Alpha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God knows it’s hard
When you’re not here i can pour out my heart
The words just come
But timing isn’t my best point
I miss the boat
Too scared to spit it out
I keep the lump in my throat
What’s the worst that can happen
Maybe i’ll die
Maybe my life will begin
But sometimes even the best lines are misconstrued
At times i’m eloquent
Though not in front of you
I could keep it so quiet
Never tell you my secret
Living a lie
I yell inside
Timing isn’t my best point
I miss the boat
Too scared to spit it out
Kept the lump in my throat
For crying out loud
What’s the worst that can happen
Maybe i’ll die
Maybe my life starts here
Surely you know what i’ve been dying to say
The lyrics of Alpha's song 'Surely' express the fear and apprehension that comes with confessing one's deepest emotions to someone they care about deeply. The songwriter describes how it feels like the weight of the words they want to say is lodged in their throat, causing a lump to form that they can't spit out. They reveal how miss the opportunity to share their true feelings, with an underlying fear of revealing their vulnerability and facing a possible rejection. The singer recognizes that the struggle to speak their truth is not just about timing, but also the fear of the consequences that may follow. They even entertain the thought that death could be a possibility, whether physical death or the death of the relationship, but still weighs the risks of confronting their feelings against living a lie.
The song has a poetic and introspective aspect that captures the emotions of many who find themselves unable to let their loved ones know how they truly feel. It showcases the fact that sometimes, the fear of the unknown, the fear of what could happen if one takes that leap of faith, is what holds us back from taking those steps towards emotional freedom.
