We're All Alone
Anita Sarawak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it may never end
So cry no more
On the shore a dream
Will take us out to sea
For ever more
For ever more
And you can be with me
'Neath the waves
Through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone
We're all alone
Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out let it all begin
Learn how to pretend
Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do lovers too so cast
Your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear
Oh hold me dear
Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out let it all begin
Alls forgotten now
We're all alone
All alone
Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out let it all begin
Throw it to the wind my love
Hold me dear
All's forgotten now my love
We're all alone...
The song "We're All Alone" by Anita Sarawak is a soulful ballad that portrays a feeling of being disconnected from everything around one. The first stanza, "Outside the rain begins, and it may never end, so cry no more. On the shore a dream will take us out to sea, forever more" depicts the melancholic and hopeless feelings the singer of the song experiences regarding life. The rain symbolizes the difficult times, and the dream is a way to escape from them. The sea represents a journey to an unknown destination, where everything will be different and maybe better.
Moreover, the second stanza, "Close your eyes ami, and you can be with me 'neath the waves, through the caves of hours, long forgotten now. We're all alone, we're all alone" creates a romantic and emotional atmosphere to the song. The singer invites the loved one to join their journey to the sea, where they will be by themselves and understand each other fully. "Through the caves of hours long forgotten now" suggests that they will forget everything together, and they alone are the only thing that matters.
Finally, the last stanza portrays a sense of acceptance, "Once a story's told, it can't help but grow old. Roses do, lovers too. So, cast your seasons to the wind, and hold me dear. Oh, hold me dear." It shows that the characters have accepted their fate, and that love is fleeting, but it's worth it. Casting their seasons to the wind is a metaphor for embracing change, and letting go of the past.
