Alone
岡本真夜 Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Alone" by Japanese singer Mayo Okamoto. The song is about feeling vulnerable and weak, despite being encouraged to be strong by others. The singer of the song is struggling with intense emotions and contemplates calling someone for comfort, but decides against it, feeling that they would not understand. Instead, she finds herself alone on a bench, watching trains pass by and thinking about past memories.

The first verse describes how the singer is unable to show her weakness to others who see her as strong. She was told that she is strong and will be okay, but the encouragement does not provide the comfort she needs. She feels isolated and unable to bring herself to show her vulnerability to others.

In the second verse, the singer lies to someone on the phone, saying she has no more cards left, before hanging up. She sees people hurrying in the rain and hides her tears behind an umbrella. She wants someone to hug her tightly and comfort her with their warm embrace, but at the same time, she doesn't want sympathy or pity from others. She just wants to feel loved and not alone.

The chorus of the song repeats the desire for someone to hold her and let her cry on their chest. She confesses that she is actually a lonely person and has been crying alone for a long time. She wants to sleep on their chest and be held tight, finding comfort in their embrace.

Overall, the song is a melancholic reflection on loneliness and the desire for genuine human connection.
