You're Not Alone
Beverley.S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't mean the game is fair
So you head the revolution
In your own illusion of despair
Where were you a year ago today
Don't lose your faith
You're not the first
Some day all this pain will pass
With someone to care for
And be there for always
When you kill the conversation
And make it hard to say goodbye
I just hate the situation
But you get drunk and I'm just tired
That was over years ago
Now I won't change my mind
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
Some day all this pain will pass
With someone to care for
And be there for always
Analyzing everything to find
Some peace of mind
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
Some day all this pain will pass
With someone to care for
And be there for
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
Some day all this pain will pass
With someone to care
Always
The lyrics of Beverley Craven's song You're Not The First convey a message of moving on from past traumatic experiences and realizing that you're not alone in having gone through them. The first verse suggests that rules exist, but they don't ensure that everyone gets a fair chance in life. This realization can lead to a feeling of being trapped, represented by "your own illusion of despair." The lyrics then address the person in question, asking where they were a year ago and encouraging them not to lose faith.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the message that the person is not alone in their pain and that it will eventually pass with time. It's likely that the lyrics are referencing a past relationship or a difficult period in the person's life, as the verses speak to trying to move on from the past and find peace of mind.
The second verse suggests that there may have been a conversation that ended badly, with the singer feeling frustrated at how difficult it is to say goodbye. The other person in the conversation may have turned to drinking, adding to the complexity of the situation. The singer acknowledges that these events happened years ago and they won't change their mind, but still encourages the person to accept that they're not the first to go through something like this.
