I'm Not Alone
10. Calvin Harris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you stay up for the weekend
And blame God for looking too old
Can we find all that you stand for
Has been replaced with mountains of gold

You cannot dream yourself to notice
To feel pain and swallow fear
But can you stay up for the weekend
'Til next year

God I can't do this any more
Though I'll be laid down on the floor
As many feet walk through the door
I'm not alone

If I see a light flashing
Could this mean that I'm coming home
If I see a man waving
Does this mean that I'm not alone

If I see a light flashing
Could this mean that I'm coming home
If I see a man waving
Does this mean that I'm not alone, no

If I see a light flashing
Could this mean that I'm coming home
If I see a man waving
Does this mean that I'm not alone

If I see a light flashing
Could this mean that I'm coming home




If I see a man waving
Does this mean that I'm not alone, no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Calvin Harris's song "I'm Not Alone" delve into themes of loneliness and isolation, and what it means to find comfort in the presence of others. The first verse speaks to the idea that we often distract ourselves from our own feelings of emptiness and replace them with material wealth, as a sort of coping mechanism. The second verse introduces the idea that perhaps reaching out for help is the key to overcoming these feelings of loneliness, and that even the smallest signs of human connection can bring us hope.


The repetitive chorus, "If I see a light flashing, could this mean that I'm coming home? If I see a man waving, does this mean that I'm not alone?", suggests that the singer is searching for any sign that they are not by themselves in their struggles. The fear of being alone is a powerful influence throughout the song, and the idea of finding a sense of belonging through even the smallest interactions feels particularly poignant.


Line by Line Meaning

Can you stay up for the weekend
Are you able to remain awake through the entire weekend?


And blame God for looking too old
And fault God for appearing elderly


Can we find all that you stand for
Can we discover everything that you believe in


Has been replaced with mountains of gold
Has been substituted with heaps of riches


You cannot dream yourself to notice
You are unable to imagine your way to awareness


To feel pain and swallow fear
To experience discomfort and confront terror


But can you stay up for the weekend
But are you able to remain awake through the entire weekend?


'Til next year
Until the following year


God I can't do this any more
God, I can no longer endure this


Though I'll be laid down on the floor
Though I'll be lying on the ground


As many feet walk through the door
As numerous feet enter through the doorway


I'm not alone
I am not by myself


If I see a light flashing
If I notice a flickering light


Could this mean that I'm coming home
Might this indicate that I'm returning home?


If I see a man waving
If I observe a man signaling


Does this mean that I'm not alone
Does this indicate that I'm not by myself?


If I see a light flashing
If I notice a flickering light


Could this mean that I'm coming home
Might this indicate that I'm returning home?


If I see a man waving
If I observe a man signaling


Does this mean that I'm not alone, no
Does this indicate that I'm not by myself? No


If I see a light flashing
If I notice a flickering light


Could this mean that I'm coming home
Might this indicate that I'm returning home?


If I see a man waving
If I observe a man signaling


Does this mean that I'm not alone
Does this indicate that I'm not by myself?
