Not Alone
ALL CAPS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not easy when surrounded by so much cheer
Sitting at home next to no one
In a city where no one knows your name
A special time to spend with loved ones
But everyone is so far away
But when it all turns to gray
Even the coldest nights will fade away
Because I'm not alone
I still remember the last time I saw you
And all the times we had together
And while today I'm alone
I won't be somber 'cause our friendships will last us forever
I forgot to buy presents this year for my friends
So here's a song instead because I forgot about all of you
And this past year has been something I'll hold onto forever
Many new friends and memories, everyone feels so close to me
And if it all turns to gray
Even the coldest nights will fade away
Because I'm not alone
I still remember the last time I saw you
And all the times we had together
And while today I'm alone
I won't be somber 'cause our friendships will last us forever.
Because I'm not alone
I still remember the last time I saw you
And all the times we had together
And while today I'm alone
I won't surrender 'cause our friendships will last us forever.
And I'm not alone
And I'm not alone
The song "Not Alone" by ALL CAPS is a poignant portrayal of the emotions that one goes through when spending Christmas alone. The artist depicts the feelings of isolation and longing that are common during the holiday season when surrounded by happiness and warmth. The first verse articulates the emptiness that one feels when away from their loved ones and in an unknown city where nobody knows them. The lines, "Sitting at home next to no one/In a city where no one knows your name" paint a vivid picture of how lonely the artist is.
The chorus provides hope and solace by reminding the listener that even though they are physically alone, they are not truly alone. The artist taps into the power of memories and friendship to uplift the spirit of the listener. The lines, "I still remember the last time I saw you/And all the times we had together/And while today I'm alone/I won't be somber 'cause our friendships will last us forever" express how one can find comfort by remembering the good times and cherishing the bonds that they have formed with their dear friends.
The second verse conveys how the artist forgot to buy presents for their friends but found a way to convey their love by writing this song. The lines, "And this past year has been something I'll hold onto forever/Many new friends and memories, everyone feels so close to me" depict how the artist has found a sense of belonging and kinship in the past year. The chorus repeats, providing an affirmation that no matter how dark the times get, the bonds of friendship endure and provide a source of strength.

I'm spending Christmas alone this year
I am alone during one of the biggest holidays of the year
It's not easy when surrounded by so much cheer
The happiness and joy around me during this time makes it harder to be alone
Sitting at home next to no one
I am alone in my home, with no one around
In a city where no one knows your name
I feel alone in a big city where I am not recognized by anyone
A special time to spend with loved ones
Christmas is a time meant to be spent with the people you love
But everyone is so far away
The people I love are all distant from me
But when it all turns to gray
When everything feels bleak and lifeless
Even the coldest nights will fade away
Things will eventually get better
Because I'm not alone
Despite feeling lonely, I know I am not truly alone
I still remember the last time I saw you
I cherish the memories of spending time with the people I love
And all the times we had together
The memories of the past we shared together
And while today I'm alone
Even though I am alone right now
I won't be somber 'cause our friendships will last us forever
I remain hopeful and happy because I know our friendships will always survive
I forgot to buy presents this year for my friends
I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I forgot to do something for my friends
So here's a song instead because I forgot about all of you
As a substitute, I wrote this song as a way of showing my appreciation for my friends
And this past year has been something I'll hold onto forever
This year was special and something that I will always remember
Many new friends and memories, everyone feels so close to me
I have made new connections and have many memories I hold dear
And I won't surrender 'cause our friendships will last us forever.
I will not give up because my friendships are strong and will endure
And I'm not alone
I am not alone in this world
