We Are Alone
Buckethead & Friends Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Silence
Ici nos âmes tutoient le ciel
Et nos hymnes éternels
Here we are

L'aube de nos dernières transes
Laisse un vide immense
Here we are

Je t'emmène une dernière fois suivre cette lumière qui ne s'éteint pas
Here we are

Something rise and fall
We thought we never lost control
Here we are

Something rise and fall
We thought we never lost control
Here we are

Silence
Et si les vagues éteignent nos âmes
Dans l'étourdissant vacarme
Here we are

Dansent les milles visages
Dans ce si beau mirage
Here we are

Je t'emmène une dernière fois suivre cette lumière qui ne s'éteint pas
Here we are

Something rise and fall
We thought we never lost control
Here we are

Something rise and fall
We thought we never lost control
Here we are

Silence
Et si les vagues éteignent nos âmes
Dans l'étourdissant vacarme

Silence
Ici nos âmes tutoient le ciel
Et nos hymnes éternels

Silence
Et si les vagues éteignent nos âmes
Dans l'étourdissant vacarme

Je t'emmène une dernière fois suivre cette lumière qui ne s'éteint pas

Something rise and fall
We thought we never lost control
Here we are

Something rise and fall
We thought we never lost control
Here we are

Something rise and fall

Overall Meaning

"We Are Alone" is a song by Buckethead & Friends that has a reflective and introspective tone, with lyrics that speak to the idea of being at peace with oneself and accepting the inevitable end of things. The song opens with the word "Silence," which sets the tone for the contemplative mood of the song. The first stanza of the song speaks to the idea of a spiritual connection with something greater than oneself, with the lyrics "Here we are, Where our souls address the sky, And our eternal hymns."

The second stanza talks about the realization of the ultimate end and the sense of emptiness it creates, with the lyrics "The dawn of our last trances leaves a huge void, Here we are." Despite this, there is a desire to hold onto something that endures, with the lyric "I take you away one last time to follow this light that never goes out."

The song repeats the line "Something rise and fall, We thought we never lost control, Here we are" which is a reflection of how life works, one day we think we have everything in control and we feel good but other times life seems out of control and things may fall apart around us. But even in those moments of uncertainty, the singer is back to acknowledging their connectedness with the universe.

Overall, "We Are Alone" feels like a song that is meant to inspire us to reflect on our lives and the bigger picture. It talks about the fragility of things, the acceptance of our ultimate end, and the desire to find meaning and comfort in something that endures.
