Alone
Acylum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Convinced me she's fine
But when she leaves
I'm not so sure
It's always the same
She's playing her game
And when she goes
Why won't she say
She needs me?
I know she's not
As strong as she seems
Why don't I see
Her cry for help?
Why don't I feel
Her cry for help?
Why don't I hear
Her cry for help?
I wandered around
The streets of this town
Trying to find sense in it all
The rain on my face
It covers the trace
Of all the tears
I've had to waste
Why must we hide emotions?
Why must we never break down and cry?
All that I need
Is to cry for help
Somebody please hear me
Cry for help
All I can do
Is cry for help
No need to feel ashamed
Release the pain
Cry for help
Cry for help
Is all I need
All I need
Is a cry for help
Cry for help
Is all I need
All I need
Is a cry for help
Why must we hide emotions?
Why can't we ever break down and cry?
All that I need
Is to cry for help
I will be there
When you cry for help
Why don't I hear
Her cry for help?
All that I need
Is to cry for help
Somebody please hear me
Cry for help
All I can do
Is cry for help
All that I need
Is to cry for help
I will be there
When you cry for help
Is it so hard to cry for help?
Cry for help is all I need
No need to feel ashamed
All I need is a cry for help
Come on and release the pain
Cry for help is all I need
Put your trust in me
All I need is a cry for help
My love is gonna set you free
The lyrics to Acylum's song Alone convey a sense of deep loneliness and ambiguity in a relationship. The persona is with someone who seems happy and content when she is with him, but when she leaves, the persona feels lost and unsure of the situation. He also feels guilty that he cannot help the woman he is with when they are apart. As the song continues, the persona wanders the streets, trying to make sense of his emotions, and the rain disguises his tears. He questions why people hide their emotions and why it is such a struggle to cry for help.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of crying for help and how it can release the pain and bring healing. It highlights how crying for help is not a sign of weakness, but rather, it is a call for support and comfort. The final lines of the song signify that the persona is offering himself as a support system for his loved ones, and his love and empathy will set them free from their emotional distress.
Overall, the lyrics of Alone are powerful and poignant, addressing the importance of recognizing and expressing emotions and the value of seeking help when needed.

She's taken my time
She has consumed my time and attention
Convinced me she's fine
She has made me believe that she is okay
But when she leaves
But once she is gone
I'm not so sure
I am unsure about her well-being
It's always the same
This situation keeps happening repeatedly
She's playing her game
She is manipulating the situation
And when she goes
And when she departs
I feel to blame
I feel responsible for it
Why won't she say
Why does she not express or disclose
She needs me?
That she requires my presence or support
I know she's not
I am aware that she is not
As strong as she seems
As self-sufficient as she may appear
Why don't I see
Why am I unable to perceive or notice
Her cry for help?
The expression of her distress or need for assistance
Why don't I feel
Why am I unable to experience or sense
Her cry for help?
The expression of her distress or need for assistance
Why don't I hear
Why am I unable to listen or grasp
Her cry for help?
The expression of her distress or need for assistance
I wandered around
I aimlessly roamed
The streets of this town
The roads and pathways of this city
Trying to find sense in it all
Attempting to make meaning of everything
The rain on my face
The precipitation moistening my countenance
It covers the trace
It obscures any evidence
Of all the tears
Of all the weeping
I've had to waste
That I have had to squander needlessly
Why must we hide emotions?
Why are we expected to conceal our feelings?
Why must we never break down and cry?
Why are we discouraged from crying and releasing our emotions?
All that I need
All that I require
Is to cry for help
Is to express my need for assistance
Somebody please hear me
Someone please take heed of me
Cry for help
My plea for support
No need to feel ashamed
Do not be embarrassed or guilty
Release the pain
Let go of the agony
Cry for help
Pleading for aid
Is all I need
Is the only thing required
Come on and release the pain
Please let go of the agony
Put your trust in me
Have faith in me
My love is gonna set you free
My love will emancipate you
