Following the release of "Alone", two sequels to the song were released: "Alone, Pt. II" (2019), which features American singer Ava Max and "Better Off (Alone, Pt. III)" (2023), which is a collaboration with Dutch electronic music group Dash Berlin and British YouTuber Vikram Barn, better known as Vikkstar.
In a press release on 2 December, Walker stated: "For me, Alone is about cohesion. A song that praises the feeling and comfort of solidarity. When I started making music it was never about to be any (particular), but about creating something for others who could enjoy it with me. What I have experienced by making music and sharing it with (others) are stunning."
Alone
Alan Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna know
Am I losing my mind?
Never let me go
If this night is not forever
At least we are together
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
Anywhere, whenever
Apart, but still together
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
Unconscious mind
I'm wide awake
Wanna feel one last time
Take my pain away
If this night is not forever
At least we are together
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
Anywhere, whenever
Apart, but still together
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I'm not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
I'm not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone
I know I'm not alone
The lyrics to Alan Walker's "Alone" convey a sense of emotional turmoil and the desire for human connection. The singer appears to be questioning their own mental stability, asking whether they are losing their mind as they feel lost in their thoughts. However, they find comfort in the knowledge that they are not alone, even if they may physically be apart from others. The lyrics emphasize the importance of human connection and the reassurance it can provide, particularly in times of distress.
The phrase "lost in your mind" suggests a level of introspection or perhaps obsessive thinking, while "unconscious mind" implies a deeper level of thought and emotion. The line "wanna feel one last time, take my pain away" could be interpreted as a desire to numb oneself from emotional pain or to find relief from difficult thoughts.
The repetition of "I know I'm not alone" serves to reinforce the message of the song and provide a sense of comfort to the listener. It is a reminder that even in dark times, there is hope for connection and support.
Overall, the lyrics to "Alone" explore themes of loneliness, mental health, and the need for human connection. The song encourages listeners to reach out to others and to never give up hope for connection and support.
