Adam first started writing music at a young age in the mid-90s using a combination of an Atari STe and Protracker - free software released for the sole purpose of creating music on home computers. Although originally being more interested in computer programming than music, this dabbling with music would later go from being a mere hobby to becoming a passion for all things musical.
Although Adam's earlier tracks were geared more towards industrial and VGM styles while taking an interest in metal and post-hardcore music, his style would later evolve to encompass a wide variety of sub-genres including dance, ambient, synthpop, downtempo, breaks and neo-classical styles while retaining his unique production style and melodic focus. While studying as a music production student at the University of Huddersfield, Adam began to experiment with incorporating vocals and guitar elements into his music proper, with the former becoming a key element in many of his songs.
Adam has also used his writing and production skills in other projects, including sound design and freelance composition projects for various companies as well as having his music licensed by various firms and individuals. Adam has also worked on various collaborations and remixes with other like-minded musicians.
You're On Your Own
Adam Fielding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time to go I guess
Alone here in silence
Guess there′s nothing left to say but
Don't fight the fact
No-one comes home
Just face the truth
You're on your own
We waved goodbye on the open road
Said farewell and now
I'm staggering randomly at 4am
And God I miss you
But whatever, I hope you′re having fun
Wherever the hell you are
If I knew it would be this hard
Would I still try?
Don′t fight the fact
No-one's coming home
Just face the truth
You′re on your own
You're on your own

n Adam Fielding's song "You're on Your Own," the singer appears to be facing a difficult and painful situation. He has come to the realization that it is time for him to leave, and he is resigned to the fact that he must do so alone. The lyrics express the sense of isolation and loneliness that he feels, as well as his frustration and confusion.
The first verse begins with the line "Somehow I knew this day was coming," which suggests that the singer has been anticipating this moment for some time. He acknowledges that it is time for him to move on and seems to accept this fact. However, the next line, "Alone here in silence," shows that he is struggling with the reality of leaving. The chorus reinforces this feeling of isolation, with the lines "Don't fight the fact / No-one comes home / Just face the truth / You're on your own." It is clear that the singer must now face the future without the support and companionship he once had.
In the second verse, the singer reminisces about the past and the good times he shared with the person he is leaving behind. He misses them and wishes they were still together. However, he also recognizes that life goes on, and he must find a way to move on as well. The chorus reiterates this sense of isolation and the harsh reality that he now faces. Ultimately, "You're on your own" serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes we are forced to face difficult challenges without the support and assistance we would like to have.

Somehow I knew this day was coming
I had a feeling that this day would come
Time to go I guess
It's time for me to leave now
Alone here in silence
I'm by myself in a quiet place
Guess there's nothing left to say but
I don't have anything else to say except
Don't fight the fact
Accept and acknowledge the truth
No-one comes home
Nobody is returning
Just face the truth
Accept the reality
You're on your own
You are alone
We waved goodbye on the open road
We said our goodbyes while on the open road
Said farewell and now
We parted ways and now
I'm staggering randomly at 4am
I'm aimlessly stumbling around at 4am
And God I miss you
I miss you so much
But whatever, I hope you're having fun
Regardless, I hope you're enjoying yourself
Wherever the hell you are
I have no idea where you are
If I knew it would be this hard
If I had known it would be this difficult
Would I still try?
Would I have still gone through with it?
I'm scared and uncertain
I'm afraid and unsure
Every day is a new challenge
Each day presents a new obstacle
I thought we'd always be together
I expected us to always be together
But now I'm starting to understand
But now I'm beginning to comprehend
I'll keep moving forward
I'll continue to push ahead
Even though my heart is breaking
Despite my heart being shattered
I'll find a way to survive
I'll figure out a way to live
Even if it's alone
Even if I have to do it by myself
