We'll Be Alone
CHROM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if we could leave reality
Would you like to be the lonely
Would you except your destiny
This is the time to lose your
To lose your doubts and your regrets
...and all your suffer
Some say we don't belong here
...and I agree
With every breathe we take
Our life is fading
All the mistakes we made
Just let us grow together
We could go through the fire
We could do anything at all
Just leave this place behind us
And write these letters on the wall
A place where we can be free
A place that we will call our home
Where we will stay and don't care
About the time we'll be alone
...at the end we'll be alone
Ready for some inspiration
Ready for the new world, take my hand
...and you will understand
Don't worry, don't you fear now
We're strong and side by side we stand
...in a foreign land
In Chrom's song "We'll Be Alone," the lyrics speak to the notion of escaping from reality and the world around us. The idea of reaching the "darkside" implies a desire to break free from the norm and explore something beyond what we-know-what-to-do-with, for in the endless void of the darkside, there is nothing to hold us back. The first few lines establish this yearning for something more than what one's current circumstances hold, but the question of whether or not the listener would like to be alone in the face of the unknown is asked.
The verse continues with an encouragement to lose all doubts and only focus on the future. Instead of dwelling on regrets and suffering, the lyrics suggest taking a leap of faith and diving headfirst into the unknown.
The second verse touches on the idea of feeling different and not belonging, which many people can relate to. Yet, the lyrics also suggest embracing one's uniqueness and using it to rise above the naysayers. The idea of life being fleeting and our mistakes being unavoidable is also presented, but the phrase "let us grow together" provides a shared experience between the singer and the listener as they confront the obstacles of life together.
The chorus speaks to the journey the two individuals are undertaking. They could face anything, even fire, if it means they can leave their current circumstances behind. The notion of creating a place to call home and a place where they can be free further supports the idea that the two are escaping their former lives in search of something more.
Overall, the song speaks to the human desire to belong, to find a place where we can be free and call home. The lyrics are also a call to take risks, to step outside of one's comfort zone and embrace the unknown, all while knowing that we are not alone in our journey.

Imagine if we could experience the unknown and shrouded parts of life

Envision a world where we could escape the constraints of everyday life
Would you like to be the lonely
Do you desire to be alone and isolated from others

And I concur with this sentiment

With each inhalation we experience
Our life is fading
Our existence is slowly disappearing
All the mistakes we made
Any errors we have committed
Just let us grow together
Let us develop and mature as a unit
We could go through the fire

A place where we can be free
A location where we can express ourselves without limitations
A place that we will call our home
A place we can identify as our sanctuary
Where we will stay and don't care
A place where we will reside and are unconcerned
About the time we'll be alone
It doesn't matter how much time we spend by ourselves
...at the end we'll be alone
Ultimately, our solitary existence is inevitable
Ready for some inspiration
Prepared to be motivated
Ready for the new world, take my hand
Ready to embrace change and embark on new experiences

And then you will comprehend
Don't worry, don't you fear now
Do not fret or be anxious
We're strong and side by side we stand
We are formidable and united
...in a foreign land
In a place that is unfamiliar to us
