All By Myself
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
All by myself
Don't want to be, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live, all by myself anymore
Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
The lyrics of Celine Dion's song All By Myself describe the feeling of loneliness and isolation that the singer is experiencing. The first verse talks about how when the singer was younger, they didn't need anyone and making love was just for fun. However, as they've grown older, they've become more aware of their loneliness and how much they actually need someone in their life. The second verse talks about how the singer thinks about all the friends they've known, but when they try to reach out to them, nobody is there to answer the phone. This further reinforces the singer's feelings of loneliness and isolation.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's desire not to be alone anymore. The repetition of the phrase "all by myself" is a powerful way to convey the singer's feelings of complete isolation. The singer wants to share their life with someone and not have to go through it alone. The bridge of the song talks about how love is the cure to this loneliness and insecurity that the singer is feeling. However, love seems so distant and obscure, making it hard for the singer to find.
Line by Line Meaning
When I was young
In my youth
I never needed anyone
I didn't depend on anyone for support or assistance
And makin' love was just for fun
Physical intimacy was just a leisure activity
Those days are gone
That era has ended
Livin' alone
Residing alone
I think of all the friends I've known
I recollect all the friends I've had
But when I dial the telephone
But upon making a phone call
Nobody's home
No one answers
All by myself
Alone
Don't want to be, all by myself anymore
I don't desire to be alone anymore
All by myself
Lonely
Don't want to live, all by myself anymore
I don't want to experience solitude anymore
Hard to be sure
It's challenging to be certain
Some times I feel so insecure
At times, I feel uncertain or uneasy
And love so distant and obscure
Romantic affection that feels remote and unclear
Remains the cure
Is still the solution

That last note,at first she could not make it,in the recording studio it was so hard that the guy who composed the arrangement told her "you know Whitney is just next recording her album,if you want to I can call her" and she pulled it off...voilaaa
@Nofiih
It is actually not true. Céline did not think she could hit the note, but the guy, David Foster, was sure she could and then said to her: "Don't worry, Whitney is in the next room, so if you.." and it gave Céline the will and the courage to try, and then she hit the note perfectly in the first try!!
