All By Myself
Celine Dion琀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never needed anyone
And making 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
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone
"All By Myself" is a song by Celine Dion, the Belgian singer, that is about feeling lonely and abandoned. The lyrics reveal an emoting analysis of loneliness and the desperation that comes with it. The song starts by acknowledging the fact that the singer never needed anyone when she was young and making love was only for fun. However, she realizes that those days are long gone, and she is currently living alone. As she thinks of all the friends she has known, she tries to reach out to them by dialing their telephone numbers, but nobody's home. This incidence makes her feel even more lonely and isolated.
In the chorus, the singer exclaims that she does not want to be all by herself anymore. This phrase is repeated twice, which emphasizes her strong desire to seek companionship. She is finding it difficult to cope with being alone and in some situations, unsure of herself. However, she recognizes that love is the only solution to her emotional state, even if it is distant and obscure. In the final verse, she repeats the first verse, which acts as a reminder that she is all alone now and that she never needed anyone.
Line by Line Meaning
When I was young
In my younger years
I never needed anyone
I was independent and didn't rely on others
And making love was just for fun
Sex was just a casual pastime
Those days are gone
Those times are past and can't be relived
Livin' alone
Being single and without a partner
I think of all the friends I've known
I recall all the people that have been in my life
But when I dial the telephone
But when I try to reach out for company
Nobody's home
There's no one available to talk to
All by myself
I'm alone
Don't wanna be
I don't want this anymore
Anymore
I can't bear the loneliness anymore
Hard to be sure
Difficult to be certain
Sometimes I feel so insecure
At times I lack confidence and feel vulnerable
And love so distant and obscure
Finding love seems far away and not easy to achieve
Remains the cure
Love is still the solution and remedy
Don't wanna live
I don't want to exist
Oh
Indicating strong emotion
I never, never, never
I've never
Needed anyone
Required someone for support or companionship
