You're Not Alone
ATB pres. ATOM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the hardest thing you've ever done
Feel the eyes upon you, like the door to hell is open
Take the courage from you, take the heart you've never known
Peeking through a window, there's a light that's breaking into
From up here it doesn't seem so bad
Dead air and static, is there anybody out there
Do we all die alone
I'm sorry son, you're not a hero anymore
I'm sorry son, you're not a hero anymore
We're here to thank you, we're not here to give you more
I'm sorry son, you're not a hero anymore
Go!
Suzy wants to be a doctor, wants to save a million lives
Timmy thinks the world is better when we're all safe, no one dies
I just want to see the world burn, watch the embers down below
Can't I make something of myself, do we all just die alone
It's a foolish chase, I wish I never gotten into
Take the courage from you, take the heart you ever known
I'm sorry son, you're not a hero anymore
I'm sorry son, you're not a hero anymore
We're here to thank you, we're not here to give you more
I'm sorry son, you're not a hero anymore
I'm sorry son, you're not a hero anymore
I'm sorry son, you're not a hero anymore
We're here to thank you, we're not here to give you more
I'm sorry son, you're not a hero anymore
The song “You’re Not Alone” by ATB pres. ATOM is not only about measurement systems and their conversion, but the lyrics also touch upon cultural differences and the willingness to embrace change. The song begins by pointing out the flaws in the English system of measurement and how using units of ten, as in the metric system, can make conversion easy. The singer asserts that they are taking a stand against this “disease” of using non-metric units of measurement.
The chorus reinforces the message of the song, stating that the singer is “intoxicated in support of metrics” and urging others to join in by asking them to “drink a decaliter with me.” The song further exemplifies the advantages of metric measurement systems, highlighting how “all the cool things are in metrics” and how it can improve one’s health by making them thin.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics take a more intense turn, as they talk about a revolution and overcoming traditional/conservative thinking. The lyrics are a call to action to embrace change and move towards a more efficient, easy-to-use system. The song is a fun and witty reminder that change is not always quick, but it is necessary to progress forward.
