Being Alone
Brooke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Live fast, die hot not bitter, bitter
Fine lines across my fingers
Your touch, your taste still lingers (lingers)
I'm late but I'm a good liar
Love, hate the feeling of fire
Whiskey stains, my breath of desire
I still pick up whenever you call
It's just one thing I need you to know
I'm not so good at being alone
(I'm not good at being alone)
Next thing you're here and my clothes on the floor
I tell myself it won't work anymore
But next week you'll be back at my door
(I'm not good at being alone)
It's time I faced my demons
Taxi drive, lipstick, sinner (sinner, sinner)
Sinner (I'm not good at being alone)
Fake smiles at family dinners
Avoid each passing mirror (mirror, mirror)
Mirror (I'm not good at being alone)
I'm late but I'm a good liar
Love hate the feeling of fire
Whiskey stains, my breath of desire
I still pick up whenever you call
It's just one thing I need you to know
I'm not so good at being alone
(I'm not good at being alone)
Next thing you're here and my clothes on the floor
I tell myself it won't work anymore
But next week you'll be back at my door
(I'm not good at being alone)
I'm late but I'm a good liar
Love hate the feeling of fire
Whiskey stains my breath of desire (I'm not good at being a-)
I'm late but I'm a good liar
Love hate the feeling of fire
Whiskey stains my breath of desire
(I'm not good at being alone)
In Brooke's song "Being Alone," the lyrics delve into the struggles of being alone and the various ways in which the singer tries to cope with the emptiness and longing for connection. The lines, "I lost myself in the glitter / Live fast, die hot not bitter, bitter," suggest that the singer may have engaged in a superficial lifestyle to escape feelings of loneliness. They may have sought temporary distractions or thrills to fill the void within.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of self-deception, as the singer admits to being a good liar and having conflicting emotions towards love and hate. The lines, "I still pick up whenever you call / It's just one thing I need you to know / I'm not so good at being alone," reveal that the singer has difficulty resisting the pull of past relationships and struggles to find comfort in solitude. Despite telling themselves that it won't work anymore, they acknowledge that the longing for connection often leads to the repetition of unhealthy patterns, symbolized by the returning lover at their door.
The lyrics take a introspective turn towards the end, as the singer faces their own demons and acknowledges their inclination to put on a fake smile during family gatherings and avoid looking at themselves in the mirror. These actions may be a defense mechanism to avoid confronting their true feelings of loneliness and self-doubt. The repetition of the line, "I'm late but I'm a good liar / Love hate the feeling of fire / Whisky stains my breath of desire," encapsulates the internal conflict and self-destructive habits that the singer is trapped in.
Overall, "Being Alone" explores the struggle of finding solace within oneself, the temptation to seek external validation, and the cycle of repeating past mistakes. It offers a glimpse into the emotional turmoil and vulnerability that comes with being alone yet yearning for connection.
