'
Skin of my tooth like
Seat of my boot like
Fly in my soup like
Where's the waitress?
Can I take this, really, can I finish this?
These years and all these creatures

It's my mistake, I'll make it
J-dub to the boom now make it
Bounce-wiggle bounce-wiggle
Shakin' all them bangs out
Chemical cutthroats
Bound to blow the brain out

Cut to the brain
This ain't no game
I'll show no shame
I'll birth this blame
I'm twisted cain
I'll twist again
I'll push the blade
As plain as day

Known to what these sayers say
Known to what these doers do
It's you and who and you-know-where
We's about to take it there
We's about to make it clear
We happy or we lonesome
The long jump, the beat heart, from start to finish
Ten spoons of spinach
The soul and the spillage
The cup that runneth ovah
We turn up the o-god

All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone

Close your eyes and see
When there ain't no light
All you'll ever be
Come and save the night
'Cause I don't leave
When the morning comes, it doesn't
Seem to say an awful lot to me

All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone




All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone

Overall Meaning

In “All Alone,” Gorillaz pour out their feelings of loneliness and emptiness. The repetition of the phrase “all alone” highlights the singer’s sense of isolation, emphasizing how they feel completely disconnected from those around them. The following lyrics talk about the singer’s desperation for connection, looking for that one person to “come and save the night.” However, they also express a sense of resignation, accepting that when morning comes, they’re still alone and isolated.


The themes of loneliness and connection, as well as the rhythmic, almost manic delivery, tie in with the larger themes of Gorillaz’s Demon Days album, which explores modern-day anxieties, hopelessness, and isolation. The song’s chorus, which repeats the phrase “all alone” like a mantra underscores the album’s sense of desperation and dislocation, and how people can feel easily lost in the world.


Overall, “All Alone” is a melancholic yet powerful song that emphasizes the feelings of loneliness and isolation, and how people can get lost in the world. It’s an important song from Gorillaz that explores current issues of our modern age and how it can affect people, leaving them hollowed out and all alone.

LYRICS

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
When the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep
Drive on engines 'til they weep
With future pixels in factories far away
So call the mainland from the beach
All parties now washed up in bleach
The waves are rising for this time of year
And nobody knows what to do with the heat
Under sunshine pylons, we'll meet
While rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky
I got a feeling now my heart is frozen
All the verses and the corrosion
Have been after native in my soul
I prayed on the unmovable
Yeah, clinging to the atoms of rock
Seasons, the adjustments
Times have changed
I can't see now, she said, "Taxi"
Now that light is so I can take
This storm brings strange loyalties and skies
I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
Here we go again
That's electric
That's electric
Helicopters fly over the beach
Same time every day, same routine
A clear target in the summer when skies are blue
It's part of the noise when winter comes
It reverberates in my lungs
Nature's corrupted in factories far away
Here we go again
That's electric
Your love's like rhinestones falling from the sky
That's electric
With future pixels in factories far away
Here we go again
That's electric
Your love's like rhinestones falling from the sky
That's electric
With future pixels in factories far away
Here we go again

[Verse 1]
I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away
Where the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep
Drive on engines till they weep
With future pixels in factories far away
So call the mainland from the beach
Your heart is now washed up in bleach
The waves are rising for this time of year
And nobody knows what to do with the heat
Under sunshine pylons, we'll meet
While rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky

[Chorus]
(Uh)
(Mmmmm)

[Verse 2]
I can't see you now my heart is frozen
All the bowses and the growses
Have been abstinated in my soul
I prayed on the immovable
Yet clinging to the atoms of rock
Seasons see adjustment signs of change
I can't see now, she said, "Taxi"
Now that light is all I can take
This dawn brings strange loyalties and skies
I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away

[Chorus]
(Here we go again)
That's electric
(Uh)
That's electric

[Verse 3]
Helicopters fly over the beach
Same time every day, same routine
A clear target in the summer when skies are blue
It's part of the noise when winter comes
It reverberates in my lungs
Nature's corrupted in factories far away

[Chorus]
(Here we go again)
That's electric
Your love's like rhinestones falling from the sky
That's electric
With future pixels in factories far away
(Here we go again)
That's electric
Your love's like rhinestones falling from the sky
That's electric
With future pixels in factories far away
(Here we go again)
