All alone
1GiantLeap Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't try, I won't hope
'Cause if you stay
Or if you go
If you stay, or if you go
I won't try, I won't hope
'Cause if you stay, or if you go
'Cause if you stay...
Despair
Depression
Feeling abandoned
Lonely
Worthless
Frustrated
Worry
Doubting
Vunerable
Forgetful
Losing self confidence
Heavy
Irritable
Fear of the future
Obsessed with possessions
Meaninglessness
Friendlessness
Fear of being penniless
No-one to touch
Lost of psychological power... because there is change afoot.
Be with the changes, and at the same moment, cultivate equinimity, spaciousness, emptiness, awareness, clarity... may it be so.
If you stay, or if you go
I won't try, I won't hide
'Cause if you stay, or if you go
I won't lie, I won't try
'Cause if you stay
'Cause if you stay...
The lyrics of "All Alone" by 1GiantLeap is about the emotional struggles of losing someone you love. The songwriter is expressing feelings of despair, depression, loneliness, worthlessness, frustration, and vulnerability. The line "If you stay, or if you go, I won't try, I won't hope" implies that the songwriter has given up on trying to keep the person in their life, whether they choose to stay or leave. The repetition of this line throughout the song emphasizes this acceptance of fate.
The songwriter expresses a sense of powerlessness and lack of control over the situation. They cannot predict what the future holds, and they feel afraid of being alone, losing their possessions, and losing psychological power. However, the song ends on a hopeful note, as the songwriter acknowledges that change is inevitable, and they must learn to be at peace with it. The final lines of the song, "be with the changes, and at the same moment, cultivate equanimity, spaciousness, emptiness, awareness, clarity... may it be so," suggest a desire for inner peace and acceptance.

I won't bother making an effort or have any expectations

Because in the end, it doesn't matter if you choose to stay

What's the meaning of this song? If anyone can help 🙏
@Total1Now
This is a song about what it means to be human at the deeper levels, and the ways in which we become disconnected from the essential self
@Total1Now
Such a brilliant track, but WTF can't the people posting this - credit the artists involved? At the very least you could credit Ram Das as the voice of compassion. FFS!!!
